Abstract
In one aspect, a method includes detecting that a mobile device application in a mobile device has generated a TCP based protocol request. The TCP based protocol request is automatically converted by the mobile device to a cellular-data network protocol request with the mobile device application. Two or more IP proxy servers are identified. Wherein the two or more IP proxy servers provide internet access to a mobile device via a cellular data network. A list of physical locations of each of the two or more IP proxy servers is generated. A location of the mobile device is calculated. A distance between the mobile device and each of the two or more IP proxy servers is automatically determined. A step includes selecting a physically nearest IP proxy server of the two or more internet protocol (IP) proxy servers to the mobile device. A step includes communicating the cellular-data network protocol request to the physically nearest IP proxy server via, at least in part, the cellular data network.
