I've been looking into botting and I've been researching the forums for a bit. It looks like mirror client along with a premium script would be the most ideal way to go.

Would a vpn be necessary, or would it just help a lot more?

 

Would this be all I need to start botting or am I missing anything else? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

If you have been banned several time on your own IP then you might be flagged so a proxy service or VPN might be helpful. I personally use Proxifier with a proxy chain whilst running mirror mode.

A proxy wont be neccessary unless you are running a bot farm.

Would I be able to set up a proxy for each account I bot on or is that not possible? Also, is there any guide for setting up a proxy ?

As Zakum said, a proxy isn't need but I recommend you follow this guide: http://osbot.org/forum/topic/68682-how-to-proxy-the-right-way-on-osbot-mirror-client/?hl=proxifier

 

If needed I may post my setup and how I did it.

Thank you! Is there any free proxy providers you'd recommend or would it just be better to buy them? If so, best place?

I'm using these guys: http://www.limeproxies.com/pricing.php

10 proxies for $10 works quite well for me.

Your own home IP is always the safest to bot on as long as you haven't been banned on it multiple times. If you plan to just bot an account or two and your home IP is clean, then I would just stick with what is safe. 

 

Like others have said, if you plan to run a big bot farm then proxies and a vpn may be necessary.
