Critical Maintenance Tips for Long-Term Stability
It is recommended for those who want to stabilize their cross-region accounts for a long period of time:
- Proxy IP regions updated 1 time per month (set up automatic rotation cycle in ipipgo backend)
- We recommend actively switching IP addresses when watching for more than 6 hours.
- Avoid frequent switching of different country nodes in a short period of time
With ipipgo's intelligent routing function, you can set up an automated policy of "automatically keeping the IP unchanged when watching content in the same region, and proactively changing the IP when switching content libraries," which balances stability and flexibility.
