Proxidize Proxy Builder (Legacy) Overview & How It Works
Understand how legacy Proxidize Proxy Builder works end to end.
Proxy Builder is legacy documentation for existing users only.
Proxy Builder is no longer offered to new customers.
If you are new to Proxidize, use the managed cloud products instead.
A complete guide to how the Proxidize Proxy Builder works, what it's made up of, and how to get started building and managing your own mobile proxy network.
What is Proxidize Proxy Builder?
Proxidize Proxy Builder is a complete, end-to-end solution for building and managing your own 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G mobile proxies, without relying on a third-party proxy provider.
Most proxy users rent access from providers, meaning they share infrastructure, have no control over uptime or quality, and are subject to someone else's pricing. Proxy Builder flips that model entirely. Rather than buying proxies from someone else, you build and own your proxy infrastructure using your own hardware. Your proxies, your network, your control, with full visibility into performance, costs, and scale.
Using your own hardware (whether that's Android phones or a Linux-based server with USB modems) you can have mobile proxies up and running in minutes, managed entirely from a cloud dashboard accessible from anywhere in the world. The platform is built to scale with you, so whether you're starting with a single phone or deploying hundreds of modems, the infrastructure grows with your needs.

What Can You Build With It?
Proxy Builder currently supports two types of setups:
Android Agent: Use Android smartphones as mobile proxy sources. Simple to set up, no additional hardware required beyond the phone and a SIM card.
Linux Agent: Use a Linux-based server paired with USB LTE modems to create a scalable, high-capacity proxy network.
Both are managed through the same cloud dashboard, giving you a single place to monitor and control your entire proxy fleet.
How It Works
Proxy Builder is made up of two core components: hardware and software.
Hardware
Depending on your setup, your hardware will be either:
Android phones with active SIM cards, or
A Linux server connected to a USB hub with multiple LTE modems
Each device or modem acts as an individual mobile proxy endpoint, using real cellular connections that are indistinguishable from regular mobile network traffic.
Software
Cloud Router The Cloud Router handles communication between your hardware and the Proxidize platform, no manual router configuration, no port forwarding, no ISP restrictions to work around. Your proxies connect through one of many globally distributed cloud routers, making them accessible from anywhere in the world.
Cloud Dashboard The Cloud Dashboard is your central control panel for everything. From here you can:
Monitor all connected devices and proxies in real time
View detailed analytics and usage reports
Configure and manage individual proxies or entire fleets
Set up customizable alerts for device and connection events
Rotate IPs, manage endpoints, and control proxy settings remotely
Plans & Pricing
Proxy Builder plan details are kept for existing users who still need them.

The fastest way to get started depends on your hardware:
Using an Android phone? Start with the Android Agent: Device Compatibility & Requirements article, then follow Onboard an Android Device to Proxy Builder (Legacy).
Using a Linux server and modems? Check Linux Agent: System Requirements & Supported Modems before getting started.
