What the hell is a reverse purity proxy?
Many people are confused when they first hear the term "Reverse Pure Proxy". Simply put, it's likeLet the server come to youThe way to play. Ordinary proxy is that you take the initiative to connect to the target website, while the reverse proxy is that the target website takes the initiative to send data back to the port you specify. For example, when you open a live audience directly connected to your server is prone to lag, using a reverse proxy will allow the data to go through an intermediate server before distribution, both stable and fast.
ipipgo's Reverse Pure Proxy has a unique trick up its sleeve:90 Million+ Family Home IP PoolEach IP has a real home network "ID". When others are still using the IP of the server room, we are directly on the residential IP, the target website can not tell whether it is a real person or a proxy request.
How do API interfaces play with reverse proxies?
Now handily, I'll show you how to use ipipgo's API to mess with reverse proxies. Focus on these three parameters:
| parameter name | corresponds English -ity, -ism, -ization | example value |
|---|---|---|
| target_port | Your business server port | 8080 |
| protocol | HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 support | https |
| ip_type | Dynamic/static residential IP | dynamic |
Knock on the door and pay attention:Dynamic IP for frequent operation scenariosFor example, ticket snatching software requires constant IP changes;Static IP for long connection servicesFor example, the game server should be kept stable without dropping. ipipgo supports both, and can be switched at any time by changing a parameter in the API.
Guide to Avoiding the Pit: Troubleshooting When Building
Seen too many people fall into these pits:
1. Nginx configuration written backwardsThe normal proxy is client→proxy→server, and the reverse proxy is server→proxy→client. The location block in the configuration file should add the proxy_pass parameter to point to the local port.
2. IP whitelisting omission: ipipgo's API server IPs must be added to the fire whitelist, otherwise requests are blocked directly. The list of IPs can be found in Console → Developer Documentation.
3. chain of certificates: When using the HTTPS protocol, remember to chain ipipgo's CA certificate with the business server certificate. Don't copy the online tutorials directly, there are instructions on the order of loading each chain of certificates
Life-saving tips for real-life scenarios
Last week, a cross-border e-commerce friend encountered a problem: his price comparison system is always blocked by the target site IP. change into ipipgo reverse proxy, after using this trick:
IP rotation + request delay randomization: Add X-IP-Rotation=random parameter in the API request header to allow the system to automatically randomly select from a pool of 240 country IPs. At the same time, set the interval between each request to fluctuate randomly between 1.5-3 seconds, completely simulating the rhythm of real human operation.
Now his system has been running stably for 30 days, and the capture success rate has soared from 47% to 98%.Residential IP + full protocol supportThe combination of the target site's anti-crawl strategy is completely ineffective.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: What should I do if the reverse proxy IP suddenly fails to connect?
A: First check three things: 1) whether the port number returned by the API is correct 2) whether the local fire prevention is released 3) whether the business server is bound to the 0.0.0.0 address
Q: The data transfer speed is fast and slow?
A: eighty percent is the use of dynamic IP led to change into a static residential IP immediately stabilized. ipipgo static IP are exclusive bandwidth, unlike some service providers to distribute bandwidth to multiple users.
Q: Can I bind my own domain name?
A: Of course you can! Upload SSL certificate in the console-advanced settings, and point the CNAME record to the resolution address provided by ipipgo. There is a tip: it is recommended to use a third-level domain name, such as proxy.yourdomain.com, does not affect the business of the main site!
In the end, there are just three things to do when engaging a reverse proxy:Choose the right service provider + understand the API documentation + do a good job of monitoring anomaliesThe ipipgo's global residential IP resources and full protocol support can basically cover 99% business scenarios. The next time you encounter proxy-related problems, do not rush to Google, first go to the console to flip through the document, there may be ready-made solutions.
