The Beginning of the Journey

iProxy.online: How did you start your journey in the world of proxy farms?

Morko: It's quite simple. Initially, I used proxies for my own purposes. However, over time, I ended up with "excess" proxies (unused devices with proxy connections) that I decided to sell. Since the proxies were created through the iProxy service, I joined their community to learn how to do it properly. Thanks to effective advertising on the iProxy platforms, I attracted my first clients fairly quickly. This significantly eased and sped up the development of my proxy farm.

iProxy helps its proxy farmers with proxy sales, for example, by advertising on the trusted sellers' page.

Overcoming Obstacles

iProxy.online: What were the main difficulties you encountered when starting your proxy farm?

Morko: The main problem arose when purchasing a large number of SIM cards and negotiating a contract with the operator that had acceptable tariff conditions. The second problem, which was a priority for me due to my location in the USA, was the not entirely relevant list of iProxy verified phones for rooted devices (in the USA, not all phones can be rooted, especially Samsung devices).

iProxy.online: Were there any issues that arose with large volumes of devices?

Morko: When working with large volumes, there was one problematic aspect – the dependency on the location of the proxy farm. In the USA, for instance, there are specifics related to mobile connectivity. You might have excellent 5G reception across the street, but three minutes away, there might be no signal at all. So, a lot of time is spent finding a suitable location. If you're lucky, everything works right in your garage at home. If not, you have to rent an office. By the way, I recently moved my entire farm to a separate office in a business center.

Managing the Farm

iProxy.online: Who helps you maintain your proxy farm?

Morko: Since I initially put a lot of effort into creating an autonomous system for my proxy farm, it now doesn't require my constant presence and control. Sometimes I might ask my business partner to stop by and check on the farm. I should note that over the past 5-6 months, there haven't been any significant issues, everything works like clockwork. Nonetheless, I regularly (every few days) check the condition of the phones, battery levels, the functionality of the chargers, and so on. It's important to be prepared for potential problems and ensure everything is running smoothly.

iProxy.online: Do you have any unique know-how for managing the farm?

Morko: Yes, there are quite a few interesting features. The first is our custom power system, which ensures the farm's autonomy. At some point during the farm's expansion, I started integrating various smart gadgets, the distributed charging and monitoring system. I also have smart monitoring systems that track the overall power status of individual clusters within the farm. If the charge of any phone drops below a certain percentage, I immediately charge the entire cluster of those phones.

Additionally, iProxy has a Wi-Fi split function, which we tested by connecting through internet cables to ensure a more stable speed and a wider bandwidth.

Among the latest developments are special boxes where phone boards are placed and connected to the internet. The boards are directly linked to the server, allowing us to monitor their operation through a specialized system. This approach helps reduce the size of the farm and makes it more mobile. Even if the boards are installed without a charge, thanks to lithium-ion batteries, they continue to function as a portable server.

Working with Clients

iProxy.online: Besides advertising on the iProxy website, what other channels do you use to find clients?

Morko: Honestly, I haven't explored other sources much. Although I know where other proxy sellers advertise, I don't need to for several reasons: 1) the proxy farm isn't my primary business; 2) I have enough regular clients; 3) proxies are used for different purposes, and if I move to another platforms or forums, I'd need to carefully check clients to understand how they plan to use my proxies.

Morko: "I ask all new clients to take a survey first, and then I monitor their traffic for a while. If I don't like something, goodbye my love!"

iProxy.online: Does working with regular clients allow you to track market dynamics for proxies, including changes in demand, requests, etc.?

Morko: Yes, I notice certain seasonal trends from both regular and new clients. For example, over the past two years, changes in Google and Facebook policies have caused a "storm" among users, with demand fluctuating. Regular clients also indicate how many proxy connections they want to keep active – sometimes more in one month, less in another.

iProxy.online: In your opinion, has the demand for proxies been growing or declining in recent years?

Morko: It increasingly depends on geographic location. In some countries, proxy farms are springing up like mushrooms, while in others, growth is not as significant. So, you have to try different locations to offer your services. I’m fortunate to be in the USA, which is generally a "hot" geo. When I was creating Canadian proxies, there were requests, and it was possible to open a farm. But the main challenge for me was finding someone to maintain the farm (ideally a partner), and it was necessary to consider traveling there and negotiating with the operator to get good rates in terms of price and quality for SIM cards.

iProxy.online: Have you had any conflicts with clients?

Morko: I don't recall having any conflicts. However, there were some unpleasant situations where people tried to misuse my proxies, especially when I initially offered a long trial period. I've significantly reduced this period now, but compared to other sellers, I still offer a fairly generous trial period. Most offer from 10-15 minutes to half an hour, while mine is up to 2 hours.

Morko: My relationships with clients are based on respect and trust. I also have a relatively high pricing policy, offering premium proxies and premium service. Competing on price doesn’t make sense for me. Some sellers offer their proxies for $70-80 per month. My price is consistently $120-130 per month. If any issues arise on my end, I compensate the lost days. Any downtime of 3 hours or more results in an extra free day for the client. Additionally, if someone is dissatisfied, I provide a refund. I offer discounts to bulk clients, and there is a loyalty program for regular clients. Sometimes, I can just give everyone a $20-30 discount for a month, simply because I feel like it.

Plans and Prospects

iProxy.online: What are your future plans?

Morko: The main thing is to keep everything working as it is now. In the future, I'd like to grow my farm to 300 devices, and then we'll see.

iProxy.online: Many people in the proxy farming could learn a lot from you. Would you like to create a training course and share your knowledge?

Morko: That’s actually a great idea! I think I could create a basic course that covers various small nuances, like information about "device overmode." Overall, such a course could include training on effective communication with clients, SIM card operators, and forming an efficient pricing policy.

iProxy.online: What important advice can you give to proxy farming newcomers?

Morko: The most important advice is to treat the proxy farm business not as some temporary gig, but as a full-fledged business focused on the customer and requiring serious financial and time investments. It's crucial to address questions like how to develop this business, what you can offer to the client, how your business can be unique, and so on. I believe that a proxy farm is better suited as a starting business: if it works out, great, if not, then it's time to change direction.
