American home standalone ip: real American residential ip support Netflix/HBO unlock test

Why do you need an American Family IP?

Many people find that region restriction alerts always pop up when watching certain shows, such as the recent new season of Stranger Things that just came on, and it won't load in HD quality with a regular proxy. There's a misconception here:Not all proxy IPs can make platforms think they are live usersPlatforms like Netflix detect IP types, server room IPs or data center IPs in a snap, while real home broadband IPs are like your next-door neighbor's network, and won't trigger a windcheck at all.

Let's take a real-life scenario: last year, an international student used a public proxy to watch HBO, and halfway through the program, his account was locked out, and the customer service replied, "Unusual network login detected". This is a typical consequence of using a non-residential IP. To avoid this situation.Must use the IP address actually used by the local household, as naturally as if you were using WiFi in your own living room.

How to Pick the Right Residential IP?Remember the 3 Pitfalls

Many of the service providers on the market that claim to be residential IPs are actually harboring these shenanigans:

1. lit. hang a sheep's head while selling dog meatThe IP address of the server room is disguised as a residential IP address, which works at first, but then fails after three days. A user complained to us that he bought a "US residential IP" to watch Disney+, but when he watched "The Mandalorian", the picture suddenly became fuzzy, and the next day, his IP was directly blacklisted!

2. shared IP poolDozens of people use the same IP, the platform sees the same address at the same time logging in multiple devices, and directly determine the account abnormality. Last week, there was a cross-border e-commerce customer, because the IP was used by more than one person, resulting in the store audit did not pass!

3. (math.) positional drift: It shows up in Los Angeles when it's actually in Miami, and when you look at the local news you realize that the weather forecast is all wrong. We tested a service provider where 3 out of 10 IPs had a location error of more than 200 kilometers.

Solutions for ipipgo

Our team spent 3 years building a network of real residential IPs, to name a few features you'll never find anywhere else:

True Home Networking EnvironmentEach IP address corresponds to a specific street address, such as Xfinity Broadband in an apartment building in Brooklyn, New York. One of our clients who does live broadcasts in China told us that after using our IPs, viewers asked him if he had moved back to the U.S., because even the local weather commercials matched perfectly!

Exclusive IP rotation mechanism: It's not a simple timed change, but an intelligent switch based on your usage scenario. For example, when catching up with the drama "Game of Thrones", the system will keep the same IP until the end of the episode; automatically matching the most suitable node when brushing TikTok short videos

Carrier-grade compatibilitySupport for all major broadband providers from Comcast to Verizon, to verify, you can open the fast.com speed test page, you will see the ISP name is shown as the real home carrier (here to remind, do not use this speed test to watch movies, traffic will be counted into the package)

Hands-on setup tutorial

Take the Android phone + SmartDNS mode as an example (don't worry, just follow along):

1. Open the ipipgo client and find the category "American Homes".
2. Check the "Streaming Optimization" tab (this is our exclusive filter)
3. Tap the icon after the IP address to bring up specific parameters
4. change the MTU value from 1500 to 1450 (to resolve compatibility issues with some routers)
5. click on a random show in the Netflix App and quickly cut back to ipipgo when the loading icon appears
6. When you see a green tick in the status bar, you're done.

Focused attention:Never test your speed right after you set it up.The first 10 minutes of normal use will allow the IP to "settle" into the local network environment. A common misconception is that users always like to switch nodes repeatedly, in fact, just like a new cell phone number to maintain a few days to stabilize, IP also needs to adapt to the period.

Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit

Q: The IP shows that it's in California but it's watching a local New York station?
A: 80% is DNS leakage, in ipipgo advanced settings to open the "DNS lock" function, and then restart the router (unplugged and wait 30 seconds before plugging)

Q: What should I do if I watch 4K video lagging?
A: Don't turn on the global proxy! Add in the triage rules that video sites go proxy, others go direct. If it's still stuck, change the encryption from AES-256 to Chacha20 (on the third page of the stack settings)

Q: Does logging into HBO and Hulu at the same time conflict?
A: It is recommended to bind different devices, such as HBO with a TV box and Hulu with a cell phone. ipipgo supports multiple devices online at the same time, but it is recommended to separate different platforms from the same service provider.

Finally, a piece of cold knowledge: some old dramas have more restrictive copyrights than new dramas, for example, "Old Friends" can only be watched in certain regions if it's an old IP from a specific era. In this case, you can sift through the "Classic IP Library" in ipipgo, which is a collection of real residential IPs that existed in 1994, and it works wonders in unlocking nostalgic episodes.
