What the hell does this thing do?
Nowadays, you often have to pick a region to do things online, such as reading certain local information or signing up for a regionally restricted account. For example, if you want to use the online membership service of a shopping mall in Japan, a pop-up window will say, "This service is only available within the country". If you have a local IP address, it's like having a key to everything...ipipgo's residential IP library covers more than 240 regions, just cut a random Tokyo address and you're done.
How proxy IPs really work
In a nutshell.Your computer → Proxy server → Target websiteFor example, if you're in Beijing and you're transiting through ipipgo's UK server, the site will think the visitor is from London. For example, if you are in Beijing, and you are relayed through ipipgo's UK server, the website will think that the visitor is from London. The point is the quality of the proxy server:
| typology | dominance | Applicable Scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic Residential IP | IP change at any time, not easy to be recognized | Data collection, batch registration |
| Static Residential IP | Fixed address and stability | Long-term login, account maintenance |
Now a lot of platforms have learned the fine, the IP of the server room a catch a accurate. ipipgo's 90 million + real home broadband address, use it with the local people online no difference.
Hands-on configuration tutorial
Take the browser settings as an example (don't use the system global proxy directly, it's easy to expose):
- Open the ipipgo client and select the country node
- Fill in the proxy address and port in the browser plugin
- Verify IP affiliation on whatismyipaddress.com
Focused Reminder:Remember to clear your cookies before each new IP.Some websites record the fingerprints of the device. If you do important operations, it is recommended to use it with privacy mode.
Don't step on these potholes.
I've seen people with proxies on to access domestic sites, and as a result, their internet banking winds up going straight to the bank. Remember:
- Local IP for domestic services
- Domestic service cut to local IP
- Important accountsFixed use of same city IP
ipipgo's IP localization can be accurate to the city level, for example, if you want to do the local service in Chicago, USA, don't use the node in New York, although they are all in the United States, but the details of the localization is far from being the same.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are proxy IPs legal?
A: The technology itself is fine, but don't use it to do something illegal. Regular service providers like ipipgo will review the usage scenarios.
Q: How can I tell if the IP has taken effect?
A: Visit the IP Detection page on the ipipgo website, which will display the current exit address and network type.
Q: Why can't I connect to the target website sometimes?
A: Maybe the nodes are temporarily blocked, just click "cut IP in seconds" in the ipipgo client to change the address. Their IP pool is large enough, basically there will not be a situation where all the nodes hang.
Look for these doors when choosing a service provider
A lot of proxy services on the market look cheap, but actually use all the pits. You have to recognize it:
- Qualified with real residential IPs (don't trust those cheap server room IPs)
- Support socks5/http(s) full protocols
- Ability to customize IP survival time
Veteran service providers like ipipgo have spare capacity even for cold countries, and can respond in seconds if they want to cut IPs for niche areas like Nigeria and Peru.
One final rant:IP switching is not magicThe only natural way to do this is to match your online habits. For example, if you use a U.S. IP, don't log in to Alipay at the same time, and if you use a Japanese IP, you can visit the local news sites appropriately, so that you can raise your online identity to be real and trustworthy.
