How to Start a Self-Employed Proxy Business?

A big factor is location especially if you want to run mobile proxies, where are you based?

I am based in Pakistan, and my main goal is to run multiple accounts, which requires multiple proxies to avoid blockages.
 
Advertise on BHW

Yes, you’re right -- proxy selling is a full-fledged business. It requires attention and a thoughtful approach. But when done right, it provides a stable and quite decent income.

where would you recommend selling these proxies once set up?

I’d definetly recommend the BHW proxy marketplace (but make sure to carefully read the rules). Many sellers also create their own Telegram channels to keep buyers updated on news and discounts. Some services even help their sellers find clients by allowing advertising on their platforms (we do this, and the feedback from sellers has been very positive).

A good strategy is to build long-term relationships with proxy buyers and encourage loyalty. Having a stable customer base will make things much easier in the long run.

p.s. One more thing I haven’t mentioned before -- when selling proxies (not just mobile ones, but any type), you should carefully consider your legal security. This is especially important if you plan to operate independently without third-party services. Proxies can sometimes be used for illegal activities, so you need to think ahead.

Hi everyone for this dump question

I want to start a self-employed company to create and sell proxies. Is this possible? Where should I start?

I need advice on:
1️⃣ Hardware requirements
2️⃣ Software setup
3️⃣ Who to contact to obtain IPs?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

If you want to get started with mobile proxies, there are a few things to consider.

To begin, you should choose the simplest option—creating proxies via an app without setting up extra servers or modems. You can use services like iproxy.online or localtonet.com. Both have their pros and cons.

Samsung phones are a good choice as they are easy to root. Additionally, SIM cards with unlimited data are essential.

If you need more help, let me know.
 
I started with 10 e3372 Usb modems a year and a half ago. Currently, there are about 200 of them in three locations in the region. Now i try another region in other coutry.
1. Proffesional(industrial) usb-hub - very important.
2. Reliable usb modems, I have E3372H-153
3. Study and patience
To search for clients on thematic sites, for example on BHW.
For example, I want to post an ad on this forum about selling a proxy, but I need a status. Must post 100 messages.
 
How can you avoid the proxie after rotate dont get the same ip?

The only stable way i see its
tuning of and on the modem in my case (E3372)

Looks like the modem dont turn off completly the conection to the tower.

iproxy.online has a feature to prevent same IP. Its called "Unique IP".

Please do not use Raspberry Pi for your setup, unless you are not serious about it. It would be OK just for sandbox environment, not for a production

May I ask what are the issues one would run into if they used Raspberry Pi?
 
Not a dumb question at all, mate starting a proxy business is definitely possible, but it takes the right setup. I also think you’ll need solid hardware, whether that’s dedicated servers or a network of devices for residential IPs.

Its also an easy start with apps like iproxy.online or localtonet.com. You only need a smartphone, the app and working simcard.
 
Starting a self-employed company to create and sell proxies is definitely possible.
  • Servers: You’ll need reliable servers to host your proxies. Consider cloud-based or dedicated servers for scalability.
  • Network Equipment: Ensure you have routers and switches capable of handling high traffic.
  • Storage: Adequate storage for logs and configurations.

  • Proxy Software: Use open-source or commercial proxy software to manage connections.
  • Monitoring Tools: Set up tools to monitor traffic, performance, and security.
  • Automation: Scripts or tools to automate IP rotation and maintenance.

​

  • ISPs: Partner with ISPs to obtain clean IP ranges.
  • Data Centers: Some data centers offer IP leasing services.
  • Residential IP Providers: For residential proxies, collaborate with providers specializing in real-user IPs.

​

  • Legal Compliance: Ensure your business complies with local laws and regulations.
  • Market Research: Study your target market and competitors to refine your offering.
 
I am in Kenya. Would I stand a chance to run a successful mobile proxy farm?
 
I’ve been researching this for a while, and mobile proxies seem like the most future-proof route, especially with social platforms getting stricter.
I’m curious though for someone starting small with maybe 1–2 phones and SIMs, what’s the best way to test demand? Is BHW marketplace still active for proxy sales or should we look at Telegram groups or Reddit too?
 
A few quick questions to help point you in the right direction:
  • Who do you want to sell proxies to (e.g., scrapers, marketers, social media users, ad verifiers?)
  • Are you thinking about datacenter, residential, or mobile proxies?
  • Do you plan to offer rotating IPs, static sessions, or location-targeted access?

Once you know the target use case and customer type, the hardware, software, and IP sourcing path becomes much clearer.
 
Not dumb at all, lots of people are getting into that space. It’s totally doable if you sort out the setup, find a good IP source, and take time to test and scale things properly.
