I need to create 4G mobile proxies. I've learned a bit online, but I'm still unclear on a few things. I need some additional knowledge to get to the finish line.

Here's the setup I'm aiming for:

- Multiple proxies in various countries (I have locations where I can plug stuff in).
- Ideally, each setup will take up as little space as possible.
- I need to be able to programmatically control everything remotely, via API. I can write this if nothing standard exists.

Here are some questions that I can't find the answer to:

1) Can a SIM bank + mobile gateways be used, or is that only for telecommunication stuff? Do people use dongles and Raspberry Pis even for large operations?
2) Can it be set up in a way where text and voice can still be used?
3) Is powering a dongle off/on the correct way to get a new IP?
4) Do any precautions need to be taken with carriers? I imagine data being used all day, every day doesn't sit well with them.
5) I'm having a hard time getting any dongle to work, even just on my laptop. I've made sure the bands match my carrier, but still nothing. Am I making a typical mistake?

Any software or equipment recommendations are welcome and appreciated. As well as advice or pitfalls to watch out for. Thanks guys.

1. No, maybe some but i didnt found such devices.
2. Text yes, voice - im not sure.
3. Overall yes, but some mobile operators dont give new IP on reboot.
4. Its not possibile to answer this question.
5. Probably yes.

You ask about software - most guys use self coded one. I have 150 USB dongles and it dont work as one would expect.

Too many dongles in small area with not perfect coverage and you are fucked.
 
Thanks for the reply, Satyr.

Could you elaborate on this part? Fucked in what sense?

Too many devices in small area = devices start to lose GSM signal. As result devices start to randomly jump online and offline. In my case (your may be different because of many factors) whole setup was not usable.
Maybe my setup would work good in different location, maybe not.
 
I've got a question, I've seen loads of "scripts" knocking about to set up a Huawei dongle with a Pi, but I'm worried about the security of them. Is there any way to check this? I'm a complete novice when it comes to programming.

They can't be very large. You can inspect the code and just make sure it's not doing anything malicious. If there are specific scripts you're talking about, I can look at them for you.

I had seen this post re: making own proxies https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/f...r-4g-mobile-proxies-in-seconds.1267773/unread
Didn't give a thorough read though because i'm a lazy person, but might be helpful to you

Yeah, thanks. I saw that also. That solution uses their software, though, and I want to be in control of everything. I actually have my system working now. It really isn't complicated.

This is the best BHW thread for someone who wants DIY instructions. I'm still looking for answers to some of my question above, though, as they're not covered by anything I've found online.
 
+1 for the betterknow's guide to use the RPI dongle method to create a 4G proxy with his complied software being sketchy. I've been using it for about a month now, and using ip2location to detect if my IP is a proxy. At the beginning of the month, maybe 1 in 20 IP addresses were detected as a residential proxy. Fast forward to now and I have to unplug the RPI 3-4 times before I get a clean IP. I am not using these IP's on more than one site and am not using them for any malicious activity.

It would be cool if someone that has more experience than me could verify my claims, I know enough to question things I see but not dig into the details of why and how. I believe he's simply having anyone that runs his script provide his proxy customers access to your connection, which in turn over time will burn out your specific IP range with the mobile provider and satellite location.

OP,
I hope you don't see this as thread highjacking.. as I am interested in your questions as well and just wanted to chime in my experience using that guide.

Yeah. Not many people do things for free out of the goodness of their hearts, unfortunately. Anyways, I've become very knowledgable now about all this stuff. Anyone can create their own proxies with a little bit of Linux know-how. I'm going to post a clear tutorial soon, maybe in the next couple months.

Why don't you go check the source code yourself? https://github.com/proxidize/4g-proxy/blob/master/free-4g-public-mini

Such databases are never accurate. The only thing that matters is the ISP.

Sorry OP for hijacking the thread. I'm sure the source code would benefit you as well.
