Journal log #001
I had my focus elsewhere and CPA earnings dropped a lot, right now around $450/day. Everything is on a single network now, except Tier 3 which is going to a different network earning around $30/day.
It still does not require a lot of maintenance so I don't mind. It's recovering tho as you can see above, almost reaching $500/day(for tier1/tier2). Need to push $150 more to consider fully recovered.
Proxy business is going out of hand, now it's around 25k/month, and next month should reach 30k/month. Opened new locations, this weekend road trip to Poland. Oh kurwa.
Never could imagine how many technical difficulties can pop up when you start to scale these things. Now traffic is around 6 Tb/day.
Found a way to source cheap hardware: you need to go Alibaba and start bargain like you are in an Indian street market, turning down bad offers, without any shame asking for better prices, and going away from the seller if you don't like what you hear. In every proxy DIY guide - suggests Huawei dongles. Those proxy farms selling hardware "wE aRe uSiNg oNlY HuaWei e3372h" I bet none of them have tried ZTE MF79. lmao. hope they wont read this.
For computing devices I still prefer
XU4, haven't found anything better or more powerful. Still fighting to find the best PPPS(per port power switches) but it's only because of my perfectionism and isn't really a requirement.
Started to rent out Mac M1 machines too, demand is there for sure, not many suppliers in EU zone with decent latency for them to be easy to use. If you ask why, I consider Mac M1 to be the best stealth and anti-fingerprint solution to be used right now if you want to use/automate instagram or any other social using web clients. Good proxies and clean fingerprints guarantee free Gmail account creation without the need for any PVA.
Again tried to hire a developer, will see how it will go this time. Already forgot how annoying this process is, in the past months I've tried to work with more than 5-6 people and till now not a single one of them could meet my expectations. And it's not even the engineering skills they lack but the problem-solving aspect. My plan is to rebuild my engineering team this year so I need to keep searching.
Just finished(hopefully) a complicated setup for my friend where he needed to connect Android phones via PC and route them through proxy. What sounds like an easy task, in reality, was 2-week long testing and development run. It's all fun and games when you need to connect few phones, the real stuff comes out when you want to connect 100 phones per PC
We think today it finally worked. Will see. Can't talk much about it, Non-Disclosure is my middle name.
It's 4AM already.
Today was a good day.
See you the next one.
