Residential agent vs. traditional agent anonymity test report

Proxy IP is your cloak of invisibility when you run naked on the Internet.

Recently, I helped a friend to test an interesting thing: using different agents to access the site, to see if people can find out your real information. The result is quite interesting, the residential agent is like wearing a cloak of invisibility, the traditional agent is simply running naked.

Test Site Direct

We did a simple and crude comparison experiment:

Here's the point:The server IP segments of traditional proxies have long been documented by major platformsIt's like the security guards at the entrance of a nightclub, who will not let you in if you look familiar. Residential agents use real home networks, and the platform can't tell if you're a real person or an agent.

Do-it-yourself anonymity test

Teach you a dirt-cheap way to test agent quality:

1. Open ipipgo's residential proxy backend and select a US node.
2. Visiting whatismyipaddress.com such testing sites
3. Focus on these three items:
- IP type shows whether it is residential (Residential) or not
- Presence of X-Forwarded-For headers
- Does the time zone match the IP location

When tested with ipipgo's residential proxy, theIP type is shown as Home BroadbandThe request header is as clean as if you just took a shower, and the automatic time zone adaptation is especially critical. Many poor quality agents fall prey to time zone exposure, like wearing sunglasses into a bank and forgetting to take off your license plate.

Why do you always recommend ipipgo?

This residential agent has two killer features:
1. Real Family Network ResourcesIt's not one of those engine room conversions.
2. Dynamic Fingerprint ObfuscationIf the browser fingerprints are generated for each connection, the browser fingerprints will be generated for each connection.

To cite a chestnut, before to help customers do e-commerce price comparison, with the traditional agent just climbed half an hour on the seal. After switching to ipipgo, it collected data for three consecutive days and eight hours a day, and the system froze and found no abnormality. This effect is like playing magic under the surveillance camera, the platform can not catch the handle.
