ip trial: 24 hours free proxy IP trial channel and real latency test report

When proxy IP meets latency testing: a guide to avoiding pitfalls that even a beginner can understand

Recently, I have been asked by several cross-border e-commerce companies, "Why do I use the proxy IP always fall off?" I've been asked by several cross-border e-commerce merchants recently, "Why does my proxy IP always drop out?" and "What indicators should I look at to measure latency?" Today we will take ipipgo's 24-hour trial channel as an example, hand in hand to teach you how to choose a reliable proxy IP.

Why does your proxy IP always lag?

Many people think that buying a proxy IP can be all right, but the result is to use the card into the PPT. here is a misunderstanding to be broken:IP survival time and network latency are two different things. It's like when you buy a new car (IP), but the roads are bad (network quality), and you can't drive it as fast as usual.

One of the features of ipipgo's residential IP pool is that their IPs are pulled from real home broadband. To put it this way, it's like your neighbor's WiFi, which naturally has a "human touch" and is less likely to be blocked by target websites as bots. However, the actual speed of each IP depends on the local network infrastructure.

The right way to open the free trial channel

In the upper right corner of the official website of ipipgo there is a "woolgathering" entrance (officially called the trial channel), you need to register your cell phone number. Here is the key point:Each trial will give 5 IPs from different regions, it is recommended to pick the three areas you need most for your business and randomize the remaining two so that you can measure the true level.

Test found a tip: 9:00 in the morning to update the IP pool to go to the trial, get the IP quality is better. Because at this time many European and American users have just woken up, home broadband utilization is low, the network is smoother.

An earthy manipulation of delay testing

Don't be fooled by the jargon, and I'll teach you two grounding tests:

1. Sandwich test method:

Ping three times in a row and take the middle value. For example, test a US IP:

The reasonable latency for this IP should be around 205ms, the first time may be due to an error in routing initialization.

2. Web page loaded for visual observation:

When you open a target website with a proxy IP, if you can load a picture within three seconds, you will pass the test. For example, when testing Japanese IPs, if you can see Hatsune Miku's hair when you load the anime website, the IP will be stable.

The real test report is open to the public

Take ipipgo three typical areas and do real world testing (data is from yesterday's peak test):

See what I mean?Physical distance is not the only factor, Japan is close to us, but ipipgo uses residential IPs from small local carriers in Germany, and the speeds are rather faster than commercial IPs in some of the big cities.

QA time: the newbie must see five consecutive questions

Q: Can I use the trial IP for serious business?
A: ipipgo's trial IP and official channel quality is the same, but we recommend that the business volume of the old iron or go to the official channel, the trial IP will be forced to change every 6 hours.

Q: Does low latency mean good IP quality?
A: Not necessarily! It remains to be seenIP puritySome low latency IPs may be rotated by multiple users. Some low latency IPs may be rotated by multiple users and easily blocked. ipipgo's residential IPs are exclusive channels, this is written in their technical whitepaper.

Q：Why is it fast in the test but laggy in the official use?
A: You may have hit a late network peak. It is recommended to set up the network in9-11 a.m. local timeDo the test, this time period best reflects the network speed in real business scenarios.

Q: How can I tell if it's a true residential IP?

A: In ipipgo's control panel, there is an "IP Traceability" function, which can find out the ASN number of the IP. The ASN for residential IPs is usually the local telecom operator, while commercial IPs show the data center number.
