Recently, a lot of cross-border e-commerce friends asked me, why do you have to toss the U.S. residential IP, simply put, this thing is like a "local ID card". For example, if you want to simulate the behavior of real users in the United States, you can use the IP of the server room to be recognized by the website in minutes, but the residential IP allows you to disguise yourself as an ordinary home broadband Internet access.
To give a real example, there is a do independent station friends with data center IP advertising, the results of three days two to three times be sealed. Later changed ipipgo's residential IP library, account survival rate directly rose 70%. here there is a pit to pay attention to:Don't use a shared IP for cheapNowadays, the platform detection mechanism is so sophisticated that the IP shared by many people is equivalent to "I am a robot" written on the face.
How to pick a reliable US agency service?

Focus on the request header settings, many newbies fall in this area. Don't just use the default Python request header, disguise it as a real browser:
headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36',
'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9'
}
