Why do I need a proxy IP for live streaming in Southeast Asia?
When doing domestic live streaming in Southeast Asia, many anchors will encounter problems with screen lag and sound delay. This is usually due to the fact that cross-border network transmission needs to go through multiple nodes, especially when the live broadcast platform server is not local. At this time through theLocalized deployment of proxy IPsIn addition, it can directly transfer the traffic to the nearest server node. For example, with ipipgo's Southeast Asia residential IP, equivalent to your live data to open a "highway to the city", measured latency can be reduced from 300ms to less than 80ms.
Three steps to build an exclusive live line
Step 1: Choose the precise proxy node
Turn on the map location function in the ipipgo backend, it is recommended to prioritize theSingapore, Malaysia, Viet NamThese three core nodes. These three countries not only have a good network infrastructure, but also cover the user base of neighboring countries. Be careful to choose a line labeled "residential IP", as this type of IP is less likely to be recognized by live streaming platforms.
Step 2: Configure the Live Push Streaming Tool
When setting up a proxy in OBS or XSplit, remember to check the boxTCP protocolThe transfer mode. Here is an easy place to step on the pit: if you encounter connection failure, change the proxy type from Socks5 to HTTP mode to try. ipipgo supports automatic switching of all protocols, which is particularly useful for the need for multi-platform live broadcast anchor.
| common problems | cure |
|---|---|
| Prompting for IP anomaly when pushing streams | Refresh ipipgo's IP pool for a new address now! |
| The screen appears to be a mosaic | Enable UDP acceleration in the background |
| Delayed display of pop-ups | Switch to static residential IP mode |
Step 3: Monitor network quality in real time
It is recommended to also turn on ipipgo's ownNetwork Diagnostic ToolsIt can display the current IP packet loss rate and routing trajectory in real time. When you see a node with a sudden increase in latency, you can cut the line in seconds by shaking it directly on the cell phone, and this feature is the most convenient way to switch that we have ever tested.
Five Tips to Improve Live Streaming Stability
1. dual-node hot standby: Bind IPs of two countries at the same time in the ipipgo background, when the delay of the main line exceeds 150ms, the system will automatically switch to the backup line
2. Time Period Preference: Thailand's evening peak (20:00-23:00) suggests manually switching to the Vietnam node
3. protocol bundle: TCP for video streaming + UDP for pop-up interaction
4. DNS Optimization: Check the "Local DNS resolution" option in the proxy settings.
5. Isolation of equipment: It is recommended to use a separate proxy for live cell phones and not to share the IP with other devices.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Will I be limited by the platform if I use a proxy IP?
A: As long as you use ipipgo's residential IP (not data center IP) and do not use it for more than 8 hours in a single day, the platform usually does not detect it as abnormal. It is recommended that you manually change your IP address after each live broadcast.
Q: Why is the latency still high sometimes?
A: First check whether you have selected the nodes of Philippines/Indonesia, the international export bandwidth of these two countries is relatively tight. It is recommended to check the "Smart Route" function in the background of ipipgo, the system will automatically avoid congested routes.
Q: Do I need special settings for mobile live streaming?
A: Android users are recommended to use ipipgo'svirtual network card modeFor iOS users, it is recommended to use Global Proxy Mode. Remember to turn on the "Mobile Network Optimization" switch in Settings, which is specially designed for 4G/5G live streaming with traffic compression.
Q: What should I do if my IP is blocked?
A: Immediate use of ipipgo'sEmergency Replacement ChannelThis feature will get new IPs from three different ASN service providers. if you are blocked frequently, it is recommended to change to the static residential IP + protocol masquerading combination solution.
