Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Proxies But Were Too Afraid To Ask

2

When I started selling mobile proxies a few months ago, I thought I was about to make some easy money.

Spoiler alert: I was dead wrong.

Yes, I am completely sold out at the moment.

But if I was a less patient service provider, I wouldn’t have sold a single proxy.

What I found after opening up shop was that most people have literally zero idea what proxies even are, let alone how they work.

I always just ASSUMED that everyone already knew:

  • What a proxy was
  • Why proxies are needed for OnlyFans management
  • How to use proxies
  • The difference between datacenter, residential, and mobile proxies
  • That most proxy providers are charging you exhorbitant rates for data

The reality of the situation is that virtually NOBODY – other than the most seasoned of ewhores – had any idea about any of those things.

And even their knowledge I found lacking.

In fact, many of them are still paying ridiculous rates for data to providers like ProxyEmpire to run their operation.

By developing my own proxy farm, I had inadvertently taught myself more about networking than 99% of the OnlyFans agency owner community.

This became painfully obvious when I started offering proxies for sale.

Based on the type of questions I was getting, I quickly realized that most people were utterly clueless about how proxies are used.

Depite my frustration, I still managed to sell out my entire inventory a short amount of time.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if the conversations I had with some of these people took a few months off my life.

In this article, I am going to teach you everything you need to know about how proxies work and their applications in the OnlyFans business.

And just in case your like, “Damn bro I don’t need your life story, just let me buy some proxies!”

Then you can check out the listing on my store here.

But if you plan to order, please DM me on TG @yallapapi to make sure we have available stock.

Otherwise, enjoy the article!

Who is your proxy – and what does he do?

At its core, a proxy is just another IP that we use to connect to the internet.

If your IP puts you in London and you connect to a US proxy (IP), then sites that you visit will think that you are in the US.

Think of it like a “disguise” for your internet connection.

This is similar to a VPN, except a VPN will hide your traffic. Proxy servers do not.

Ok, so now that we know what proxies are, the next question is obvious:

What the hell are we supposed to use them for?

The purpose of proxies – for OFM purposes – is to give the appearance that distinct users (from separateare accounts) are performing actions on a given website.

  • Reddit upvote bots? They use proxies
  • Dating app farms? Also proxies
  • Mother/slave service? Proxies again

Pretty much EVERY form of automation that we will take advantage of in OFM uses proxies.

I’ll give you a simple example.

When I started OFM, I was lucky enough to partner with @accountstealth – AKA my Reddit Genius.

We had a deal worked out where I would provide the models and he would do the traffic and chatting.

This turned out to be one of the best moves of my OFM career, as he was the key to launching my Superstar model into orbit in her first two weeks.

Not only that, but it provided me with enough experience to riff off of for roughly my first ten articles.

After stumbling upon what I thought was an incredible strategy of partner with people for everything you don’t know how to do,” I decided to make it the core of my business model.

I started recruiting people for ALL aspects of my agency – recruiters, traffic experts, and chatters – confidently assuming they’d be able to replicate @accountstealth’s success.

Long story short, it failed spectacularly.

Not a single provider produced anything for me other than a headache.

But that didn’t stop me from trying to grow as fast as possible.

As the public-facing “CEO” of my brand, I just kept producing articles that loudly proclaimed how my idea was so BRILLIANT and would (eventually) earn me millions of dollars.

All without doing any work!

It took me a few months to realize that this strategy was awful.

One day towards the end, I had a terrible thought:

I’m going to have to learn, think, and do all the work myself!

How awful!

After having myself a good cry, I started to make a plan.

I fired all my service providers and was left with 6 models which I had to grow from scratch all by myself.

Even worse, my only knowledge of generating traffic was from casually watching over @accountstealth’s shoulder while he promoted our Superstar on Reddit.

Still, I knew I had to at least try, so I put together a plan to promote my remaining girls on Reddit and Twitter.

  • For Reddit, I would simply spam their content across relevant subreddits and hope for the best.
  • My plan with Twitter was to do mother/slave.

I’d create 100s of backup accounts for my models, @ their main accounts (which I was also in charge of), and spam marketing actions until the accounts got shut down.

I’ll spare you the details of that little project (you can read the full story here), but suffice to say it was a massive disaster for one simple reason:

PROXIES.

This is what happens, Larry (when you don’t use a proxy)

While I did experiment with Twitter, I chose to promote these girls primarily on Reddit for 4 reasons:

  1. I have a deep understanding of the site from being a casual user for years
  2. I understood HOW to promote models on Reddit from watching @accountstealth
  3. I knew I could ask @accountstealth for any help if I needed it
  4. My Twitter strategy required a 30 day warmup

Before I tell you what happened, let me tell you about this little personality quirk I have.

I’m an action taker.

I’m the type of guy who will just go try sh*t because he feels like it.

I am NOT the type of guy who will research the best way to do something and not do anything until I’ve found the PERFECT strategy.

Sounds great, right?

Except when you’re dealing with blackhat marketing, not doing things the right way means your accounts become unusable.

What you are essentially doing is building a castle on a rotten foundation – which is exactly what I did when trying to execute my Reddit strategy for these girls.

Before I got started, I sized up the task:

  1. I knew I had to make a lot of posts
  2. I had a lot of models
  3. I didn’t want to spend all day on Reddit

I thought using PostPone would save me some time.

But in reality, what happened was that I just spent all my time f*cking with spreadsheets instead of posting directly to Reddit.

Eventually I decided to cancel PostPone as it didn’t seem like it was worth the money.

Then I made my fatal mistake: I started running these girls’ accounts from my regular Chrome browser.

I would log in, post to a bunch of subreddits, log out, and then repeat the process with each of my girls – all from the same browser profile.

No Dolphin Anty, no GoLogin – nothing.

Hey, like I said – I’m a cowboy.

If you spend any amount of time promoting girls on Reddit then you’ll know that NSFW subreddits are unforgiving territory.

I mean imagine if you were a 350 lb fat neckbeard Reddit mod:

Why would you patiently explain to people WHY they broke the rules when you could just ban them instead?

Truthfully though, I can kind of relate.

The bigger my Telegram group gets, the less patience I have with people who don’t follow MY rules.

So I can only imagine what it’s like in a subreddit of half a million people.

I racked up a few bans but didn’t think much of it.

Cue my surprised Pikachu face when I got hit with a 7 day suspension from Reddit on not one, but TWO of my creators’ accounts.

Apparently, I had posted to one of the subreddits that a previous account had been banned in from an unbanned account.

Reddit viewed this as an attempt to circumvent their original ban and slapped me with the suspension.

I tried emailing their support to no avail.

(I’m sure they had a hearty chuckle when I told them I was just a poor little OnlyFans agency owner trying to pimp his hoes to thirsty Redditors.)

The technical explanation of what happened is pretty simple:

I logged into Reddit from my home IP address, broke their rules, and they “caught” me when I logged into a DIFFERENT account but from the SAME IP and tried to post to that same subreddit AGAIN.

The correct move here would have been to use proxies.

In this case, it wasn’t that I used the WRONG proxy. It was that I didn’t use any at all.

If I had used ANY proxy for these accounts – just something to make it seem like the web traffic was coming from a different IP – then I wouldn’t have been hit with the suspension.

When You Buy Cheap, You Buy Twice

Once the accounts got suspended, I decided to turn my attention back to my Twitter mother/slave operation.

The idea with mother/slave is simple:

  • You have one “main” account that acts like a normal person: posts things, engages with people, etc.
  • Then you have 100s or 1000s of “slave” accounts that perform marketing actions: follow/unfollow, liking posts, DMing, etc.

There are a few challenges with this strategy:

  1. Account creation and verification is becoming increasingly difficult
  2. Accounts get hit with frequent verification requests which slows activity
  3. Accounts are often identified as bots and banned

If you solve two of these problems, then you can build a nice little mother/slave operation with a medium amount of headache.

If you can solve all 3, then you make a sh*tload of money.

Spoiler alert: I wasn’t able to solve any of them.

Remember that little personality quirk I told you about before? The one where I just try stuff and figure it out along the way?

Yeah, didn’t work here either.

I was so stressed to get these girls some results so quickly that I let myself get sloppy.

Can you guess WHY my method failed to get any traction?

PROXIES.

This time, it wasn’t that I didn’t use ANY proxies. It’s that I used low quality ones.

To run this strategy, I decided to fire up old Jarvee again.

Because I was loading up 100-200 accounts, I chose to go with low quality datacenter proxies which are often very inexpensive.

I was getting mine for $0.10 each (and probably overpaying).

Other than free proxies, datacenter are the cheapest proxies that you can get.

Datacenter proxies are also the riskiest to use for automation and have the lowest trust score.

Still, that didn’t stop me from using them for my Jarvee operation.

At first, things seemed to be going well.

Every day I’d spend a few hours setting up accounts, verifying them, scheduling posts, and tweaking the settings of my warm up campaign.

I’d get a few subs here and there for some of the girls, but none of the accounts lasted for more than a few weeks.

And the ones that DID last that long were shadowbanned.

Eventually, I got sick of spinning my wheels and scrapped both projects.

I may have lost all my models, wasted a bunch of money, and burnt my precious time.

But I came away with one important lesson: The right proxies are the DIFFERENCE MAKER between your method working and your method not working.

Breaking Down The Different Types Of Proxies

I mentioned this in the full article I wrote detailing my experience, but I’ll sum it for you here:

If I could do it all over again, I would use better proxies.

In fact, I believe it’s even safe to say that my improper use of proxies here was THE ONE THING that prevented me from getting any traction whatsoever.

In order to understand why, let’s go over the different types of proxies and how they work.

You have 4 categories of proxies:

  • Free
  • Datacenter
  • Residential
  • Mobile

Free Proxies – A Waste Of Money

Yes, you CAN get free proxies. But they are functionally useless for automation.

Free proxies have been passed around more than a drunk Swedish tourist who wandered into the wrong favela.

And like that Swedish tourist, the proxy won’t last long before it dies.

On a less morbid note, because free proxies are free, they are often used by broke people in 3rd world countries to do shady sh*t.

Their scam score is usually off the charts.

Not only that, but they are incredibly SLOW because they are shared between multiple people.

Of course you’re welcome to do your own research. 

Everyone loves free sh*t.

But you heard it here first: free proxies are absolutely worthless for the things we are trying to do.

Datacenter Proxies – You’re Not Fooling Anybody

Going up one level in quality, we have datacenter proxies.

Datacenter proxies are a type of proxy server that route your internet traffic through something called a “datacenter” rather than an individual’s home, office, or mobile network.

Don’t let the word “datacenter” confuse you, either.

A datacenter is just a facility used to house a large number of servers and other networking equipment.

When you use a datacenter proxy, your internet requests are sent to the datacenter, which acts as an intermediary between your device and the websites you are trying to access.

The datacenter assigns you an IP address associated with one of its servers, making it appear as though your requests are coming from that server.

These types of proxies are not entirely useless (like free proxies). But for automation they are more trouble than they’re worth.

“When you buy cheap, you buy twice.”

The reason datacenter proxies should be avoided is that since they are not associated with residential or mobile networks (both of which have a higher trust score), some websites or services may easily identify and block requests from datacenter IP addresses.

That said, these types of proxies CAN be useful in other areas:

Anonymity: By using a datacenter proxy, your original IP address is masked, providing a layer of anonymity.

Web Scraping: By rotating through multiple datacenter proxies, web scrapers can avoid being blocked or flagged as suspicious by the websites they are scraping.

Bypassing Restrictions: Some sites may impose restrictions based on IP addresses (and/or geolocation). By using datacenter proxies, you can change your apparent location and bypass these restrictions.

The major drawback of using datacenter proxies is that datacenter IP addresses are generally less reliable in terms of reputation compared to residential or mobile IP addresses.

(Fun fact: want to check the scam score of an IP? I use Scamalytics.)

Not only that, but social media platforms often maintain databases of IP addresses associated with spam, abuse, or suspicious activities.

Since datacenter IPs are commonly used by multiple users, they are more likely to be flagged or associated with undesirable behavior.

This can increase the likelihood of your accounts being rate limited, put through a verification loop, shadowbanned, suspended, or outright banned.

It’s hard enough running a Tinder farm – imagine how much harder it would be if you had to do it from datacenter proxies.

Bottom line: datacenter proxies are not completely useless, but for high level automation on multi-billion dollar sites, they are more trouble than they’re worth.

Residential Proxies – Overpriced, Unreliable, and Fraught With Problems

Okay, so now that we’ve established why datacenter proxies suck, let’s go up another level in quality: residential proxies.

Residential proxies are proxy servers that route your internet traffic through IP addresses assigned to residential users by internet service providers (ISPs).

Here’s the key distinction between residential and datacenter proxies:

Residential proxy IPs are assigned by ISPs that belong to real people (e.g., someone’s home router), whereas datacenter proxies use cloud servers and datacenter’s IP pools.

So if residential proxies are obtained ONLY from households that have been assigned a residential IP from an ISP, HOW the heck do proxy providers offer their service?

How is it that these proxy providers have managed to access the internet connections of millions of private households?

There are 2 main ways:

  1. Botnets that are hijacking the users internet connection and providing access to it via malware
  2. Services that allow users to sell access to their internet connection for a fee

Even though it’s very unlikely, let’s assume that most proxy providers play by the rules and ONLY sell IPs of users who have opted into their network (haha yeah right).

How exactly does the second option work?

Residential proxy providers obtain IP addresses from residential users who willingly install software that allows their IP addresses to be used as proxies.

The residential proxy provider creates a network infrastructure using the acquired residential IP addresses, which serves as the foundation for the residential proxy service.

This is often called a “load balancer.”

Sounds fine and dandy, right?

Wrong.

EVEN IF THESE IPS ARE OBTAINED WITHOUT ANY FOUL PLAY, the residential proxy provider you’re paying $10/gb to does not OWN any of these proxies.

They simply “rent” them from users who have opted in (hopefully) to share their traffic.

So who cares, right? Doesn’t that just mean you have access to a bazillion IPs?

Well, sort of.

Residential proxies employ a rotation system – meaning they rotate the IPs among their own pool based on availability.

When you make a request through a residential proxy, the request is routed through one of the available IP addresses in the proxy network.

The problem is that you are only allowed to use a given IP as long as the user agrees to rent it to the provider.

Here’s an example:

If User A “rents” his IP to a proxy provider for a few hours while he’s at work, then you can use his IP for those few hours.

If he “turns off” the proxy provider’s access so he can play a few games of Dota before going to bed, then the proxy provider will assign you a different IP.

This is a problem for 2 reasons:

  1. It means that there is no such thing as a “static” residential proxy
  2. You have no control over the new IP you receive, which may have a high scam score

This is why all your precious Bumble or Instagram accounts can get wiped out faster than you can blink because your proxy provider assigned some low quality IPs to you.

Here’s the part you need to remember:

The main issue of using proxies from a residential proxy provider is that the provider doesn’t know for how long a device with a particular IP address is connected to its network.

Not only that, but the provider doesn’t have actual control over individual IP address.

This is why residential providers CAN’T sell proxies per individual IP addresses and why they do not offer dedicated residential proxies.

Add to this the fact that residential proxy providers often charge exhorbitant rates for data ($15/gb – really?), and it’s a wonder anyone actually uses them.

Bottom line: Residential proxies are BETTER than datacenter, but still not ideal because:

  1. Proxy providers can’t control how long they have access to the IPs they assign to you
  2. They assign IPs randomly based on whats available in their pool
  3. If the person before you “ruined” the proxy, then you inherit their bad reputation

Mobile Proxies – The Gold Standard

Now that we’ve gotten the trash out of the way, let’s talk about the only type of proxies you should be using: MOBILE PROXIES.

Let’s take a quick look at what mobile proxies are:

Mobile proxies are a type of proxy server that routes your internet traffic through IP addresses associated with mobile devices and their cellular networks.

Here’s the important distinction: ALL mobile traffic is routed through SIM cards.

No SIM card = no mobile traffic.

The way mobile proxies work is by utilizing the internet connection of mobile devices – phones, tablets, etc – that are connected to cellular networks.

One unique feature of mobile proxies – aside from their assignment being dependent on a SIM card – is that mobile IPs are NOT unique.

By design, mobile IPs are SHARED between multiple users.

However, they are not shared in the same way that residential and datacenter IPs are shared.

Resi and datacenter IPs are shared one at a time. You use it, then I use it, etc.

Mobile IPs are shared simultaneously.

This makes it MUCH easier for users to hide their traffic because it “blends in” with other users connecting through the same IP.

Not only that, but it is MUCH harder to run automations on mobile devices – which is partially why they have increased trust score compared to datacenter and residential connections.

You can set up multiple servers in a datacenter and spam your heart out with just a couple hundred dollars.

But because mobile infrastructure requires 1) a SIM card, and 2) a subscription to a carrier, and 3) an unrestricted development environment to automate actions (i.e. “jailbroken”) – there is a MUCH higher barrier to entry for mobile spammers.

Add to that the fact that mobile proxies are MUCH more expensive and you have a connection protocol that is incredibly high in trust and authenticity.

This is why IPs assigned by mobile carriers are usually clean as a whistle.

This combination of factors makes mobile proxies the safest and most reliable to use.

Now that we’ve established how mobile proxies work, let’s look at how that proxy provider who’s charging you $15/gb runs their service.

For the most part, it’s the same setup that we went over in the residential section, except much more expensive.

Mobile proxy providers gain access to mobile IPs the same 2 ways they gain access to residential IPs:

  1. They use a botnet to install software that allows the proxy provider to access the user’s mobile connection
  2. They pay mobile users to install software on thier device that allows the proxy provider to access their internet connection

These users are “renting” their IP and data to the proxy provider, much like we saw in the example in the previous section.

Similar to residential proxies, mobile proxies often employ a rotation system.

When you make a request through a mobile proxy, the request is routed through one of the available mobile devices in the proxy network.

With subsequent requests, the proxy rotates to a different mobile device and its associated IP address.

If you remember, the issue with rotating residential proxies was that you only have access to the IP for as long as the user agrees to “rent” it to the proxy provider.

This is less of an issue with mobile proxies because 1) mobile IPs are shared between multiple users, and 2) they automatically rotate anyway.

Apps and sites KNOW that mobile proxies are going to rotate. It’s just part of how they work.

What’s important is the fact that mobile proxies come from mobile devices, which are inherently MUCH higher trust than residential and datacenter connections.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t run into problems with mobile proxies. You absolutely can.

If you pay a proxy provider for access to a mobile IP, there’s a 100% chance that IP is being shared with other paying users.

And what do you think those other users are doing?

  • Do you think they’re paying $15/gb to check their email?
  • Do you think they’re paying $15/gb to watch TikToks?
  • Do you think they’re paying $15/gb to browse funny cat videos?

Obviously not – they’re up to no good, just like you.

And if they’re paying that much, then there’s a very high likelihood that they’re up to no good IN THE EXACT SAME WAY that you are – if you catch my drift.

Because of how mobile connections work, the apps won’t ban your IP. But they will nuke your account.

And if they see you try to create more from the same IP (even if it’s mobile), they may rate limit you, send you through a verification loop, or shadowban your account.

Not only that, but you run the risk that other proxy customers are using your IP in the same naughty way that you are.

This is because these proxy providers are selling what’s called SHARED proxies.

Shared proxies mean that users are sharing access to the proxy and data with each other This is why speeds are so low when using proxy providers that charge per gigabyte.

Despite this, mobile proxies are still “better” than datacenter and residential.

However, the way they are sold by these proxy providers can cause some problems: mainly slow speeds, more frequent bans, and unreliable IP rotation.

And not to mention WAY more expensive!

DEDICATED Mobile Proxies – The Platinum Standard

Now we’ve reached the TRUE gold standard of proxies – dedicated mobile.

“Dedicated” in this case just means that each proxy is assigned to only 1 person.

This is as opposed to “shared” – which obviously means that each proxy is shared between multiple people.

Yes, there are dedicated residential proxies out there as well, but this doesn’t solve the rest of the issues that come from “renting” (or stealing) other users’ internet connections through a load balancer.

Dedicated mobile proxies offer all the unique advantages of mobile proxies plus a few more:

  1. Drastically lower costs
  2. Less risk of bans
  3. Faster speeds

The reason is that proxy providers make a killing by charging PER GIGABYTE, whereas dedicated proxy providers sell PER IP.

So while a provider who sells by the GB may offer you “unlimited” IPs (depending on how big their network is), they are gouging you on the price per gigabyte of data.

Not only that, but you have no idea how many other users are also being sold the same IP.

But if your speeds are slow, then it’s virtually guaranteed that your mobile proxy is being used by other customers.

Dedicated mobile proxies aren’t cheap, either.

The going rate for US mobile proxies you can pay up to $125-$150/month for unlimited data.

3rd world countries like Russia and India are cheaper, but those countries have lower speeds (and lower trust/authenticity scores, for obvious reasons).

So, how do dedicated mobile proxies work?

If you recall, mobile proxies provided by a proxy provider are generated by the provider acting as a reseller of individual users’ mobile connections.

So User A agrees to “rent” their mobile connection to the proxy provider, who then resells it to User B at a premium.

Dedicated mobile proxies are different.

Instead of “renting” access to OTHER users’ IPs, dedicated mobile proxies rent out THEIR OWN IP to one user at a time.

Hence the term “dedicated.”

All the same rules still apply, it’s just a much cleaner setup.

  • The proxies still come from SIM cards.
  • They still have higher trust and authenticity scores (especially if they’re from the originating country of the site you’re trying to connect to).
  • They still share IPs among multiple users, making it easy to blend your traffic in with legitimate browsers.

Everything is exactly the same, except for one difference:

With dedicated mobile proxies, you are given ONLY ONE IP at a time.

Here’s the simplest way to explain it:

Non-dedicated mobile proxies:

  • Shared between multiple customers AND customers of the proxy provider
  • Pay per GB ($15 or more)
  • Slower and riskier
  • May lose connection if user stops sharing their IP
  • Access to multiple IPs

Dedicated mobile proxies:

  • Not shared between users
  • Pay flat rate
  • Faster speeds and more reliable
  • Will only lose connection if internet connection drops
  • Access to 1 IP (but can be rotated at will)

So you may be wondering: why on EARTH would ANYONE choose non-dedicated proxies over dedicated ones?

Dedicated mobile proxies are faster, more reliable, more secure, and you don’t run the risk of sharing an IP with spammers.

Not to mention they’re ENORMOUSLY cheaper than non-dedicated.

The answer is simple: non-dedicated mobile proxies allow access to multiple concurrent IPs.

Many blackhat marketers are mistakenly under the impression that anything more than 1 proxy per account per site will trigger the site’s spam detectors and they’ll lose the account.

But this is just plain wrong.

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: mobile IPs are shared between huge swathes of users ANYWAY.

In other words, there are already many people out there sharing your mobile data connection.

Your IP is NOT unique when you are connecting through mobile.

However, not only do sites KNOW that your connection is mobile (and thus shared by multiple users), but mobile proxies have a much lower scam score on average.

This misconception of “1 IP per account” comes from traumatic experiences of trying to put more than one account on a datacenter or residential proxy.

Datacenter proxies are full of problems already (low trust score, bad reputation, bad scam score).

Residential proxies (purchased from providers) also have problems – mainly that IPs are only used for a few requests before being switched, making it obvious that you are connecting through a proxy provider.

But the MAIN problem with trying to run multiple accounts per residential proxy is that it’s highly unlikely that your household (which is where residential IPs come from, remember?) has 5 desktop-browser-based connections to Instagram that are performing hundreds of actions per day.

However, it’s entirely possible that there are 5 users on the same MOBILE IP performing that many actions per day.

Why? Because mobile users share IPs!

In case it’s still not clear, bere’s the bottom line:

  • Residential IPs are 1 per residence.
  • Mobile IPs are 1 per ??? of people serviced by a given mobile carrier.

Remember how I said mobile traffic can “blend in” with legitimate users?

Many blackhat marketers have emotional scars from getting accounts banned after trying to run too many accounts from low quality residential or datacenter proxies, so they resort to paying ridiculous fees for data from shady proxy providers.

For people who actually know what they’re doing in the automation community, it’s commonly known that up to 5 accounts can be run simultaneously PER mobile proxy WITHOUT risking a ban!

So let’s do some math:

Let’s say we have two options:

  1. Residential proxies with unlimited IPs for $10/gb
  2. A dedicated mobile proxy with unlimited data for $125/mo

Let’s say that you’re only running 5 accounts and using 100mb of data per day.

Between 5 accounts, that’s 500mb/day. Over 30 days, that will be 15gb of data – or $150.

From this example ALONE we can see that dedicated mobile proxies are cheaper than residential proxies where you pay for data.

And good luck finding $10/gb unless you buy a lot of data up front.

Plus you still have the issues with the low quality IPs, sharing them with shady users, slow connection speeds, etc.

But let’s make this example even juicier…

Let’s say that your setup is sophisticated enough that you can modulate how many actions are performed in a given time period.

For all the hate that Jarvee gets, no other automation tool comes close to the level of detail allowed in determining how an account operates.

There is a MASSIVE learning curve to learning how to use Jarvee because of all of the options that it allows when it comes to automation.

For example, with Jarvee I can set an Instagram account to:

  • Follow between 5-9 people every 7 minutes with between a 15-30 second delay in between follows.
  • Take a break between 4-13 minutes after every 34 follows.
  • Apply the same (or different) schedule to liking, DMing, viewing stories, and more.

All of these little modifications trick Instagram into thinking that it’s a real account.

If your dating app autoswiper or social media automation tool offers a similar set of functions, then you can assign 5 accounts to operate in a 12 hour period.

So now instead of only being able to put 5 accounts on a single proxy, you’re able to put 10.

To run 10 dating app profiles per month at 100mb/day would cost you roughly $10/day in data – IF you were able to get it for $10/gb.

Stretched over a month, that would cost you $300.

But the price for mobile proxies would still be $125, because you are entitled to unlimited data.

AND not only that, but with dedicated mobile proxies you are running proxies that are:

  • Faster
  • Cleaner
  • More reliable
  • Not shared with spammers

And if you know someone who sells dedicated mobile proxies – say, some influential blogger in the OFM community who may or may not sell them for $75/mo – then you can save even more.

Does it make sense now why you should be using dedicated mobile proxies?

Where to get the best mobile proxies

If you’ve read this far, then I assume you’re “sold” when it comes to why you should be using dedicated US mobile proxies.

Let’s just do a quick recap:

  • Free proxies are trash
  • Datacenter proxies work, but have a terrible reputation
  • Residential proxies are better, but IPs are rotated too often and you may get unlucky with a bad one
  • Mobile proxies are better, but data costs are ridiculous
  • Dedicated mobile proxies are the safest, cleanest, and most cost-effective choice for high-level blackhat marketers

So now you’re probably wondering: where can I find these magical proxies?

One option is to use a service called Proxidize.

Founded by an extremely knowledgeable blackhat marketer, Proxidize provides an easy solution for people looking to set up their own mobile proxies.

Here are the costs involved:

  • $1800 for 20 modems (to put the SIM cards in)
  • $400/month for Proxidize’s service (turning the modems into proxies)
  • $600/month to your carrier for a phone plan ($30/month data plan x 20 SIMs)

Total first month cost: $2800 for 20 proxies.

That comes out to $140 per proxy per month.

The monthly upkeep cost for that many proxies would only be $1000/month. Not bad for that many proxies!

But we can do better.

Don’t get me wrong, Proxidize is a solid plug and play solution for people looking to set up large amounts of mobile proxies. They have smaller (and larger) plans as well which you are welcome to check out.

  • But what if you don’t want 5, 10, or 20 proxies at once?
  • What if you don’t want to shell out $500 (their smallest plan) for 5 modems?
  • What if you don’t want to commit to 5 additional phone lines from your carrier?
  • What if all you want is ONE or TWO or even THREE proxies for your automation needs?

Let’s face it – the odds that any of us are going to need any more than 10 proxies is very unlikely.

Even if you’re a killer on the dating apps running 100 accounts a month, you shouldn’t need more than 10 dedicated mobile proxies if your setup is sophisticated enough.

For the rest of us, there’s another solution: Official SimpHunter Dedicated Mobile Proxies.

Okay, so I’m still working on the name, but the point is that I have the CHEAPEST US 5G/4G mobile proxies for sale ANYWHERE.

I’ve already said it a few times, but here’s once more just for funsies:

$75/month for unlimited data.

These proxies are all homemade by me.

No reselling, no load balancing, no sharing between users.

Don’t get me wrong: I could EASILY set up a load balancer that sells proxies by the GB and gouge you like other proxy sellers out there.

But the reason I even set these up for sale in the first place is because these are the ONLY proxies that I would consider using for my own accounts.

Believe me – I’ve been through the hassle and pain of building up accounts only to lose them because of something as stupid as using a bad proxy.

I never want to experience that again.

And if you’ve ever been through that, I’m willing to bet you don’t either.

That said, I’m not a huge fan of competing on price.

But I know for a fact that there is not a single proxy provider out there who can offer dedicated US mobile proxies for $75/month. Believe me, I’ve checked!

These proxies are good for:

  1. Reddit
  2. TikTok
  3. Tinder
  4. Bumble
  5. Other dating apps
  6. Instagram
  7. Facebook
  8. OnlyFans

I’ll put it to you like this: they are good for every single website that allows a mobile connection from a US IP.

They will work for literally ANYTHING you would ever want to do with OFM.

If your question starts with, “Do they work for…”

The answer is YES.

Best of all, I also accept credit card payments for these proxies. No crypto required!

Wrapping it up

You started this article not knowing sh*t about how proxies worked.

Now, hopefully you have a better idea.

I don’t claim to know everything about computer network infrastructure, but I do know this:

  • Mobile proxies are the safest to use for automation.
  • Dedicated mobile proxies are the best value for money.
  • US-based IPs have the highest trust and authenticity.
  • Residential IPs are unpredictable, low quality, and overpriced.
  • Mobile proxy resellers sell your proxy to multiple people and gouge you per GB

Look, it’s like this: if something else was the best, I’d be selling that instead.

I don’t SELL one thing and USE another.

But don’t take my word for it – feel free to do your own research and come back to me with your results.

I’m always open to learning.

Good luck my dudes!
