Russian Agent: Russia Local Access

What does a Russian proxy IP really do?

Recently, there are always doing foreign trade friends asked me, in Moscow to engage in e-commerce why to use a local agent. To give an example of groundedness, just like you go to the market to buy food, the stall owner to see you are a foreign accent may be quoted at a high price, but with a local IP access to the e-commerce platform, the system will treat you as a "local customer", product inventory, prices and so on to see more accurately.

Especially with ipipgo's Russian proxy test site, I found that even the payment interface of the jump have become smooth. Before using the ordinary network payment always prompted the region does not match, after switching to the local IP is like to open the two veins, the test process in one go.

Russian IP Configuration in Three Steps

Here to teach you a dirt method, set up with the command line is much more reliable than a variety of software.Windows and Mac are actually hiding this function:

 Windows users look here
netsh winhttp set proxy 185.XXX.XXX.XXX:8000

 Mac/Linux users try this
export http_proxy="http://user:pass@185.XXX.XXX.XXX:8000"

注意要把里面的IP换成ipipgo提供的真实地址，他们家的莫斯科节点基本在80ms左右，比某些免费代理快三倍不止。

Pitfalls to avoid when choosing a proxy IP

I stepped on a minefield last year while helping a friend with data collection and learned these lessons:

Practical case: e-commerce data collection

Last week, I used ipipgo's St. Petersburg node to crawl the data of a clothing platform, and it didn't drop for 12 hours straight. The point is to setRandom request interval, don't swipe like a robot. Here's a Python example:

import requests
from time import sleep
import random

proxies = {
  'http': 'socks5://ipipgo_user:password@ru-node12.ipipgo.com:1080',
  'https': 'socks5://ipipgo_user:password@ru-node12.ipipgo.com:1080'
}

for page in range(1,100):: response = requests.get(f'{page}', proxies=proxies)
  response = requests.get(f'https://target-site.com/page={page}', proxies=proxies)
   Randomly wait 1-3 seconds before continuing
  sleep(random.uniform(1,3)) 

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: What can I do about slow proxy IPs?
A: First check whether the HTTP proxy, replaced by Socks5 protocol can be faster 20%. ipipgo background can measure the speed of the selected nodes, do not be stupid to use the default.

Q: How do I know if the agent is in effect?
A: Visit the "IP Detection" page on the ipipgo website to see the geographic location of the current export IP. If it shows Moscow, it's safe.

Q: What if I have to run multiple missions at the same time?
A: They support multiple ports concurrently, different businesses go through different ports to avoid account correlation. The specific port list can be found in the user background.

Say something from the heart.

After three years of using various proxy services, the final lock ipipgo is not unreasonable. Last year, during the Double Eleven promotion, our team opened 50 threads at the same time to collect data, people's Russian nodes froze and did not collapse. The most critical is the fast response of customer service, the last time I encountered the case of IP was blocked, two o'clock in the morning to submit a work order, ten minutes to change the new IP.

Now you can register to get a 3-day trial, newcomers are recommended to choose "dynamic residential IP" package. At first, you may find it troublesome to set up, but after familiarizing yourself with it, you will be able to figure out a lot of things about the Russian market.
