What is the difference between a Hong Kong Native IP and a regular proxy IP?
Many users tend to confuse "Hong Kong Native IP" with ordinary proxy IP when choosing a proxy IP. true Hong Kong Native IP needs to fulfill two core conditions:IP registered address attributed to Hong Kong local organizationandServer physical location in Hong Kong server room. These IPs are directly assigned by local ISP operators in Hong Kong (e.g. HGC, HKBN) and have a natural advantage in accessing local services compared to proxy IPs relayed through third-party countries.
Take ipipgo's Hong Kong native IP as an example, its IP segments come directly from carriers certified by the Office of the Telecommunications Authority of Hong Kong through theBGP multi-line direct connection technologyEnsure that the access path is not detoured. Measurement data shows that when using this type of IP to access Hong Kong local websites, the latency can be controlled within 5ms, while ordinary proxy IP usually takes more than 80ms.
Why is direct local ISP connectivity critical?
When a proxy IP service provider establishes a direct connection with a local ISP, it means that the data transmission no longer passes through an international exchange node. ipipgo has established a direct connection with major carriers in Hong Kong through theDedicated physical fiber optic cable, realizing three key advantages:
Speed Stability | Avoiding the effects of international network fluctuations |
Protocol compatibility | Perfectly support Hong Kong local payment system |
Recognition pass rate | 100% passes geo-verification for Hong Kong local services |
Especially for business scenarios that require calling local API interfaces in Hong Kong, the direct connection service can effectively avoid interface call failures due to fuzzy IP attribution. A cross-border e-commerce customer case shows that after using ipipgo's direct IP connection, the API response success rate of its order processing system increased from 67% to 99.2%.
How to verify the authenticity of a proxy IP?
The triple validation method is recommended:
- WHOIS Search: Check if the IP registrar is a licensed carrier in Hong Kong
- route tracking: Check the data transfer path using the tracert command
- Geolocation test: Verification of coordinates through location services such as Google Maps
ipipgo users can view each IP directly in the control panel for theASN coderespond in singingOperator qualification certificatesAll Hong Kong IPs come with a downloadable verification report.
Analysis of practical application scenarios
We have found that these businesses need Hong Kong native IP the most:
- FinTech platforms that need to interface with Hong Kong's banking system
- Marketing team running local social media accounts
- Logistics tracking system for cross-border e-commerce platforms
- Hong Kong server operation and maintenance for gaming companies
The case of an online education platform using ipipgo is worth referring to: when they switched the live server to a Hong Kong native IP, the video lag rate on the students' side dropped by 82%, while meeting the Hong Kong Education Bureau's localized operation requirements for online education platforms.
