If you are looking for a proxy for the Periscope app to watch streams or launch your own broadcast, we have two pieces of news for you.
First: the Periscope service was officially closed in 2021.
Second: all of its features haven't disappeared — they moved inside the social network X (formerly Twitter) and are now called X Live.
The problem is that when accessing the X platform while traveling, regional restrictions may arise, and connection stability is critical for streamers. A standard VPN "cuts" the speed and causes the broadcast to freeze. In this guide, we will break down how to use a proxy to access Periscope's successor to stream and watch videos without buffering.
📌 Part 1. Why do you need proxies for X Live (formerly Periscope)?
Stable access from anywhere in the world
If you lose access to your favorite platforms while traveling, a proxy will help maintain a stable connection and provide secure access to global content, ensuring uninterrupted viewing wherever you are.
Broadcast Stability (Ping and Speed)
Free VPN services encrypt traffic, which heavily loads the channel. If you are streaming, a VPN can cause the image to "pixelate." A proxy works like a direct tunnel — it doesn't waste resources on complex encryption, providing the maximum video bitrate.
Managing corporate accounts for SMM agencies
If you manage a portfolio of corporate accounts or coordinate marketing campaigns, platforms might mistakenly block simultaneous access from a single IP. Assigning a unique IP address to each client's profile ensures secure access and prevents automated 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, but 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. |
| Broadcasting(Streamer) | Static Residential (ISP) | A streamer categorically must not change their IP during a broadcast, otherwise the stream will disconnect. A static home IP will provide you with perfect trust and a continuous session. |
| SMM and Analytics | Mobile (Private) or Rotating Residential | If you use software for automated legal SMM analytics and account management. Mobile IPs provide a connection with a high level of trust, guaranteeing the uninterrupted and secure operation of your software. |
🔧 Part 3. How to set up a proxy for watching streams?
The setup depends on the device you want to watch or broadcast from.
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 CyberYozh App (IP, Port, Login, Password).
In the settings (e.g., 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 are watching 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 via a foreign IP, while other sites open directly.
On a Computer (Antidetect Browsers for SMM)
If you manage multiple profiles (for brand moderation or SMM), standard browsers can lead to accidental data crossover or trigger automated security systems. You need an antidetect browser (Dolphin{anty}, AdsPower, Octo Browser).
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 spoof the time zone and WebRTC to match your proxy's GEO.
Result: Each of your accounts looks like a unique viewer with a separate device and IP address to the system.
Conclusion
The Periscope era has passed, but the demand for live broadcasts continues to grow. Remember that the X platform strictly moderates traffic. Attempting to stream through free public proxies will lead to lag and connection errors.
