How to choose a US proxy site? First understand these doorway
Recently a lot of cross-border e-commerce friends and I touted, said always encountered IP was blocked. To put it bluntly is not to choose the right agent service, now on the market of the United States agent mixed, some labeled "local IP" is actually the IP room. here to teach you a few earth methods to identify the true and false:
① Look at the IP segment attribution
The first three places of a true residential IP segment usually change dynamically, for example, a New York IP might start with both 104.132.x.x and 172.58.x.x. In contrast, server room IPs tend to be concentrated in a few fixed segments, such as something like 192.80.xxx.
Quickly detecting IP types (Python example)
import requests
def check_ip_type(ip):
api_url = f "http://ip-api.com/json/{ip}"
response = requests.get(api_url).json()
if 'isp' in response.
return "Server room IP"
return "Residential IP"
return "Detection failed"
Real-world application scenarios for ipipgo
Our team has tested more than two dozen proxies and finally selected ipipgo because of three main reasons:
| comparison term | General Agent | ipipgo |
|---|---|---|
| IP Survival Cycle | 2-6 hours | 12-72 hours |
| geographic location error | >50 kilometers | <5 km |
| Request failure rate | 15% and above | Within 3% |
For example, there is a friend who does TikTok live broadcasting, using the ordinary proxy is always dropped. After switching to ipipgo's mobile cellular IP, the number of people online in the live room directly doubled. Here is a little trick:Don't just look at the price when choosing a proxy, look at the IP's ASN number.. Regular carrier ASNs are publicly available, like ipipgo's AS394354 which is a registered residential network.
Configuration tutorials that even a novice can get started with
Many people think that proxy configuration is complicated, but it's really just three steps:
1. Obtaining an authorization key
Generate an API key in the ipipgo backend, and select the "Long-term" token type.
2. Setting up a white list
Add the local server IP to the authorization list to avoid being intercepted by mistake
3. Rotation strategy setup
It is recommended to select the IP retention duration according to business requirements, for example:
- Crawler collection: 5 minutes to change
- Account maintenance: 24 hours fixed
- Payment operation: keep the same IP throughout
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: What should I do if my proxy IP is slow?
A: Check your local network first, then use the speed test tool provided by ipipgo. There is a pitfall to be aware of:Don't measure US IP speeds with Asian serversIt's like measuring the delivery time of a Guangzhou takeout in Beijing. It's not allowed.
Q: What should I do if all my IPs are suddenly blocked?
A: Immediately stop all operations, contact ipipgo customer service to change the IP segment. There is an emergency program:Enable Hybrid Proxy ModeIf you are using residential IP + mobile network IP shunt at the same time, you will be able to use the IP shunt.
Q: How can I prevent being recognized as a proxy?
A: The key is in fingerprint camouflage. It is recommended to enable ipipgo's browser fingerprint synchronization with Canvas fingerprint obfuscation technology. There's a wildcard:Open a local news site before visiting the target siteIt can simulate real user behavior.
Don't step on these potholes.
Recently found that some people sell server room IP as residential IP, here to teach you three tricks to prevent fraud:
- Check the WHOIS information of the IP, the registrars of the real residential IPs are the likes of Comcast and AT&T
- Use ipipgo's IP quality checker tool that shows real IP usage scenarios
- Look at the IP's egress bandwidth, residential IP's upstream bandwidth is usually within 10Mbps
Finally, a real case: there is a studio doing Amazon reviews, before just buy accounts every month to spend two thousand dollars. After changing to ipipgo's exclusive IP, it hasn't been blocked in three months. The owner said the best value isIP geolocation down to the neighborhood, which matches the shipping address perfectly.
