Residential Agency Services | 10 Million Pure Residential IP Resource Library

What practical problems do residential agents actually solve?

When many people first hear about residential proxies, a question mark comes up: what's the difference between this thing and the server IP I usually use? Take a real scenario you understand - for example, you registered 20 seller accounts in an e-commerce platform, the results of the next day all blocked. Why? Because the platform detected that you are using the IP of the server room, a look is not a real person to operate.

That's when it's time toResidential AgentsIt's out of the way. This kind of IP and our home broadband dial-up to get the IP is exactly the same, the platform simply can not distinguish between a real person or program in operation. Last year, a cross-border e-commerce friends, with ordinary agents every day was blocked 3-5 accounts, changed to ipipgo residential agent, continuous operation of 28 days zero blocking records.

What are the three most important things to look for in a residential agent?

There are a plethora of residential agent service providers on the market, but not many of them are truly reliable. Based on our experience of testing more than 20 service providers, these three indicators must be dead on:

1. IP purityThe IP pool of ipipgo is a real-time IP pool, and the IP pool of ipipgo is a real-time IP pool. Teach you a test method - register a new mailbox, log in with the proxy IP to check the login record, if it shows "multiple abnormal logins", the IP is 80% problematic. ipipgo's IP pool are real-time updates of the original residential IP, this point is that they can check the activation time of each IP on their official website. The official website can check the activation time of each IP.

2. Geographic accuracyDon't believe those advertisements that claim to "cover 200 countries", many of them are virtual positioning. There is a local life service customer, need to accurate to the city administrative district IP, finally only ipipgo can do street level positioning.

3. Connection StabilityThe first thing to note here is that there is a pitfall - the choice of dynamic and static IPs. The need for a long time to hang up the selection of static (such as social media to raise the number), the need for high-frequency switching of the selection of dynamic (such as price crawlers). ipipgo these two types of IP can be switched at any time, do not have to re-buy the package.

Hands-On Residential Agent Configuration

Here's an example of a Python crawler, and a couple of places where newbies tend to fall head over heels. Many tutorials teach people to use the requests library with proxies, but that is easily detected by websites. The correct approach is to combine Selenium + residential proxy:

from selenium import webdriver

proxy = "123.123.123.123:8888" This is the proxy provided by ipipgo.
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server=http://{proxy}')

 The key here is to add user behavior simulation
chrome_options.add_argument("user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36...")
chrome_options.add_argument("--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=chrome_options)

Caution! Many sites will detect WebDriver fingerprinting, remember to turn it on in the ipipgo backend!Browser Fingerprint DisguiseThe function. Last week to help customers debugging, did not open this function when the anti-climbing rate of 37%, after opening the direct drop to 5% below.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Why are residential agents more expensive than server room agents?
A: It's like the difference between renting a house and staying in a hotel, residential IP are real home broadband, naturally cost more. But ipipgo recently came out of the traffic sharing package, 10 people group can be cheaper about 40%.

Q: What should I do if my IP is tagged?
A: In the backend of ipipgo there is aIP Health DetectionThe function will show which IPs are blacklisted in real time. It is recommended to set up an automatic change policy, such as changing IPs every 50 requests completed.

Q: How do I choose if I need multiple IPs at the same time?
A: Don't buy one of those packaged packages! According to the business needs to choose the key countries. For example, to do cross-border e-commerce, the U.S. IP choose 60%, Germany 20%, Japan 20% so that the ratio. ipipgo support custom allocation of traffic by country, how much to use how much is not wasted.

One last industry secret: some merchants will sell a mix of residential and server room proxies. Here's how you can verify this - go to the website whatleaks.com and seeIP TypeThat column shows whether it is Residential or not. we have tested it in comparison, and ipipgo's IP purity can really hit the mark, with all 20 test IPs showing up as real residential networks.
