Why is U.S. cell phone traffic so expensive?
Those who have engaged in overseas business know that the U.S. cell phone IP is like a vein of gold. To cite a chestnut, you are doing cross-border e-commerce evaluation, using the IP room to register an account, the next day will give you a clear seal. At this time, if you have a real IP, the survival rate directly tripled more than.
There are now three types of agents on the market:
| typology | Shelf life | (manufacturing, production etc) costs |
|---|---|---|
| Server Room IP | 1-3 hours | $0.5/GB |
| home broadband | 3-7 days | $1.2/GB |
| cell phone traffic | 30 days + | $3.8/GB |
See? Mobile IP is more expensive, but it's more stable. Especially if you're doing social media operations, if you use a cell phone IP to raise your number, the platform won't be able to tell if it's a real person or a robot.
The right way to open a cell phone proxy pool
Don't be fooled by those selling fake resources, real cell phone agents have to meet three conditions:
① Must use cellular network(don't use wifi camouflage)
② IP address should follow the base station("Fixed IPs are a dead giveaway.)
③ Random generation of device fingerprints(including details such as time zones and languages)
Take the ipipgo proxy for example, their API looks like this:
import requests
proxy = {
'http': 'http://user:pass@proxy.ipipgo.com:15236',
'https': 'http://user:pass@proxy.ipipgo.com:15236'
}
resp = requests.get('https://api.target.com', proxies=proxy, timeout=10)
Watch the port number.15236This detail, a lot of service providers with the default port, a catch. ipipgo this point to do quite smart, each user to assign a separate port, reduce the probability of being blocked.
Practical anti-blocking tips
It's not enough to have agents, you have to be able to use them together:
1. Work and rest time simulation: Don't go on a 24-hour brushing binge, set an active period of 8-12 hours per day
2. Optimization of operation trajectory: Browse 10 items before ordering, don't go straight to the point!
3. Device fingerprint obfuscation: randomize User-Agent and screen resolution per request
Last time there is a friend who does TikTok, with ipipgo proxy + these tips, account survival rate from 20% directly dry to 85%. focus on the device fingerprint this piece, it is recommended to use open source libraries to engage in random generation:
from fake_useragent import UserAgent
import random
ua = UserAgent()
headers = {
'User-Agent': ua.random, 'X-Resolution': f"{random.randint(720,2160)}x{{random.randint(720,2160)
'X-Resolution': f"{random.randint(720,2160)}x{random.randint(1280,3840)}"
}
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Is it worth it to have a cell phone IP that is three times more expensive than a residential IP?
A: Look at the business scenario. If it is a short and quick project with a residential IP on the line, long-term number must be on the cell phone IP. a customer has calculated the account, was blocked 10 account cost enough to buy three months of cell phone agent.
Q: How often does ipipgo's IP change?
A: The default is 24 hours to change automatically, but it is recommended to set it in the background toRequest new IPs every 4 hours. They have a smart scheduling system that automatically optimizes the frequency of replacement based on usage scenarios.
Q: What should I do if my IP is flagged?
A: In the background of ipipgo, you can find the "Emergency Refresh" button, it will assign you a new IP in 30 seconds, this function can be used 5 times a month, don't use it in ordinary circumstances.
What to look for in a service provider
The market claims to do cell phone agent less than 50, in fact, ninety percent are false. Teach you three tricks to check the truth:
① Open whatleaks.net to detect the IP type, to show theMobile Carrier
② Make 20 consecutive requests to see if the ASN number changes frequently.
③ Use speedtest to measure the speed, the real cell phone IP upload speed will not exceed 5Mbps.
The last time I tested ipipgo, I found out that they have a mean job--IP address and base station geolocation binding. For example, if you pick Los Angeles in the background, the IP is not only positioned in LA, but even the CID (cell identification code) of the base station corresponds to the real location.
Finally, an industry secret, many service providers of the "ten million IP pool" is actually a shared pool. ipipgo good in providingexclusive channelIf you want to avoid the correlation between accounts, it is important to assign independent IP segments to each user, which is especially important when doing batch operations.
