Need software for mobile devices that allows me to use their data connection as a proxy and a load balancer

Hi everyone. So basically what I would like to do is create a proxy provider service for mobile proxies.

The way this works is I want to offer people who have their own dedicated mobile proxies (run from android devices) the opportunity to download an app onto their phone which will allow me to utilize their mobile connection.

So they are essentially "renting" me their mobile connection which I will resell to users who want to connect through a mobile proxy.

The app that allows users to opt in to sharing their mobile data connection
A load balancer that assigns a proxy to a customer
The backend website that sells the proxies to customers

I know it's unlikely that one person can provide all of this, but let me know what you can do.

Thanks!

Its not good approach really. USB hub + 4g usb modems or dedicated device is what most proxy sellers do.
You rent a place (or someone do this for you), place 50-100 4g proxies in this place, done.
Reasons why its better solution:
- you have full controll over IP rotation (many people want this)
- you have no unexpected situations where proxy goes offline (anddroid based solution sounds like tons of unexpected problems)


Lets say with android based approach I want to open some website, website weight - 1megabyte. Android proxy needs to open this website (1mb data consumed) and send back data to your infrastructure (another 1mb data consumed), so for every 1 GB you sell to your customer you need 2 GB data usage on android device - thats shitty business model considering mobile bandwidth prices.

Same scenario with USB modems - usb modem consume 1mb and forward data via ads/ftth line (here you dont have to care about bandwith usage costs).

Approach you want... mobile app, whole backend + site.... $10k usd wont be enough and chances that you will end with shitty nonworking software are very high.
Before you pay anyone consider two facts:
- many devs who tell you they can do this have no experience with such setups on scale, as result you may end with shitty software.
- if you want to compete with oxylabs/brightdata/packetstream... they hire multiple devs, and to be honest what you want is full time work for at least one extremly skilled dev (aka dev you need to pay $5k month (if he is from belarus, ukraine etc and you are lucky), or $10k month if he is from country where salaries are better), think twice if you can afford this.

P.S. Packetstream use linux/windows/macos client for packeters who want to share their bandwidth. Android based solution is just bad idea.
