Hey @lucky.sparks, congrats on your success!
I've been following you for several months here, and you are a big inspiration for me.
Thanks to you, I started playing with browser automation but since I don't have any solid programming knowledge, I had to start with zennoposter, and my main obstacle currently is proxy, I have two questions if you don't mind.
My problem is that residential/mobile proxies are too expensive because most of them are being paid per used Gb and I use a lot of traffic and here comes my first question.
How / or do you even limit the amount of traffic your bots use? Like you use mainly https requests, or you have some method to cache websites, so once it's cached, every next bot is going to use a cached version?
This would not be a problem if I would make my own setup with unlimited data plans, and I thought about investing in several raspberry pi and dongles but I saw your post where you said that for a bigger scale, raspberry is not a good option and that you use an old pc with usb hud and dongles, and my second question is, would you consider making a tutorial on how to do that with a PC? I'm sure that would help many of us here :-D
I'm trying to find some tutorials but most are related to raspberry, not old pc or laptop.
