Website Unlocker: Geo-restriction Bypass Tool

Can this thing really fix a website that won't open?

Recently, Lao Zhang found a strange thing, want to check some industry information always jumped out of a"This content is not available in your area."I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. Later, his coworkers said to use a proxy IP trick to try, the results also really brush out that site. In fact, the principle is very simple, just like your online shopping when you change a shipping address, the server to see your IP address changed will be released.

There is a pitfall to be aware of: many tutorials will teach people to use free proxies, but those public IPs have long been blacklisted by the website. Last month I tried a platform of free proxy, 8 out of 10 can not connect, the remaining 2 slow as a snail. This is the time to find likeipipgoThis kind of service provider specializing in dynamic IP pools, they update thousands of IP addresses every minute, it's impossible to block them.

Teach you to play with proxy IP

Let's start with the easiest way, using a browser plugin. Take Chrome for example:

1. install the SwitchyOmega plugin
2. Open the ipipgo backend to get the API link.
3. Fill in the API in the plugin's auto-rotation settings.
4. Tap the small globe icon to switch IPs.

If you're a coding buddy, it's even better to write an automatic switch in Python:

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://user:pass@ipipgo-proxy-server:port',
    'https': 'http://user:pass@ipipgo-proxy-server:port'
}

response = requests.get('Target site', proxies=proxies)
print(response.text)

Note that the user and pass should be changed to their own key registered in ipipgo, this can be found in the background "account settings". It is recommended to change the IP every 3-5 requests, so that it is not easy to trigger the site's wind control mechanism.

Which scenarios are the most popular?

For example, last year's Double Eleven, a girl doing shopping on behalf of the U.S. residential IP with ipipgo, hard to grab the limited edition 12 hours earlier than the domestic. There is also a cross-border e-commerce old man, using the British IP to check competitors' pricing, the performance of the month directly doubled.

A must-see for beginners QA

Q: Is it safe to use a proxy IP?
A: The key is to look at the service provider, ipipgo goes AES-256 encryption for all traffic, much safer than public WiFi. It is recommended to turn on theirconfusing pattern, traffic is disguised as normal web access.

Q: Why is it sometimes still recognized when I change my IP?

Q: Does it work on cell phones?
A: Android can configure the proxy in Settings - WLAN, iOS need to install a description file. However, it is recommended to use ipipgo's client APP directly, which can be switched in two clicks, and can also automatically measure the speed and select the optimal line.

The doorway to choosing a service provider

Agency services on the market are a mixed bag, to teach you a few tricks to avoid the pit:

1. Look at the IP type: preferred supportDynamic Residential + Static Engine RoomDual-mode ones, like ipipgo's Hybrid Proxy Pool can handle different scenarios
2. Measure the response speed: Don't believe what the ads say, ping it yourself. Normal proxy delay should be within 200ms
3. Check the history of evaluation: focus on whether there are people touting the high IP repetition rate, this point ipipgo do well, their IP pool updated every day 20% or more!

As a final reminder, use proxy IPs to comply with local regulations. For example, some sites explicitly prohibit the use of automated tools to access, this time you have to take it easy. It is recommended that newbies use ipipgo's pay-as-you-go package first, using as much as you can, and then the monthly subscription is more cost-effective when you are familiar with the game.
