SOCKS5 proxy: SK5 protocol multi-scenario application and performance comparison test

Who uses SOCKS5 these days? Watch these 3 scenarios!

Recently, a cross-border e-commerce friend complained to me that he had changed three proxy services or always be recognized by the target site. I asked him to change the protocol from HTTP to SOCKS5, the result is that the next day called to invite me to dinner - this thing is really not a mystery. Today, let's talk about this almost 30 years old protocol, in the end, what new tricks can play in the current situation.

I. The three axes of the SK5 agreement

Let's start with a hard lesson for newbies: the SOCKS5 thing is like auniversal socketSensei, no matter you want to transfer files, swipe the web page or engage in live broadcasting, it can give you a whole lot of clarity. Focus on three real uses:

1. Data acquisition without breaks
What's the biggest fear of being a crawler? It's not the wrong code, it's the sudden and violent death of IP! Using ipipgo's dynamic residential IP with SK5 protocol is equivalent to equipping your crawlers withAutomatic Face Changing MaskThe first time I saw it, I was able to get it to work. Last week, the actual test of an e-commerce platform, continuous collection of 8 hours without dropping, more than three times more than the survival time with HTTP proxy.

2. Game acceleration without lag
Don't think that gas pedals are all high-flying black technology, the bottom is still not the SK5 stuff. Especially need UDP transmission shooting game, with ipipgo static residential IP to establish an exclusive channel, the delay can be pressed to below 50ms. Last week, I took my sister to eat chicken and tested it, and the speed of opening the mirror was so fast that it was like opening a physical plug-in.

3. Bulk account numbering is stable
Those who do social operation know this kind of pain the most - just raised the number said to be closed. Using SK5 protocol to go to different areas of the residential IP, each account has a real "birthplace". A friend who does TikTok uses ipipgo's UK static IP to raise matrix numbers, and the blocking rate dropped from 37% to 5% in three months.

Second, the actual test data snapped in the face

Empty talk is no proof, let's on the hard goods. Take the market common three agent way to do a comparison test:

The test environment is a US node request for the same device in the same time slot. See how it works? The SK5 connection for the residential IP is likePut a turbo on the network., especially for those who do live push streaming, you can cut out half of the buffer ring with this program.

III. Guide to avoiding potholes (a must for novices)

Don't rush to order when you see this, but remember these three bloody lessons first:

1. Dynamic IP is not a panacea - to do payment interface testing such as the need to fix the identity of the scene, or have to use a static IP
2. Don't be greedy to buy a niche region IP - some service providers to the African IP, the actual landing may be in the Hong Kong server room!
3. Authentication method to choose the right - ipipgo's dual authentication mode is much more secure than single password authentication, can prevent 99% port scanning

IV. Frequently Asked Questions Dislike Face Ask

Q: What is the difference between SK5 and HTTP proxy?
A: Simply put, it's the difference between a master key and an access card. http can only go to web traffic, SK5 can even take games and videos with it.

Q: Why are residential IPs more expensive than server room IPs?
A: It's like the difference between renting a B&B and staying at an express hotel. The residential IPs are real home broadband, and the target sites can't tell if they're real people or proxies.

Q: Is ipipgo's IP pool reliable?
A: Let's put it this way, the frequency of IP updates in their house is faster than Netflix changing clothes. The last time I did an Amazon review, I didn't encounter any duplicate IPs for 30 days in a row, which is more punctual than my home water bill.

In the end, choosing an agent service is just like finding a partner, the right one is more important than the expensive one. ipipgo, the old driver, is playing SK5 out of the flower, especially the one of them.Intelligent protocol switchingThis feature automatically matches the optimal connection method. Interested in their own official website to pull the document, anyway, there is a trial period, the cost of trial and error is a little time.
