HTTP proxy request header modification techniques | HTTP proxy request header modification techniques and camouflage strategy

These request header operations can make your proxy IP more "stealthy"

Many people have encountered requests being intercepted when using HTTP proxies, in fact, the problem with 80% is in the request header settings. Just like wearing sunglasses into the bank will be focused on, with an abnormal request header to visit the site will also trigger the wind control. Here to teach you a few tricks in the field to verify the validity of the request header modification skills.

Three high-risk fields that must be checked

Testing with the million-strong residential IP pool provided by ipipgo revealed that these three fields are the most likely to be recognized as anomalies by websites:
User-Agent(It is recommended to keep it consistent with real browsers and avoid crawler logos such as python-requests)
Accept-Language(need to match the language commonly used in the target region, e.g. ja-JP for accessing Japanese websites)
Connection(Recommended to remain keep-alive to avoid high-frequency short connection characteristics)

Triple protection for advanced camouflage

When used in conjunction with ipipgo's Residential Proxy, it is recommended to overlay these protection strategies:
1. Dynamic Fingerprint Technology: randomize browser version number per request (example: Chrome 121.0.6167.185 to 121.0.6167.186)
2. geographic synchronization: When using ipipgo's Japanese IP, add X-Forwarded-For: real Japanese IP segment in the request header.
3. Protocol simulation: Make the mobile IP match Android/iOS device features by modifying the Sec-CH-UA-Platform version number.

Recommended Tools

We recommend using ipipgo's intelligent proxy management system with three major built-in automation features:
- Real-time request header detection (automatically compares standard request headers in the region where the current IP is located)
- Abnormal parameter alerts (alerts immediately when non-usable ports or protocols are detected)
- Automatic update of the fingerprint library (weekly synchronization of the feature libraries of the versions of the world's leading browsers)

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Is it illegal to modify the request header?
A: The technology itself is a neutral tool, the key depends on the usage scenario. It is recommended to comply with the relevant provisions of the Data Security Law and use the compliant proxy services provided by ipipgo.

Q: How can I detect if the request header is exposed?
A: With ipipgo's online testing tool, a diagnostic report will be automatically generated by entering the target URL, containing 17 request header risk indicators.

Q: How to choose between dynamic IP and static IP?
A: Choose dynamic IP for high-frequency visits (ipipgo's rotating residential IP is recommended) and static IP for those who need to maintain sessions (ipipgo's dedicated data center IP is recommended).

By reasonably configuring the request header parameters with ipipgo's real residential IP resources covering 240+ countries and regions around the world, you can effectively reduce the access interception rate of 90% or more.
