Affiliate marketing is all about account parsing, farming, bypassing, and complete anonymity.
Affiliates who work with Facebook or Google Adwords know how quickly the system bans people for violating rules. Sometimes affiliates, already blocked by the platforms several times, find out that it is becoming harder—or completely impossible—to create new accounts or log in to the purchased ones.
However, there's a way to avoid such problems: proxies. In this article, we will talk you through the process, describing how to make your own proxies and highlighting the advantages.
Mobile proxies replace the real IP with the address of the cellular operator. The principle is simple: multiple requests sent to the server cannot be blocked. Mind you, however, this is not spam; these are actions from devices with the same IP. Constant data changes create an effect of the real user presence, thus deceiving the platform algorithms.

Mobile Proxy Advantages
There are quite a few:
- Mobile proxies hide IP. This ensures security on the network.
- Complete anonymity. No data is transferred, which protects your account.
- No traffic restrictions. Use as much as needed.
- Dynamic IP change. This feature allows you to work with multiple accounts simultaneously. The algorithm independently changes the data.
- Low risk of ban. Platforms do not impose restrictions that would harm thousands of users.
Why Do You Need a Proxy?
- You can create several accounts, which the system will not suspect as a deliberate increase of accounts.
- Cheating becomes possible as increasing the number of likes and views is no longer a problem. You can bypass the restrictions if you know how to make a proxy yourself.
- You can resort to parsing, which implies secure data collection while simulating smartphone activity.
- Farming accounts and launching advertising from a multi-account help you bypass restrictions.
Your Own Proxy vs. The Proxy You Buy
If you know how to make proxies, you win in any game. If you establish your own proxy, you can:
- Control the traffic;
- Save money: while the prices vary, depending on the tasks you need to accomplish and the number of IPs you require, this is still two times cheaper;
- Mobile proxies can be tailored for a particular GEO;
- You can make money on your own proxies by renting them out.
Create Your Proxy
We will examine four options for creating mobile proxies, drawing up step-by-step instructions using the Kraken service as an example.
Using Your Own Server
Equipment:
- USB hubs;
- Modems with the Hilink firmware;
- Sim cards. Choose operators with unlimited Internet;
- Server. You can use your PC;
- To connect USBs, you will need extension cords.
How does it work?
- Connect the USBs to the PC and the modems to the hub. Place them at a distance so as not to “interrupt” each other.
- Change web addresses in modems manually.
- Install a program for creating proxies. Instructions on mobile proxy creation can be found on the official website of the selected program.
Advantages: the IPs based on 4G are more reliable and faster than 3G.
Disadvantages: Internet payment for each modem is not always reliable.
Using Virtual Machines
A virtual machine is a cloud that simulates a PC. You can install it on your computer not to be limited to only one vds. All actions occur in the cloud, and its requests are perceived as those that come from a real PC. Each machine will have a unique device fingerprint.
How to do it?
- purchase a virtual machine (vds);
- connect it to Linux;
- select the network;
- grant the root rights (they give additional options to applications);
- set up a connection using a code;
- connect a modem to the PC, add it to the vds, and restart;
- launch the IP.
Disadvantages: virtual machines require experience and knowledge, so if you are a beginner, choose a simpler method to avoid mistakes.
Using a Modem
The connection is created through a mobile address using a modem with a SIM card.
To change the IP, you need to reconnect the connection in the interface or disable and enable it in the port. This only works with 3G. On 4G, use the Hilink firmware. To change your IP, you need:
- disconnect from the network;
- connect to 3G, then reconnect to 4G;
- then reconnect to the network.
Disadvantages: constant manual switching. If you have several IPs, it's not a big deal, but this method absolutely does not suit affiliates working with large volumes.
Advantages: simple, suitable for 10 IPs per day.
Android Proxy
Finally, something beginners can do: this option does not require any particular coding knowledge, and does not take a lot of time to figure things out.
All you need is Android 5.0 and a program, say, iProxy.online.
The process itself is simple: sign up and follow the steps. The process takes no more than 5 minutes. You just press next, and the system does everything for you.
IPs change in the Airplane mode in two ways:
- manually (turn on, turn off);
- remotely via root rights.
FreeProxy Internet Suite
FreeProxy Internet Suite allows you to add computers to the Internet through one connection. It distributes network requests to PCs and can work with modem connections. FreeProxy Internet receives requests locally and transmits them through cellular operators.
All you need is a PC and FreeProxy.
After installation, you can manage traffic in the interface and, by dividing the connection, provide other PCs with access to the Internet.
Advantages: free deployment, multiple features (blocking, URL filtering, and more.)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here we will explain how to enable Kraken Proxy on Linux Ubuntu.
Equipment:
- Server (PC). A 4-core mini-computer would do too. Connect 5 modems to it.
- 4G/LTE modem with the Hilink firmware.
- USB hub.
- Internet.
- Router. Take the simplest one, as it's enough for the 5 modems. If you plan to connect more modems in the future, get one with gigabit ports.
Instructions:
- Sign up for the Kraken website and purchase the license.
- Install Linux Ubuntu 18.04. The process must be carried out with the root rights.
- Install the unzip utility and unpack the archive.
- Go to /home/proxy, set execution permission, and run the installation script.
- During the installation process, enter your username, password, and email. The email is needed to receive information about the status of devices, servers, and other parameters.
- Adjust the SMTP (mail) service. You can use free email.
- Once these steps are completed, you will see a successful installation message.
- The 4G proxy is ready.
Farming Your Proxies
A farm, in this case, is an IP network. They are created as described above in the section on raising on Android.
Equipment:
- Smartphones (5-7 pieces) per farm. The price depends on where you buy them. These do not have to be new phones; old ones will do, too. We recommend giving your phone to specialists for rooting or buying a ready-to-use, specially programmed gadget.
- Large USB hub.
- Sim cards.
- Smart socket.
- Access to the service for creating proxies.
Affiliates can profit from the proxy farm in more ways than one: account farming is beneficial, but try also to rent it out at a price below the market price.
Criteria
- GEO. Not all services provide wide map coverage. Pay attention to restrictions.
- Trial period availability. Try to choose a service offering a trial period to gauge the functions and capabilities and test the parameters.
- License or subscription. The program may offer a subscription plan or a license to use.
- Price. There are free services and those that offer tariff plans. The final choice depends on the end goal.
