Why do I need to build a proxy with the socks5 protocol?
In daily work, we often encounter scenarios where we need to use multiple IP addresses at the same time, such as switching between different geographic IPs during data collection.The traditional way of manually replacing IPs is inefficient, and the socks5 protocol is like theIntelligent PlumberSocks5 supports UDP transmission and more secure authentication than other protocols. Compared with other protocols, socks5 supports UDP transmission and more secure authentication, especially suitable for business scenarios that require high anonymity.
Three elements that must be ready before building
Hardware device selection:Old laptops converted into servers are the most economical, it is recommended that the CPU dual-core or more, RAM from 4G
Network environment configuration:Ensure public IP or complete intranet penetration (optical cat to bridge mode)
Agent Resource Acquisition:On the official ipipgo websiteResidential IP ZoneFilter the pool of dynamic IPs supported by the socks5 protocol, taking care to record the API interface address

Hands-on configuration of nps server
Take the CentOS system as an example, after connecting to the server via SSH:
1. Implementationwget https://github.com/ehang-io/nps/releases/download/v0.26.10/linux_amd64_server.tar.gzDownload the installation package
2. Unzip and enter the nps directory, modify theconf/nps.confConfiguration file:
Proxy Listening Port Settings
socks_proxy_port=6001
Open web admin panel
web_port=8080
3. Activation of services:. /nps start
Key settings for docking ipipgo proxy pools
In the nps admin panel of theClient ManagementModule:
1. Create a new client with the recommended naming format ofArea_Use(e.g. US_DataMining)
2. Insocks5 proxy configurationFill in the authentication information provided by ipipgo:
Access information from the ipipgo console
Proxy server: gateway.ipipgo.io
Port range: 20,000-30,000
3. EnablingIntelligent Routing ModeSet up IP switching policy according to business requirements.
Verify that the proxy is in effect
The local computer performs double authentication after configuring the proxy client:
1. Visitsipipgo's IP Detection PageIf the IP address and carrier have changed, you can check whether the IP address and carrier have changed or not.
2. Operationcurl -socks5-hostname 127.0.0.1:6001 https://api.ip.sb/geoipGet current export IP
3. 10 consecutive refreshes, observe whether the IP address switches according to the set frequency
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does it show a successful connection but I can't access the network?
A: Check three settings: 1) whether the server fire prevention is open ports 2) authentication error alerts in nps logs 3) concurrency limit for ipipgo accounts
Q: How can I increase the proxy connection speed?
A: ①Select in ipipgo consoleLow Latency Node Group ② Adjust the compression parameter of nps to enable compression ③ Reduce TCP connection reuse time
Q: How to deal with frequent dropouts?
A: This is usually recommended due to the nature of the residential IP:
1. Set in npsFailure Retry Mechanism
2. Enabling ipipgoIP Health Detectionfunctionality
3. Adjust heartbeat detection interval to 30 seconds
Why choose ipipgo's residential IP resources?
After actual testing, ipipgo'sHome Broadband IP PoolThere are three advantages:
1. The ASN information associated with the egress IP is shown as a normal broadband user
2. IP survival cycles are consistent with the online behavior of real home users
3. Support for simultaneous initiation of TCP and UDP requests
These features make the proxy service built by nps closer to the real user network environment and perform well in scenarios that require simulation of real people's operations.
