How can I make a 4G proxy with a 4G mobile sim card?
I have a unlimited bandwidth mobile plan, and want to turn it into a 4G proxy for personal usage.

My goal is to make a very fast IP rotating 4G Proxy.

What are the steps I would have to make to get it?


appreciate every opinion and advice on this, thank you :D

Involves a raspberry PI and some other software there is a full thread on here I can’t think of the name.

found the post, thank you.
only thing im not sure is, how fast is the IP change?

thank you :D
One question, do you maybe know how fast is the IP rotation with this setup?
I really like the setup, so would like to try it - but if the IP rotation is quite slow then its a no no for my needs.

IPs arent like some switches that you press to rotate them.

You obtain a new IP by restarting your device. A single sim hence is basically useless if you need fast ip rotation.

You will need multiple sims, networking devices for those sims (dongles,phone or router etc), and some way to programmatically restart those device's network interfaces.

That way, you can use one sim, restart the other to get a new ip, and once the session for the first sim ends, you can quickly rotate to another network interface.

I understand, but there has to be an easy way to rotate them.
A lot of proxy providers have fast IP rotation

it doesnt have to be 2 seconds.10-15 seconds would be enough

I have multiple phones, how hard is it to setup a phone instead of a dongle as a networking device?
and what would be the pros and cons

The way ip companies do that is by having hundreds if not thousands of IP addresses at their hands.

Considerably to really difficult depending on your expertise.

Pros could be that if you use multiple phones, they can basically act as entire vps instances. You can write (or have someone write for you) automation scripts that can do stuff like open an app, view a page, click somewhere etc. They don't scale very well. But they are great where fingerprinting is really important. This is how folks build Spotify streamfarms where having the app fingerprint is necessary to not get the artist banned.

Just as a proxy tho? There's no pros at all.

It can be too much work to just setup phones to use as proxies. Dongles are extremely convenient when all you need is a network interface. You don't need a full fledged computer for that.
And by now, there are services that make dongles plug-and-play to use as proxies.

@BetterKnow has a product like that. You basically buy a kit where you put your sims into usb dongles, Plug them into a usb hub, connect the hub into a computer (that comes with the kit) and you can now use them as proxies. Very convenient and easily scalable.
(I am not affiliated to them ofc)

If plug-and-play functionality like that can be possible, you are missing a lot of convenience even without something really neat like that.

yes, but they offer fast IP rotating option with UNIQUE 4G proxies.
thats the thing I need.

So no pros in my case. I need 4G rotating proxies for my twitter automation. thats it.

Can the regular setup - dongles with raspberry Pi - be setup in a way to rotate IPs or does it have to done manually by turning the device off and on

Dont know how hard it is but I only need the following:
- rotating 4G proxy - to use with Twitterdub (twitter automation software that I am using currently)

I can buy a dongle, raspberry pi, 4g sim card - its just important for the setup to have ROTATING 4G PROXIES, thats it
because twitter is giving me a real hard time using any other proxies other than mobile ones.

ps. thanks for the help :D

Yes, You can turn the usb dongles on and off (it's called "plug-cyclicng" btw, helps knowing the term when doing Google searches) with software. No need to turn off the rpi manually everytime.

There's a software called Uhubctl that you can install on your rpi. You can control power to the usb ports with it programmatically.

I`ve set up a couple of raspberry pi`s with 4g proxy rotation. You`ll have to disconnect the usb dongle with sim card fully and reactivate it with a script every xx seconds (whatever you enter). This way, the sim card should get a new ip every time it reconnects.
 
Even if you create your own 4G proxies, it is extremely hard to maintain them. Businesses spend millions of dollars only on maintaining proxies. I would suggest you to purchase a proxy instead of creating your own. You can search the marketplace, there are tons of services available. Remember, you can always ask for a trial.

On the other hand, if you are interested in making your own 4G Proxies in all respect, then you will have to decide whether you want to do it with 4G Dongle or Mobile Phones.

nice, will do so.
was very important to know it has the option first before buying

No need to restart anything. New IP's are obtained by re-registering in cellular network. All cellular devices can do it.

yes, but I need this automated, it wont be used by physical mobile phones

yes, there is a detailed guide on how to set it up. but didnt see guide how to make it rotate IPs, but now I understand that you can install a script that will do the IP rotatiting.

What is there so much to maintain? other than paying the provider every month?

And the cheapest price for good rotating 4G proxies here starts at 60 USD per month (at least)
meanwhile with this setup, a person could make it cheaper, depending in what country he lives in.

also I think that proxies made with this way should be safer to use.

I'm going to give you the advice that I give to everyone I talk to. This is not for everyone.

If you're willing to spend the time to learn how the technology works, then go for it. It will be incredibly rewarding. If you just want to get a mobile proxy with a few clicks and you don't really care about how it works, then I would recommend you just buy them.

I am ready to invest my time in this.
especially now that I found out it can rotate IPs and the selfmade 4G proxies are safer than bought ones.

similar to automation software, some are very easy - straightforward to learn like jarvee, and there are other, more complicated ones, that have benefits if used to its full potential and they are cheaper, but take a lot more time and effort to learn.

Good luck! Feel free to post any questions you have here in this thread and I'll do my best to be as helpful as possible :)
