Testing my 4G proxies before selling them

Do I need to run a 7 day or longer beta phase before selling my self hosted 4g proxies(with Xproxy)?

Or checking if they work, ensuring they remain active over a 12 hour period, and doing speed tests on them myself be enough?

Tests include :

Http\https ipv4\ipv6
Latency of http\https
Dns leak of tcp\udp
Udp support (if socks5)
Download speed
Max connections test
Tcp Os (p0f)

Soon I'll release my publicly available proxy checker, that checks all the above. It has a web form and API access.

That sounds good! I'm looking forward to the release.

It makes sense to start sales in a special testing format: offer customers a hefty discount or even a free trial period. Real-world use under actual user load always differs from lab tests, and in those tests you might fixate on some metric that doesn’t matter to your real buyers or their use cases.

Hey @Abidya, doing your tests is a good baseline, but real-world use can reveal issues you might miss in controlled checks. A short beta or trial period could help you gather feedback and see how your proxies hold up under different conditions. It also gives potential buyers more confidence before committing.

After the takedown of 5socks and anyproxy, the whole model of “real user residential IPs” via app hijacking or infected devices is highly risky. If you're looking for a cleaner alternative that still gives you genuine residential IPs, mobile proxies (4G/5G) are your best bet right now. They provide fresh, rotating, high-trust IPs and you stay in control of the connection. Some P2P residential networks also exist with user consent, but those come with their own limitations and ethical considerations.
