Take it easy! Do free agents really smell that good?
Suddenly get stuck when you brush the web, IP is blocked when you test the program... At this time, you may have searched those websites which are called "Free Proxy List Complete". These platforms pack hundreds of IPs into a txt document, which looks like a pie in the sky. But old drivers who have used them know that eight out of ten of these IPs can't be connected, and the ones that are not easy to connect may be even slower than a snail.
The Three Pits of Open Proxy Stations
These aggregator stations love to play these three tricks:Outdated information as a baby, poor quality IP to make up the number, hidden risks without warning. Last week I live-tested a popular proxy site and out of 200 IPs downloaded:
| typology | quantities | (med.) recovery rate |
|---|---|---|
| timeout IP | 147 | 0% |
| Turtle IP | 38 | Average response > 5 seconds |
| Available IPs | 15 | There are only 2 that actually last more than 3 days |
A must-see agent selection guide for beginners
Don't be crippled by free gimmicks! Focus on these three points if you're serious about using an agent:
① Survival time depends on the number of hours(Don't believe the label "permanent")
② Response speed measurement three times(Easiest to use the ping command)
③The degree of anonymity should be tested(Recommended online testing tool from ipipgo)
Why do the pros use ipipgo?
Do crawl friends gave me a bottom: their team tried more than twenty proxy services, and finally locked ipipgo because of these points:
- IP pools are automatically updated every hour, unlike free proxies that are like opening a blind box
- Unique intelligent routing technology, faster than peers 40% more than
- 7 × 24 hours real customer service, three o'clock in the middle of the night can be a second back to the work order
Last week to help a friend's company to do data collection, with ipipgo's residential agent, 10 hours to grab 500,000 pieces of data was not blocked, which to change the free agent early collapse.
QA time: what you might want to ask
Q: Are free agents really worthless?
A: Temporary test can be used, serious projects do not use! Previously, a user used a free proxy, and as a result, his account password was intercepted, and he lost all his pants.
Q: Do I choose a dynamic IP or a static IP?
A: ordinary users choose dynamic (ipipgo rotation package), do e-commerce multi-account with static (remember to buy pure IP package).
Q: What if ipipgo runs away?
A: They have been established for 6 years and just recently got the B round of financing, which is much more reliable than some small workshops. And they support paying by the day, so they are not afraid of being trapped at all.
