Macedonian proxy server setup tutorial

What exactly does a Macedonian proxy server do?

Recently, a lot of cross-border e-commerce friends asked me why I have to toss the Macedonian proxy server. To give a real example, there is a buddy to do European small language e-commerce, with German IP login store background is always triggered by the verification, change the Macedonian IP verification times directly reduced by half. Here's how it worksMacedonian IP pool is relatively coldthat the probability of being flagged by the wind control system is much smaller.

Our team has tested that using ipipgo's Macedonian static residential IP to register an overseas account, the pass rate is about 30% higher than that of IPs from popular countries. Especially for those who do advertising, running FB ad accounts with this niche IP, the account survival cycle is significantly longer.

Hands on Macedonian Agent

First of all, the hardware preparation, do not believe the Internet that you must use a local server. We have tried to use the VPS in Frankfurt, Germany to hang Macedonian IP, the speed can still run full 50M bandwidth. The specific steps are divided into three steps:

Here's a pitfall to watch out for:Don't put a GUI on a proxy server，纯命令行操作能省下30%内存消耗。我们有个客户非要装桌面环境，结果代理飙到300ms，改成最小化安装后直接降到80ms。

A Guide to Avoiding the Pit (Blood and Tears)

I stepped on a couple of mines last year while helping a client deploy:

① Incorrect time zone setting leads to cookie failure, remember to change the system time zone to Europe/Skopje.

② Fire did not open the UDP port, the video business card into PPT

③ Not changing the IP regularly, and the IP was flagged after half a month.

Here's the third point of emphasis. ipipgo's proxy management backend has aIntelligent Rotation FunctionIf you set your IP to change automatically in the early hours of the morning, you can effectively avoid being recognized. There is a data capture customer set every 6 hours to change the IP, running for 3 months without being blocked.

The 5 most common questions you ask

Q: Will the internet speed be slow with Macedonian IP?
A：实测下载速度主要看代理服务器位置，我们在法兰克福机房架设的中转节点，国内访问在180ms左右

Q: Do I need to maintain the server myself?
A: If you use ipipgo's Socks5 proxy program, they are responsible for maintaining the server, we just use it!

Q: How many threads can be opened on one IP?
A: Residential IP is recommended not to exceed 5 threads, the IP of the machine room can be opened to 20 threads. Specifically look at the business scenarios, crawlers are recommended with ipipgo's concurrency control function

Q: What should I do if my IP is blocked?
A: Submit a work order in the ipipgo user center, it will change to a new IP within 5 minutes, don't fool yourself!

Q: Can I use it to log into PayPal?
A: Depends on where the account belongs to, if it is a European account can be, but do not frequently switch the login place

The doorway to choosing a service provider

There are a lot of proxy service providers on the market, but there are not many reliable Macedonian resources. Last year, we compared the test, some businessmen said Macedonia IP, the actual landing in Bulgaria. Here we teach you two tricks to check the truth:

1. Use maxmind's GeoIP database to look up the ASN number.
2. Check the IP's whois registration information

ipipgo is a bit more realistic in this regard, with each IP carrying aDual Validation ReportI was able to download the original registration information. Their technical director told me through the bottom of the Macedonian IP are directly signed with the local ISP residential network, unlike some second-hand traffickers selling server room IP.

Lastly, a piece of cold knowledge: Macedonia's mobile network IP is especially suitable for APP testing because there are 3 local mobile operators sharing IP segments, which is much more difficult to recognize than fixed broadband. Using ipipgo's Macedonian mobile traffic pack for overseas APP testing can increase the success rate by about 40%.
