Proxy ip address and port how to fill in the settings | Windows/Mac/browser proxy IP settings full guide

Basic knowledge of proxy IP addresses and ports

When using proxy IP services, theIP address and port number are a required golden combination。以ipipgo的代理服务为例，用户会获得类似「123.45.67.89:8080」的格式数据，冒号前的数字串是代理服务器地址，冒号后的四位数字是通信端口。这里要特别注意：不同协议类型（HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5）对应的端口号可能不同，ipipgo支持多协议接入，用户需根据实际使用场景选择对应协议。

Windows System Proxy Setting Tips

On Windows 10/11, it is recommended to pass theSystem Settings>Network and Internet>ProxyConfigure the path. To set up the proxy manually, you need to check the "Use proxy server" switch, fill in the IP address provided by ipipgo in the Address field, and fill in the corresponding number in the Port field. It is recommended to set "Bypass local proxy" to avoid affecting intranet access. If you are using specific software (e.g. crawler tool), you need to configure the proxy parameters inside the software, and pay attention to keep the protocol type consistent with the proxy specification provided by ipipgo.

MacOS Proxy Configuration Tips

For Apple users, theSystem Preferences > Network > Advanced > ProxyFinish the configuration. Here is a useful tip: when using "Auto Proxy Configuration", you can paste the address of the PAC file provided by ipipgo into the URL bar; if you choose Manual Configuration, you need to fill in the addresses and ports of the Web Proxy (HTTP) and the Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS) respectively. Special note that Mac system has better support for SOCKS5 protocol, it is recommended to prioritize this protocol type.

Browser exclusive proxy setting program

In Chrome, for example, after installing the SwitchyOmega plugin and creating a new scenario mode, theAgent Agreement Type中选择与ipipgo代理匹配的选项（HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5），填入IP地址和端口即可创建专属代理通道。建议同时配置「切换规则」实现智能分流，例如设置特定网站走代理，其他请求。Firefox用户可直接在Settings > Network SettingsNote that the "Use the same proxy for all protocols" option is checked.

Solutions to high-frequency problems

Q: I entered the correct address port but I can't connect?
A: First, check whether the proxy protocol matches (e.g., fill in the HTTP column with SOCKS5 protocol), and second, confirm the validity of the IP (dynamic IPs may be changed periodically), and it is recommended that you use the IP validity checking tool provided by ipipgo.

Q: How to synchronize agent configuration for multiple devices?
A: ipipgo's can be usedAPI interface to get dynamic IP poolIf you want to synchronize multiple terminals automatically, you can use scripts to synchronize them automatically. For ordinary users, it is recommended to export the configuration file for migration after the main devices are set up.

Q: What should I do if I encounter a blocked port?
A: ipipgo support80/443/8080 and other common portsIn case of special restrictions, you can switch the alternate port in the user's background. It is recommended to prioritize the use of port 443 (HTTPS default port) to improve the connectivity.

Q: How can I verify if the agent is in effect?
A：Visit "whatismyipaddress.com" and other IP testing websites, if the IP belongs to the same place as the proxy IP, it means it is effective. ipipipgo users can also use the background of theReal-time connection monitoringfunction to view the agent status.
