[DIY] How To Create Your Own 4G Proxy

[meatwaddirtysprite]

RPI is weak! can handle around 4-5 proxies and than you need a new rpi.

what if you were to just set up several docker images with the rpi image or some other headless linux distro if you're trying to really save on processing power on some server? i feel like this is a pretty obvious solution but at the same time must not be viable if no one tries it or talks about it

Hi Alpha Supreme. Your tutorial is great, thank you for taking the time to write it! I just have a a question nobody asked yet. Lets say I followed your tutorial and got 5 mobile proxies. Do I need to repurchase the entire setup to make 5 more? (5 new dongles/5 sim cards/new rasberry pi). Besides the script, nothing can be reused more than once?

 

[matt78180]

Why is 6 proxies the max?

Just what I needed, thank you so much for sharing!

Pretty nice work dude!
You could sell this as an ebook for some good price, sharing it with the community is kind of you for real!

Perhaps someone will find this useful.

There are some things that could be improved,

- Huawei devices are better/easier to use. Look for E3372 dongles, I personally find the best success with E5776 - they are the most stable.

- There are two modes - stick/hilink for USB dongles. I prefer hilink where USB dongle will have its own dhcp server and web UI. It will give you an API to call for device reboot that is not covered in OPs guide.

- By using hilink mode, most of 3proxy setup can be discarded, it will have only few lines.

- Don't go with Raspberry if you want more than 3-4 devices at the same time, I had some performance problems, old laptop or PC will work a lot better, it will save you some headaches. For testing and small setups - raspberry is fine. A lot of resources mentions that pie can handle 6 devices, but it did not work for me, possible because of hilink mode.

- Get a good USB hub, devices needs power and your raspberry/pc cant hold them all. Be careful by choosing USB hubs as some of them are bad. It needs to have external power. My choice was ORICO 10-Port Hub.

Have fun.

You are awesome. Thank you.

Great Guide Bookmarked

I just have one more question. What is the purpose of connecting the raspberry pi/computer to a router when the dongle/modem already provides internet access? Wouldn't it just be gratuitous at that point?

Yes, you are right.

The guide originally is a bit misleading as I believe it's just copypasted from other resources.

There are two reasons why to connect your router,

- your router/modem has a static IP address, so you can start selling your 4G off to BHW
- You want to connect to your pi from your main computer in a shared network

This information is also misleading, not really sure why you share it. Not everyone got static IPs. If you are talking about your internal IP then also your pi also got a static IP.

It can be misleading if you interpret it wrong and that's on you.

Yes, not everyone has a static IP, but I was replying "WHY" it says so in the guide. Not in general.

I'm totally confused and browsing through BHW I found this thread, so I thought I would ask it here before creating a new post.

I have access to a SIM card with unlimited 4g. I have as well a VPS where I run Jarvee 24/7.

My question is, would this setup be correct for me to have the VPS to use my SIM card 4g that I have at home? (that is changing the proxy settings on the VPS Network & Internet settings?)

Why do I need to have the raspberry connected to my router if I'm doing everything through the dongle?

Thanks in advance guys

I think it’s for internet stability purposes

It's possible. But will require some more advanced setup fuckery. You will need computer to attach dongle, and it will need to be online and accessible from outer network, so your home network needs a static IP address or you will need to do a back connect to your vps server.

Thanks for your reply. I guess that's the reason why you need a Raspberry?

Hi,

I managed it to have one SIM working but can't connect make the 2nd one work. I'm using my internal IP:3128 for the first one so I tried to configure the 2nd to my internal IP:3129 but no success.
Can you guide me, please?

Thanks!

Orico M3H10-V1 10 Port USB 3.0 Aluminum HUB
will this model work?
