Proxy IP suddenly can't connect? Check these three points first
Don't panic if you can't connect to a proxy IP, I'll teach you an old-fashioned way--Look at the local network before checking the configurationThe first thing I've noticed is that my coworker couldn't connect to the proxy last week. Last week, my colleague could not connect to the agent, half a day of tossing and turning to find that the home WiFi owes money downtime, this thing can laugh for half a year.
Specific troubleshooting steps:
- Unplugging and replugging the network cable (great physics)
- Tested with a cell phone hotspot (bypassing router restrictions)
- Check the agent software for theport numberAny mistakes (I've seen 1080 written as 1008)
Proxy works but internet is slow as a snail? Try these three tricks
Yesterday, a customer doing live banding complained that it took 10 seconds for the product image to load after using an agent, and he was almost fired by his boss. This situation is recommended:
| Type of problem | prescription |
|---|---|
| IP node overload | Change ipipgo'sExclusive lines |
| Protocol mismatch | Replace HTTP with SOCKS5. |
| Geographical limitation | Select the node closest to the target server |
There is a cold knowledge: many software default go UDP protocol, but with TCP protocol can improve the 30% speed, in ipipgo client can be manually switched.
Emergency Rescue Program for IP Blocked
Brothers who do data collection should understand the despair of finding an IP blocked at 3am. Last month we tested it in real life, with ipipgo'sDynamic Residential IP PoolThe survival rate is 6 times higher than that of ordinary server room IPs. Three steps to save yourself after being blocked:
- Stop the current operation immediately (don't have a head iron!)
- Tap on the ipipgo backendOne-click replacement
- Setting the automatic switching interval (10-30 minutes recommended)
Here's a trick: changing the User-Agent in the request header to an older browser version can fool some of the anti-crawl systems.
A must-see guide to avoiding the pitfalls of tools for the little guy
Attention those who are just starting out! These tools will save you the hassle of an 80%:
- ipipgo comes withconnectivity testing(More accurate than the ping command)
- Fiddler packet grabbing tool (to see exactly what step the request is stuck on)
- IP blacklist scanner (avoid blocked nodes in advance)
Highlighting what many people won't useconcurrent testing:在ipipgo控制台开5个线程测速,选最低的三个节点轮着用,比单节点稳定得多。
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: How can I tell if it's a proxy problem or a website problem?
A: Turn off the proxy direct access, if normal is the proxy problem. Or use ipipgo'sNode DiagnosticsFunction, 30 seconds out of the test report.
Q: I can't open the web page even though the proxy settings are correct?
A: 80% is DNS pollution, the proxy settings in the "remote DNS" option to open. Or in the local hosts file to force the specified domain name resolution.
Q: How much IP volume is required for enterprise applications?
A: If you do e-commerce price comparison, it is recommended that you have 500+ dynamic IPs per day; 50 high-quality IPs are enough for ordinary crawlers. ipipgo's business package supportselastic capacity expansion, which can add up to 1000 IPs per second at peak traffic.
Finally, a true story: a customer with a free proxy led to database leakage, and then changed the ipipgo encrypted tunnels before they dared to continue their business. Remember.Stability is more important than freeDon't make a big deal out of a small one.
