Why does anyone need an Irish IP?
Recently, I've had a few people ask me "what's the point of having an Irish agent", but in fact most of the demand is centered onLocalization Testingrespond in singingdata acquisitionThese two scenarios. For example, merchants doing cross-border e-commerce have to check the loading speed of their websites in Ireland, or those doing SEO have to crawl local search results. There are also some friends who simply want to log in to their social media accounts with an Irish IP to avoid being misjudged by the platform as an abnormal login.
Here's a special reminder: use free proxies for the most fearful encounterslit. ten thousand horsemenThe IP (that is, too many people have used), this IP is not only slow, but also may be the target site directly pull black. Last month there was a user who did airfare comparison, using free agents to capture data by the anti-climbing mechanism was blocked three times, and then changed to ipipgo's exclusive IP to solve the problem.
Second, the pit of free agents is more than you think
Dozens of websites can pop up on the internet with a random search for "Ireland Free Proxy", but in practice it's all a minefield:
| common problems | probability of occurrence |
| IPs Fail Faster Than Takeout Gets Cold | 78% |
| Internet speed is stuck like in the 2G era | 65% |
| Stealing ads or hijacking traffic | 42% |
There is a do independent station buddy with me to complain, with free agents to test the site, the page actually pop-up pornographic ads, almost by the customer complaint. So don't save this money for important business, especially if you need toLong-term stable IPThe Scene.
Third, hand to teach you to pick a reliable agent
Here's one.four-step screening process::
1. Survival measurement: check if the proxy is online with the curl command
curl --proxy http://IP:端口 http://httpbin.org/ip
2. To see the speed: use the time command to record the response time
time curl --proxy http://IP:端口 -s -o /dev/null http://example.com
3. check purity: visit whoer.net to see the IP rating
4. verify geographic location: use ip-api.com to check address details
I recently discovered a pretty useful feature of ipipgo, theirIP Detection ToolDirectly packaged with these detection steps, without having to knock the commands one by one by yourself. Especially for those who do cross-border e-commerce, their Irish IP library is updated very frequently, which basically ensures that you can get the freshest IP resources.
Why recommend ipipgo?
After using their service for three months, these points really hit home:
- ✅ Irish IP pool covering three major carriers (Vodafone, Three, Eir)
- ✅ Exclusive IP packages support hourly billing
- ✅ Provide API to get dynamic agents, suitable for crawler projects
- ✅ Technical customer service response time within 10 minutes (pro-tested)
There is a case of a user doing travel price comparison: before using the free proxy to catch hotel data, on average, every 20 minutes to change the IP. after changing to ipipgo's dynamic rotation package.Ran for six hours straight without being stopped.The efficiency of data collection is directly doubled.
V. Configuration tutorials that even a white person can understand
Take the Python crawler as an example, and use the ipipgo API to get proxies:
import requests
def get_proxy(): api_url =
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/rotate?country=IE"
resp = requests.get(api_url).json()
return f "http://{resp['ip']}:{resp['port']}"
proxies = {
'http': get_proxy(),
'https': get_proxy()
}
response = requests.get('Target site', proxies=proxies)
Be careful to set thetimeout retry mechanismThe first thing I'd like to say is that I don't think it's a good idea to use the retrying library with the retrying library. Don't be ironic when it comes to CAPTCHA, it's time to get on the coding platform, after all, the agent is not omnipotent.
VI. Quick questions and answers to frequently asked questions
Q: How long will the free agent last?
A: Depends on luck, short a few minutes, long may last half a day. Important business is recommended to use paid services, ipipgo new users have a 3-day trial period.
Q: Why does the Internet speed slow down after using a proxy?
A: Two situations: either the proxy server performance is poor, or the network line bypass. Select ipipgo this supportRoute Preferenceof service providers that can automatically match the fastest nodes.
Q: Will it conflict if I open more than one agent at the same time?
A: It depends on the specific implementation. If you use a browser plugin to switch proxies, you can only use one at a time. If it is multi-threaded at the program level, it is recommended that each thread is individually paired with a different proxy. ipipgo's API supports bulk IP pool acquisition.
