Annual Review of Australian Agency Service Providers

First, how rolled up is the Australian proxy IP market?

In the last two years, friends who do data capture in Australia have been complaining that it is harder to get a stable proxy IP than to get a driver's license. Sydney, an e-commerce company's technical director nagged me, said they changed three service providers last year, either the IP survival time is too short, or encountered CAPTCHA serial kill. This situation has given rise to a number of "monthly" proxy service providers, under the banner of low prices to cut leeks, people who have used it understand how pitiful.

There are two types of mainstream play on the market now:Residential IP Poolrespond in singingServer room IP rotation. The former is suitable for scenarios that need to simulate the operation of real people, such as social media account management; the latter is more suitable for data collection that requires massive concurrency. However, there is a pitfall to be aware of, certain service providers will sell data center IPs disguised as residential IPs, this depends on the conscience of the service provider.

II. Measuring the 5 key indicators

We took a side-by-side comparison of three local Melbourne + two overseas providers and focused on measuring these hard metrics:

There is a cold knowledge: many service providers boast of the number of IP is actually watered down, the blocked zombie IP is also counted. The actual test found ipipgoEffective IP rateIt can reach 82%, which is more than double the industry average. Their family has a self-built server room in Adelaide, and the IP segments are all Telstra and Optus premium resources, this is really rare.

Third, the white guide to avoid the pit

Those just starting out are most likely to step on these three mines:

1. buy a shared IP pool on the cheap - Look at the unit price is low, the actual 10 people use at the same time, the probability of sealing directly pull full

2. Not looking at IP attribution details - Some service providers are selling New Zealand IPs in Australian packages.

3. Ignoring protocol compatibility - To do browser automation must support socks5, to do APP need http proxy

There is a tricky way to do this: first you need a test account to run for two days. Legitimate service providers like ipipgo will give a 24 hour trial, don't believe those who want to pre-charge.

Fourth, the actual scene with the program

Based on the 200+ client cases we've taken on, we've put together these golden combinations:

▎ Cross-border e-commerce anti-association: dynamic authentication service with residential IP + fingerprint browser + ipipgo
▎ Local Life Data Collection: Server Room IP + Distributed Crawler + Request Interval Randomization
▎ Ad delivery test: 4G mobile IP + device location simulation + UA masquerade
Here are the highlightsDynamic authentication servicesMany friends who do independent station planted in the payment wind control. ipipgo this function will automatically match the current IP time zone, language environment, even DNS leaks have been dealt with, the actual test of PayPal wind control of the success rate of the improvement of 60% or more.

V. QA First Aid Kit

Q: Why does my agent timeout when I use it?
A: Ninety percent of the IP quality is not good, first check the error code in the response log. If 407/503 occurs frequently, it is recommended to change ipipgo's business package, they have a smart routing function will automatically avoid the problem nodes.

Q: What should I do if I need to manage IPs from multiple regions at the same time?
A: directly find customer service to open multi-location permissions, pay attention to see if the service provider has a regional labeling function. ipipgo background can be tagged to different IP pools, with the API call is very trouble-free.

Q：How to solve the problem when encountering IP blocking of target websites?
A: three steps: 1) check the request header whether to expose the proxy characteristics 2) switch IP type (such as from the server room for residential) 3) on the ipipgo request camouflage plug-ins, which can automatically generate a legitimate request track

One last industry secret: many service providers will double-sell IP to competing companies, leading to business conflicts. ipipgo'sIP Exclusive ModelAlthough it is more expensive, but it can guarantee IP exclusivity, suitable for sensitive business old iron. Recently, they are celebrating their anniversary, report "aussie2024″ can be 30% off, if you need to hurry to go.
