Residential Agent: Real Home IP Resources

When you're running around naked on the Internet, someone else is already wearing a cloak of invisibility

上个月有个做跨境电商的朋友跟我吐槽，他的店铺账号突然被封了。查了半天才发现，竞争对手用机器查看网站，系统误判到他头上。这事儿要我说，Surfing the web without a proxy is like running naked down the street.Especially if you are in a business that requires long-term stability. Especially for businesses that require long-term stability, a residential agent is your "cloak of invisibility".

What the heck is a residential agent anyway?

Simply put, it's an IP resource split from real home broadband. For example, the router in Zhang San's house, the optical cat in Li Si's house, the IP address generated by these devices. Unlike IPs mass-produced in server rooms, residential IPs carry the network characteristics of real users and are difficult for the system to recognize as proxies.

Take our ipipgo service as an example, the user can get the real IP in more than 30 cities, such as north, south, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. a short video operation of the customer has been tested, with the residential agent to raise the number, the account survival rate from 40% directly pulled to 85%.

Why does it have to be a residential agent?

Here's a focused comparison chart for the guys:

There's a misconception to correct:Not all agents are called residential agentsThe first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new IP address. Some service providers will disguise the IP of the server room as the IP of the residence, this kind of use three or five days will be exposed. I'd like to show you a way to detect this: open the IP detection tool on the ipipgo website and look at the ASN number. The ASN of a real residential proxy is labeled ISP (Internet Service Provider).

Hands-on with ipipgo to pick up residential proxies

Here's a chestnut in Python that can be accessed in three steps:

import requests

 第一步：去ipipgo后台复制API链接
proxy_url = "http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:8888"

 第二步：设置会话参数
session = requests.Session()
session.proxies = {"http": proxy_url, "https": proxy_url}

 第三步：正常发起请求
resp = session.get("https://你的目标网站")
print(resp.status_code)

Don't wait for your account to be blocked to find a proxy.

Recently encountered a typical case: there is a do independent site team, advertising account was blocked three times before coming to us. After using the residential agent, the new account has been running stably for two months. They now tie independent IPs to each ad group, and the cost is lower than being blocked and reopened.

A final word of advice:Don't be cheap and buy the junk agents on the marketI'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. A customer figure cheap to buy 9.9 monthly package, the results of the IP pool 80% are blacklisted. Later changed to ipipgo's business package, the blocking rate directly down to 3% below. Remember, a good proxy service can help you make money, not pure cost expenditure.
