Need advice for setting up a big mobile proxy farm

[drongodribble]

Less-problematic are those working in QMI mode; avoid MBIM mode in Linux.
So: SierraWireless (e.g. EM7455, EM7565, EM7511) and Quectel (e.g. EP06-A, EC25, EM12-G, RM520N-GL).
Their LTE category find yourself.

I am not using proxies but am using Quectel EC25s. They are connected over mini pcie via usb into a pi 5.
My use case is that I need to use cloudflare tunnel to access raspi desktop over nomachine.

I am having a problem with these modules - when I am conducting speedtest while connect via nomachine, sometimes it just randomly changes its internal NAT IP from like 192.168.225.30 ---> 192.168.225.36 etc.

Is there any way to force it to use same IP or what is the cause of the resets? Not enough power to the module? It's a problem because I use that IP to dial in via cloudflare warp client

@lucky.sparks Did you buy the zte wd580 yet? any comments?

I have resolved this - seems to be a power issue

Hello, I am interested in setting up a farm of 10 devices in Spain. According to you there are companies that manage the panel to see the amount of GB you assign to a user. The rotation of ips. And some users say they do it with python or another program. I would like to contact someone. To see if he can help me and so I do not depend on services of others to manage my farm.

I do not use proxysmart but node.js scripts to manage everything

Could you tell me which node scripts do you use to manage the proxies ? You can manage the bandwidth used. Limit it or even rotate the ips?

Choose opting for a cheaper cost instead of going for free. as it may not always be the best option

research 3proxy, then you can write primitive scripts using AI that would handle 3proxy configuration

I see now new-gen proxy farms moving away from USB hubs to 4g routers.

The main advantage they say is stability, USB hub transistors tend to overheat under big loads (Orico 10 ports)
and cause the dongle to be unstable and it's easy to restart the dongle from the router. Now they connect (cat 6) Sierra modems with antennas to routers, routers to switch, and to high core-clock 3proxy server.

Does someone do this? I will probably go with hub since I don't want to spend 30-40 eur per router. I need a proxy for heavy-scraping, cat 6 should be an upgrade and the dongles are expensive 33 eur.

But with node scripts executed with . The theme I would like to have a panel similar to xproxy more intuitive where I can see the dongles. And manage the GB of each user and the rotation of the ips for example every 5 or 10 minutes. That would not be possible with node no?

Right now I have around 1000 modems hosted in multiple countries,

Can you please elaborate on how you achieved the multiple countries part? Who's running the hardware for you and what would be the best solution for this to manage it in multiple countries?

 

[lucky.sparks]

how you achieved the multiple countries part?

Rent a place, either office or apartment. For some I have friends helping with hosting them.

Who's running the hardware for you

Most countries - no one, setup is self-sustainable and can be controlled remotely.

what would be the best solution for this to manage it in multiple countries?

Depends on your knowledge and skillset, I don't know nothing about your abilities or budget.

I find this so fascinating

Please share what revenue one dongle can generate per month/year in the US these days. What does it actually take to sell a mobile proxy? Is it a buyer's or seller's market?

 

[DarkCodeX]

5.4 Gb/s is a beast, but yeah, 3proxy might choke with that many connections; have you load-tested it or considered alternatives?

 

[proxystyler]

@lucky.sparks Please suggest what hardware worth considering instead of XU4, as it is obsolete - would the ODROID-N2+ be a good option?

Rock 5 Model A

what model would you recommend - 8GB or 16GB?

 

[lucky.sparks]

8 would be more than enough

8 would be more than enough

Coming in a bit late but I'm getting into the world of 4g proxy farm myself.
I've got a M710Q (i5 7th gen, 16gb ram), a sipolar 20 usb ports and a couple GT25 EC25-EUX dongles just to start learning.
What do you think of this setup, and is there any good documentation you could point me to to get started with 3proxy for a 4g farm specifically?

I did use 3proxy official documentation and their github issues to learn of the correct configuration.
