Introduction
Oxyproxy was built to support a growing proxy services business that needed more than just basic proxy delivery. It provides a complete backend system where partners can supply proxies, users can purchase them securely, and admins can oversee everything from a central control layer.
By clearly separating responsibilities across servers, the platform stays stable, scalable, and easier to maintain as usage grows.
Challenges
Technical and operational challenges that needed to be solved to create a scalable, reliable, and high-performance proxy infrastructure.
Talk about your challenges →
Managing proxy infrastructure required clear separation between control, proxy generation, and traffic routing.
The system needed to stay consistent even if node or entry servers lost their local state.
Partners required a simple but secure way to register and manage proxies, both manually and through automation.
User authentication had to be secure without being complicated to use.
Payments needed to support both one-time purchases and subscriptions without breaking proxy allocation logic.
Solutions
We built Oxyproxy as an automated backend system that manages distributed proxy infrastructure end-to-end.
Distributed architecture
Designed a three-layer infrastructure with Master, Node, and Entry servers to ensure scalability, reliability, and clear service separation.
Secure authentication
Implemented magic-link based authentication for a seamless and secure user login experience.
Partner API ecosystem
Built partner APIs supporting both manual proxy registration and automated synchronization through node servers.
Automated proxy management
Developed background services for proxy validation, metadata enrichment, and lifecycle state management.
Payment & provisioning
Integrated PayPal for one-time and subscription payments, with automated proxy assignment following successful transactions.
Impact & Benefits
Oxyproxy makes it easier to manage and scale mobile proxy farm infrastructure. Centralized control through the Master Server reduces operational risk and improves reliability. Users get reliable access to proxies with clear lifecycle handling.
Technology stack
Built on a modern, modular architecture combining a Next.js frontend, a NestJS backend, PostgreSQL for data persistence, and AWS cloud infrastructure for reliable deployment and audit logging.
