Philippines Agency: South East Asia Agency Services

What's the point of a Philippine agent anyway?

Recently, some of my friends who are doing business in Southeast Asia asked me why their apps are always lagging in the Philippines. In fact, it has nothing to do with the local network environment. For example, if you develop a system in China and connect it directly to a server in the Philippines, without a "local wizard" in the middle, how can the data not be slowed down if it goes half way around the world? At this time, the Philippine proxy is like a local operator, to help you transfer the request directly to the target server.

Last year, there was a cross-border e-commerce customer who uploaded product images on an ordinary line, and it took half an hour for 10 images to be uploaded. After switching to ipipgo's static IP in the Philippines.Upload speeds directly tripledThe key to this is that it doesn't trigger the platform's risk control mechanism. That's the advantage of a local proxy - it makes the server feel like you're operating out of your Manila office.

In which cases is it necessary to use a Philippine agent?

Here are a few real-life scenarios:
1. Do Lazada, Shopee sellers to batch price change, the platform found off-site login will be blocked!
2. Development of a social app for Filipino maids that requires simulation of local 4G network testing
3. Travel agencies to engage in airfare comparison, do not change the IP to find out the price of the ripoffs
4. For game rechargers, recharge channels are restricted to local Philippine cards.

Especially do TikTok live with goods, last week there is a customer spit, with Hong Kong node open broadcast no popularity at all. After switching to ipipgo's mobile IP, more than 2,000 real viewers suddenly flooded into the live broadcast room. Why? Because the platform algorithm will give local traffic more recommendations.

How to pick a reliable Philippine agent?

There are three types of agents on the market, to give you a solid comparison table:

Highly recommend ipipgo's if it's a long term business!Static Residential IPThe actual fact is that they have their very own server room in the Philippines. They have their own server room in the Philippines, unlike others who resell second-hand IPs.A friend who does payment interface has tested it, and it stays online for 30 consecutive days without dropping out, with a success rate of 98.7% is really good.

Hands-on with ipipgo Proxy

Take the Python crawler as an example, three steps to get the configuration done:

import requests

 Proxy information from the ipipgo backend
proxy = {
    'http': 'http://用户名:密码@ph.proxy.ipipgo.com:31028',
    'https': 'http://用户名:密码@ph.proxy.ipipgo.com:31028'
}

 Remember to add the timeout parameter, as the Philippine network sometimes gets jerky
response = requests.get('https://目标网站.ph',
                      proxies=proxy, timeout=15)
                      timeout=15)
print(response.text)

Watch out for a few potholes:
1. 200ms difference in IP latency between Manila and Davao.
2 Globe and Smart operators to be tested separately
3 It is better to randomly switch User-Agent for each request.
It is recommended to ping the test tool in the ipipgo backend first and pick the node with low latency.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Will I be found by the website if I use a proxy?
A: mainly depends on the quality of IP. ipipgo's IP pool is updated every day 20%, which is much safer than those public proxies that are ridden by thousands of people.

Q: Do I need to maintain my own agent pool?
A: No need at all. Their smart routing will switch automatically, which is more reliable than writing your own switching algorithm.

Q: Will I be blocked if I swipe from a Philippine IP?
A: The focus is on behavioral patterns. It is recommended to work with fingerprint browser + local timestamp, ipipgo has a ready solution.

Q: Why are mobile IPs more expensive than residential IPs?
A: The cost difference is more than three times. Mobile base stations have less IP resources, but you must use the mobile network for things like registering a new account.

Lastly, don't trust those who sell cheap proxies. The last time someone bought a 0.1 knife/IP for cheap, the result was all school room IP, just registered 10 accounts on the whole waste. ipipgo although more expensive, but they have the Philippine local qualification, the problem can find a real person to deal with, which is the key.
