XB22 vs XS Server Proxy Router
Choosing the correct hardware is critical to the stability, speed, and scaling of your proxy infrastructure. This guide compares XProxy's three hardware solutions: the XProxy Box XB22, the XS Proxy Server, and the XProxy Router.
Quick Overview
XProxy products are divided into two main categories: Proxy Generators (which create proxies from SIM cards) and Proxy Managers (which route device traffic through existing proxies).
| Specification | XProxy Box XB22 | XS Proxy Server | XProxy Router |
|---|---|---|---|
| Role | Proxy Generator (SIM cards) | Proxy Generator (SIM cards) | Proxy Manager & Gateway |
| Capacity | Up to 40 USB Dongles | Up to 100+ USB Dongles | 40–50 connected devices (WiFi/LAN) |
| CPU | Qualcomm Snapdragon / Cortex A53 | AMD Ryzen CPU | Dedicated network processor |
| RAM / SSD | 4GB RAM / 32GB ROM | 16GB RAM / 128GB SSD | Flash memory |
| Ethernet | 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) | 1000 Mbps (Gigabit) | Gigabit WAN / LAN |
| Form Factor | Palm-sized box | PC Tower Case (260x165x353 mm) | Standard router case |
| Best For | Beginners, home proxy setups | Commercial proxy selling, heavy scraping | Betting, multi-accounting, office LANs |
1. XProxy Box XB22 (The Starter Box)
The XB22 Box is a silent, palm-sized hardware node pre-installed with XProxy OS. It is designed to run in home networks or small-scale setups where power efficiency and space are primary concerns.
- Pros: Affordable, silent, extremely low power consumption, plug-and-play setup.
- Cons: Limited to 100Mbps Ethernet port speed. Connecting more than 30–40 dongles will overload the CPU and bottleneck network throughput.
- Perfect For: Home DIYers, beginners, and setups utilizing 5 to 30 LTE/5G USB dongles.
2. XS Proxy Server (The Enterprise Powerhouse)
The XS Proxy Server is a full-sized X86 tower server (approx. 260 x 165 x 353 mm) built on robust components, such as AMD Ryzen CPUs, 16GB RAM, and a 550W power supply. It runs XProxy software to orchestrate massive proxy farms.
- Pros: Gigabit Ethernet (1000Mbps) ensures zero network bottleneck. Handles up to 100+ dongles or 50 high-speed 5G modems (like the XProxy XM55) with concurrent rotations and high bandwidth tasks without lagging.
- Cons: Larger physical footprint (similar to a standard gaming PC tower) and requires external powered USB hubs to connect modems (no internal USB slots).
- Perfect For: Reseller proxy businesses, social media agencies, and high-frequency web scraping setups.
3. XProxy Router (The Smart Gateway)
The XProxy Router (the white router) functions differently from the XB22 and XS Server. It is not a proxy generator and does not connect to USB modems. Instead, it is a smart network manager that routes traffic from your connected devices (like phones or laptops) through external SOCKS5/HTTP proxies automatically.
- Pros: Zero client-side configuration. Devices connect via WiFi or LAN, and the router forces 100% of their traffic through assigned proxies, faking WebRTC, preventing DNS leaks, and protecting QUIC protocols. Supports up to 40-50 connected phones or computers.
- Cons: Does not generate proxies itself. You must connect it to an existing proxy source (such as your own XB22, XS Server, or third-party residential proxies).
- Perfect For: Multi-accounting managers, sports bookmaker betting, social media teams, and smart TVs or consoles that do not support native proxy configuration.
Hybrid Architecture: Combining Generators and Managers
For advanced teams, combining these hardware components offers the ultimate local proxy setup:
- Use an XS Server or XB22 connected to powered USB hubs and SIM cards to generate dynamic 4G/5G mobile proxies.
- Connect an XProxy Router to your local network.
- Connect your destination devices (e.g., 20 Android phones) to the XProxy Router WiFi.
- Assign the generated mobile proxy ports to each individual phone on the XProxy Router dashboard. Every device exits through a different SIM card IP with 100% guaranteed DNS and WebRTC protection.
