Exclusive IP Server Log Audit Function|Server Security Audit Trail Solution

Why do you need the log auditing feature for proxy IPs?

The biggest headache for organizations when using proxy IPs is theInability to trace records of specific operations. An e-commerce company has encountered employee misuse leading to account blocking, due to all the devices share the same IP, simply can not find out the responsible person. This is a typical lack ofIP-level log auditingIssues raised.

With ipipgo's exclusive IP service, each user/device is assigned a dedicated IP address. It's like issuing numbered overalls to each employee, any operation will be left in the server logsunique identifier. When abnormal login and irregular operation occurs, IP traceability enables accurate operation records down to the minute level.

Build a security audit system in three steps

Step 1: Deploy a separate IP pool
Created in the ipipgo backendStatic residential IP poolIt is recommended that you choose a real residential IP segment in your region to avoid being recognized as a data center IP. It is recommended to choose the real residential IP in your region to avoid being recognized as a data center IP. e.g. East China team chooses Shanghai/Hangzhou residential IP segments.

Step 2: Bind the operating identity
Use this table to create IP-person correspondences:

Step 3: Configure the logging system
Enable on Nginx or Apache serverExtended Logging Module, the record field needs to be included:
- Client Real IP (X-Forwarded-For)
- Access timestamp
- Request URL
- HTTP status code
Log files are recommended to be archived hourly and visualized for querying through tools such as ELK.

How do you do behavioral tracking with dynamic IPs?

For crawler operations that require frequent IP changes, ipipgo'sDynamic Residential IPbecome man and wifesession keeping technologyCan solve tracking challenges. Unique IDs are generated for each session, so that even if the IP changes, the system can still correlate the chain of operations through cookies or tokens.

After using this method, a data collection company successfully restored three key request records lost due to IP switching, and identified the real reason for the failure of the anti-crawl strategy.

QA Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long should audit logs be kept?
A: According to the requirements of the Network Security Law, logs should be kept for at least 6 months. ipipgo supports automatic uploading of logs to the cloud for storage, so you don't need to worry about the lack of local storage space.

Q: Will frequent dynamic IP switching affect auditing?
A: Using ipipgo'sSession identifier + timestampTwo-factor correlation scheme, even if the IP is changed once a minute, the operation path can be completely restored. We realize accurate tracking under 5 IP changes per second in stress test.

Q: How can I prevent insiders from tampering with logs?
A: provided by ipipgoBlockchain Depository ServicesThe hash value of each batch of logs is automatically generated and uploaded to the chain. In the event of a dispute, a legally valid proof of operation record can be issued.

Key indicators for choosing the right service provider

By comparing several vendors in the market, these parameters directly affect the audit results:

• IP purity: residential IPs are harder to flag than server room IPs
• IP exclusivity: shared IPs cannot distinguish user behavior
• Protocol support: HTTP/Socks5 and other protocols should be supported at the same time.
• Geographic location: IP coverage density in the area where the business is located

ipipgo excels in all four dimensions, especially its90 Million Real Residential IP LibraryThe company's audit program is designed to ensure that each audit record corresponds to the real network environment. We have helped a financial institution to detect the illegal operation of fraudulent use of other people's rights and avoid millions of losses.
