Unfortunately it's going to be tough then. Sorry but I'm not looking to scale my operations for now :)

Hey Ale_ek! You shouldn't have too much problem doing the same in France if you have a registered company. Worst case scenario you can justify it by saying it's for sales reps. But as a private person you could be limited in terms of how many SIM cards you can get from one provider.

Hey there! Sorry for not keeping you updated guys! But nothing much to report except it's been working like a charm for the past 2 months with Proxidize. I'd say the most annoying thing with the free version is you can't programmatically change the ip but I don't really need it at the moment...

From France :)

I've received most of the hardware but my local post office has lost an item. So it will take more time than initially expected to set everything up.

This is not my line of work at all but really fascinating! Also, you're a good story teller. What happened to the model from Colombia you shared perfect alignment with?

Good question. First, I think I'll go with Proxidize since they have a free plan up to 5 endpoints. And if I decide to keep growing the farm past 5 endpoints, knowing me I'll probably build my own software (I know it might sound silly, but I just can't help it...).

Exactly! One could argue that the money and time invested is not worth it but I believe even just learning is. But also, I need to have full control of the best IPs possible. And experience has showed me that even popular providers like Bright Data can have crap proxies sometimes.

I've bought the necessary to start a small 4G proxies farm. - 1 Sipolar 10 ports USB hub (48€) - 1 ZTE MF79U dongle (36€) - 1 mini PC - Intel N97 3,6GHz - 8Go RAM (130€) - 1 SIM card - 130Go/month (9€/month) That's approximately 2x less expensive than the complete setup on Proxidize. I've yet...

Interesting! For example Proxidize seems to have a good reputation on the forum, yet they show such pictures of sometimes dozens of dongles in the same spot. But I would think in very crowded/touristic/big cities it can make sense since a single cell tower could have a lot of different...

It was meant as a good thing as I can learn even more, sorry if it felt spicy, that was not the intent :) In the case of a major city/capital I guess you can have many subnets for a same cell tower though?

Thanks for yet another rabbit hole to delve into :melting_face:

Probably a noob question but it seems weird all of them are on the same subnet no? I mean if you want to run a farm of 100 dongles, that would mean you need dozens of offices across the city/country?

You mean gather cookies on other websites first? Any article/resource on the impact of this?
