Mobile 4G Agent Device Management Program

Three Pain Points in Mobile 4G Agent Device Management

Anyone who has worked on a mobile agent device knows that the biggest headache is theIP blocked, unstable traffic, too many devices to manageThese three problems. For example, when doing data collection, it is often encountered that the IP which is still good in the morning is blocked in the afternoon, or dozens of devices take turns to fall off the line, and at this time it is necessary to check the problem everywhere like a firefighter.

I've seen the most exaggerated case, there is a local life service team, using ordinary proxy solution to manage 30 devices, the result is to spend 3 hours a day to manually change the IP, then they switched to ipipgo's 4G proxy solution, and now the device automatically switches IP.The probability of being blocked went straight down by 70%Maintenance time has also been reduced to 20 minutes per day.

Dynamic IP pools are the way to go

The key to solving the problem of IP blocking is toLet IP flow like living waterThe 4G Proxy solution from ipipgo is particularly useful. Ordinary proxies with fixed IP pools are like taking the same glass of water and giving it to everyone, sooner or later something is going to go wrong. ipipgo's 4G proxy solution has two particularly useful points:

1. Each piece of equipmentAutomatic IP change 3-5 times per hourIt's like putting a cloak on the device.
2. Real-time IP switching in 200+ cities across the country, for example, collecting data with Beijing IP in the morning and automatically cutting to Hangzhou in the afternoon.

Equipment Grouping Management Tips

The biggest fear when managing a large number of devices isone-pot management. A friend who does e-commerce price comparison, dividing 50 devices into 3 groups works especially well:

- Comparison group: switching IPs every 15 minutes using high-frequency switching mode
- Inventory monitoring group: use stable mode, fixed quality IPs
- Picture acquisition team: take the dedicated high-traffic lane

Setting up a grouping strategy in the ipipgo backend is particularly easy, just like setting an alarm for your cell phone. Each group can be set individually:
- IP switching frequency
- traffic quota
- Attribution preference
- Black and white list rules

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Will using a proxy IP slow down my internet speed?
A: It depends on the quality of the line of the proxy service provider, ipipgo's 4G proxy measured download speed can reach 20-50Mbps, faster than home WiFi. But be careful not to turn on the power saving mode, the device signal strength to maintain more than 3 grid.

Q: Do I have to buy many packages to manage multiple devices?
A: ipipgo's group account function is very practical, a master account can open 20 sub-accounts, traffic pool shared by all devices. For example, if you buy 100G of traffic, 50 devices can be flexibly allocated, and whichever device is overused will automatically limit the speed.

Q: What should I do if my IP is suddenly blocked?
A: First check whether to trigger the anti-climbing mechanism, ipipgo background has aEmergency Relief Mode, point and click:
1. Disconnect all current connections
2. Automatic replacement of equipment identifiers
3. Switching alternate IP pools
The whole process can be resumed in about 3 minutes, which is much faster than doing it manually.

Practical experience sharing

Finally, a real case: a hotel chain used ordinary agents to manage the room pricing system, and as a result, the IP was always blocked by the booking platform. Later they used ipipgo to do three things:
1. Assign each outlet an exclusive IP segment
2. Setting up automatic refresh of all IPs at 2:00 a.m.
3. Enabling alerts on traffic fluctuations
Now their system has been running stably for 9 months, and the price update success rate stays above 98%.

In fact, the mobile agent device management is not much deep technology, the key is to choose the right tool. ipipgo the most powerful part of this program is theEncapsulates complex technology into simple buttonsEven if you don't know how to code, you can get started quickly. We recommend that you first use the free trial version to practice, familiar with the formal project.
