What the heck is a residential agent anyway?
I've often heard that you need to use a proxy IP for your network business, but an ordinary server room IP is like going into a luxury store in overalls - you'll be stared at by security guards in minutes. This is the time to rely onResidential AgentsThis "plainclothes bodyguard", it uses a real home broadband IP, like letting your network request in jeans T-shirt shopping, mixed in the crowd can not be seen at all abnormal.
Now a lot of platforms have installed a "face recognition system", the ordinary room IP just show their heads will be marked. Last week, a friend of an e-commerce company complained that he used an ordinary proxy to catch the price of competing products, and just after checking 20 pages, he was happy to receive a large gift package of sealing numbers. After switching to a residential proxy, the data ran for two consecutive days without being detected - this matter is similar to the difference between a real hair piece and a wig, the naked eye can not see but the system can feel out.
Why does it have to be a home IP?
Let's take the analogy of a blind date:
| Agent Type | be just like | compatibility |
|---|---|---|
| Server Room IP | matchmaker | 30% |
| 4G mobile IP | day laborer | 60% |
| Residential IP | serious office worker (esp. in Hong Kong) | 95% |
Platform risk control is now very precise, will check the IP "account book": broadband type, geographic location, use habits. Like ipipgo's residential agent, each IP has real broadband account information, and the online behavior is completely consistent with that of ordinary users. Last year, during the double eleven period, a customer used their agent to manage 200 store accounts at the same time, and froze without triggering the platform's wind control alarm.
Hands-on advice on picking the right agency service
You have to look at three major destinations to choose a residential agent:
- IP Survival Time: Don't believe those claiming permanent IPs, normal home broadband IPs would have been redialed periodically. A good service provider will have both a long-lasting IP pool (maintained for 3-7 days) and a dynamic IP pool (changed automatically), like ipipgo does!
- Geographic accuracy: To be specific to the city level, such as the need for Shanghai Pudong IP, can not give a Chongming Island to make up the numbers!
- Concurrent control: launching too many requests from one IP at the same time is like farting in an elevator, even the most genuine IP is exposed!
Here's a code example to detect the quality of the proxy:
import requests
proxy = "http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.io:8000"
try.
resp = requests.get('https://ipinfo.io', proxies={'http': proxy}, timeout=10)
print(f "IP type: {resp.json()['org']}") see if residential network
print(f "Latency: {resp.elapsed.microseconds/1000}ms")
except Exception as e.
print("Proxy hangs! Change your service provider now.")
Three surefire ways to prevent detection
Even if you use a residential agent, mishandling the car will still turn it over:
Tip #1: Simulate a real person's routine
Don't keep the program running 24/7, add a random hibernation time. Just like real people who don't sleep get treated like robots, reduce the frequency of operation appropriately from 2-5am.
Tip #2: Browser fingerprints should match
The IP is Shanghai, but the browser time zone shows New York? This kind of low-level mistake is still being made. It is recommended to use the matching fingerprint modification plugin provided by ipipgo to automatically match the hardware and software information of the IP location.
Tip #3: Combine movement and static
Important accounts are bound to a long-lasting IP (such as 7 days without changing), ordinary tasks with dynamic IP. just like going out to meet customers wearing formal wear, take out the trash wearing pajamas, you have to look at the occasion to switch.
Guidelines on demining of common problems
Q: Why are I still blocked after using a residential agent?
A: 80% of the operation is too fierce, try this three axes: ① each IP operation per hour not more than 50 times ② daily change 3-5 IP rotation ③ key operations go different IP
Q: What if I need to manage multiple accounts at the same time?
A: ipipgo's "IP Safe" function can bind an exclusive IP to each account and automatically maintain the IP-account correspondence, which is much more convenient than manually memorizing Excel.
Q: How do I break the CAPTCHA when I encounter it?
A: Don't expect to completely avoid, but residential agents can reduce the trigger rate of 90%. If you really encounter it, it is recommended to use a coding platform + IP hold strategy (the same IP to complete the verification process)
Why do you recommend ipipgo?
There are two words for this family's killer:reallyrespond in singingworkmanship. The IP is all from the real broadband, live in their dynamic IP pool hourly update 20% address. The last time a customer to do overseas questionnaire, with other agents can not pass the geographic verification, change ip ipgo directly after the success rate soared to 85%.

If you ask me, instead of wasting money on junk proxies, it's better to go straight to the hard stuff.
