What does a German proxy server actually do?
Recently, a lot of cross-border e-commerce friends asked me, said in the European Union to do business always encountered a slow loading website, payment interface pumping, logistics data can not match these things. In fact, this time to get a German proxy server can be solved, especially like ipipgo this kind of service providers specializing in compliance line.
To cite a real case, there is a do auto parts export old brother, with the ordinary network always be German e-commerce platform as a robot seal. Later, he changed the residential agent of ipipgo, and his account was immediately as stable as an old dog. The key here isReal Local IPIt can make the target website feel that you are the normal German user, unlike the server room IP which is easy to be targeted by the wind control.
The Three Pitfalls of Choosing a German Agent
Agent service providers on the market are a mixed bag, you have to pay attention to these points when you pick:
| pothole | correct posture |
|---|---|
| Claims of unlimited traffic | Look at the actual bandwidth limit (ipipgo explicitly does not play games) |
| IP purity | To be able to check IP history (ipipgo backend can check each IP reputation score) |
| Protocol Support | Must support socks5 and https dual protocol (this is something that many small manufacturers cut corners on) |
ipipgo Hands-on Configuration Guide
Take Chrome as an example and follow the steps below:
1. Login to ipipgo and select "German Residential Agent" package.
2. Generate API interface keys in the user center
3. Download a dedicated client (don't use third-party software)
4. Paste the key into the authentication box and select the Frankfurt node.
5. Open whatsmyip.com to verify the IP address.
The fourth step is the one that many newbies get stuck on. If the connection fails, first check whether the timestamp is not synchronized (the German time zone is UTC+1), and then try to change the access port. ipipgo's technical customer service response is quite fast, the last time I raised a work order at 3:00 a.m. actually returned in seconds.
