I. IP survival cycle: don't be trapped in the pit of "can't survive more than three days".
What's the worst thing about proxy IPs? Today just used, the next day will be invalid. Many people think that the word "static" means permanent, but the result is like opening a blind box. The real reliable static residential IP.The survival cycle must last at least three months.The core IP pool can be kept continuously available for more than half a year by professional service providers like ipipgo.
There is a way to test the survival rate: Hang the IP to the common business, and ping three times a day at regular intervals. If there are more than two disconnections in three consecutive days, quickly find a service provider to replace the goods. Here insert a cold knowledge - some platforms will intentionally assign new users to the high-quality IP pool, and so on the renewal of the fee will be replaced by "inferior", ipipgo is real!universal resource poolInstead, regular customers enjoy priority maintenance.
II. Geographic coverage: don't believe the "global" nonsense
I always see advertisements saying that they cover 200+ countries and regions, but when you really want to use them, 8 out of 10 are server room IPs. the geographic characteristics of true residential IPs are very obvious:Carriers must correspond to local residential broadband companiesI'm not sure if you're going to be able to do that. For example, the US IP has to be Comcast, AT&T, and if it shows any DataCenter, just pass.
Here's how to show you the door: log into the ipipgo backend to check the IP details, focusing on the ASN number. The ASNs of residential IPs are all ISPs (Internet Service Providers), while the ASNs of data center IPs start with DC or IDC. The table comparison is more intuitive:
| typology | Operator Characteristics | Typical ASN |
|---|---|---|
| True Residential IP | Charter/Verizon, etc. | ASN11427/ASN7018 |
| Fake residential IP | Amazon/DigitalOcean | ASN16509/ASN14061 |
III. Compatibility of agreements: beware the trap of "incompatibility"
I have seen the most pitiful thing: spend a lot of money to buy the IP, but the result of their own business system does not recognize. Here's one.The Four Dos and Three Don'ts Principle: To support SOCKS5/HTTPs base protocol, to be able to customize the request header, to allow concurrent multi-threading, to be compatible with their own business systems; do not force the binding of the device, do not limit the amount of traffic, do not suddenly switch ports.
Take ipipgo for example, his family has aProtocol Compatibility Test ToolEspecially useful. Input your business type, automatically detect IP adaptability. Previously, a customer doing data collection, is relying on this feature to find a competitor IP does not support User-Agent camouflage, timely stop loss to the genuine.
Fourth, after-sales service: don't be a shirker!
Proxy IP this business is the most test of the after-sales, the three gold standard to remember:7×24 hour response, automatic spare tire IP switching, technicians really know what they are doingI've seen too many customers who just copy and paste the solution and play dead. Seen too much customer service that just copies and pastes solutions and plays dead when it comes to real problems.
Here's an insider's view of the industry: many service providers' "instant response" is actually a robot on duty, but ipipgo's operation and maintenance team is a real one!Three shifts of real people on dutyThe last time there is a cross-border e-commerce friends, IP suddenly wind control during the promotion, three o'clock in the morning to submit a work order. Last time there is a cross-border e-commerce friends, the IP during the promotion was suddenly wind control, three o'clock in the morning to submit a work order, ten minutes on the technical brother remote troubleshooting, and finally found that the target site updated the anti-climbing strategy, on-site to teach him how to adjust the frequency of requests.
QA First Aid Kit
Q: What should I do if my IP suddenly fails?
A: First check the local network, and then use ipipgo's IP health check tool. If it is confirmed that the IP problem, the background "one key replacement" function can be done in three minutes, without waiting for manual review.
Q: How can I prevent my IP from being tagged?
A: Focus on the service provider'sIP Rotation Mechanismipipgo is an intelligent dynamic + static hybrid pool that automatically allocates low utilization IPs during peak business hours, making it three times safer than a purely static pool.
Q: What if I need IPs from multiple locations at the same time?
A: Just go with ipipgo'sCity-level positioning packages, which can be accurate to the granularity of cities like Chicago and Manchester, ten times finer than national-level localization.
In the end, selecting a static home IP is similar to looking for a partner, the surface looks similar, and only in life do we know who is reliable. Remember these hard indicators, you are guaranteed to step into 80% fewer pits. The next time someone brags to you about how great his IP is, just dump this guide directly, and we'll see if it's a mule or a horse.
