If you are looking for a proxy for the Periscope app to watch streams or start your own broadcast, we have two pieces of news for you.
First: the Periscope service has been officially closed since 2021.
Second: all its functions haven't disappeared — they moved inside the social network X (formerly Twitter) and are now called X Live.
The problem is that while traveling, you may need a secure and stable connection to platforms like X, and for streamers, connection stability is critical. A regular VPN "cuts" the speed and causes the broadcast to freeze. In this guide, we will look at how to use a proxy for reliable streaming and video viewing without buffering.
📌 Part 1. Why do you need a proxy for X Live (formerly Periscope)?
Stable access from anywhere in the world
A proxy will help maintain a reliable and secure connection to global content and platforms while traveling, ensuring continuous viewing wherever you are.
Broadcast stability (Ping and Speed)
Free VPN services encrypt traffic, which puts a heavy load on the channel. If you are hosting a stream, a VPN will cause the image to "fall apart." A proxy works like a direct tunnel — it doesn't waste resources on complex encryption, ensuring the maximum video bitrate.
Corporate account management for SMM agencies
If you manage a portfolio of corporate accounts or coordinate marketing campaigns, platforms may mistakenly block simultaneous access from a single IP. Assigning a unique IP address to each client's profile ensures secure access and prevents automatic account restrictions.
💡 Part 2. Which proxy to choose for broadcasts?
Broadcasting (streaming) is the most demanding type of traffic. You don't just need an IP change; you need a wide and stable channel.
| Task | Recommended proxy type | Why this one? |
| Watching streams(Viewer) | Datacenter (IPv4) or Static Residential (ISP) | To watch video in 1080p, you need a wide channel (from 5 Mbps). Datacenter proxies are the fastest and cheapest. Residential (ISP) proxies will provide maximum stability without the risk of connection "drops." |
| Hosting a broadcast(Streamer) | Static Residential (ISP) | A streamer categorically must not change their IP during the broadcast, otherwise the stream will be interrupted. A static home IP will provide you with high connection stability and a continuous session for broadcasts. |
| SMM and Analytics | Mobile (Private) or Rotating Residential | If you use software for legal SMM analytics automation and account management. Mobile IPs provide a connection with a high level of trust, ensuring uninterrupted and safe operation of your software. |
🔧 Part 3. How to set up a proxy for watching streams?
The setup depends on the device from which you want to watch or host the broadcast.
On a Smartphone (iOS / Android)
The official X app does not have built-in proxy settings. You need to "proxify" the entire phone or just the app itself.
Download a tunnel program: Super Proxy (for Android) or Potatso / Shadowrocket (for iOS).
Create a connection profile and enter the proxy data from the CyberYozh App (IP, Port, Login, Password).
In the settings (for example, in Super Proxy), select the option "Route only selected apps through proxy" and check the X app.
Start the connection and open X Live.
On a Computer (Browser)
If you watch broadcasts from a laptop:
Install the Proxy SwitchyOmega extension in Chrome or Firefox.
Add your proxy server credentials.
Create a rule (Auto Switch) so that the proxy only turns on for the
x.comandtwitter.comdomains.Result: Your streams work through a foreign IP, while other sites open directly.
On a Computer (Specialized private browsers for SMM)
If you manage multiple profiles (for brand moderation or SMM), standard browsers can lead to mixing session data when managing multiple client profiles. Specialized private browsers (Dolphin{anty}, AdsPower, Octo Browser) help isolate each client's session and ensure security.
Create a new profile for each X (Twitter) account.
In the "Proxy" section, paste the string with your data (IP:PORT:LOGIN:PASS) from your CyberYozh App personal account.
The browser will automatically synchronize the time zone and WebRTC settings with your proxy connection to increase privacy.
Result: This setup allows SMM managers to safely organize and manage many client accounts without connection conflicts.
Conclusion
The era of Periscope is gone, but the demand for live broadcasts is only growing. Remember that the X platform strictly moderates traffic. Attempting to stream through free public proxies will lead to lags and connection errors.
