Rotation Proxy / Rotation Proxy: Automatic IP Switching Solution

What the hell is a rotating agent?

To put it bluntly, it is to let the program automatically change to work with different IPs. For example, like we go to the supermarket checkout, each time to change a different cashier to pay - so that not only will not let the cashier remember your face (anti-blocking), but also to quickly complete the procurement task. Especially suitable for the need for a large number of repetitive operations and not convenient to use a fixed IP scene, such as e-commerce operations, social platform management these.

What headaches does this thing solve?

Let's look at a real scenario first: Xiao Wang does cross-border e-commerce operation and has to manage 50 store accounts. If you log in with a fixed IP, the platform will detect the anomaly in minutes. At this time, using a rotating proxy is just like opening a firewall.stealth modeThe system is designed to avoid the risk control system perfectly by switching to a new IP every time you log in.

 Python example: accessing a website using a rotating proxy
import requests

proxy_list = ["ip1:port", "ip2:port", "ip3:port"] Here we use ipipgo's API to get the latest proxies.

for url in target_urls:
    proxy = {"http": random.choice(proxy_list)}
    response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxy)
     Here's a tip: it's safer to add a random wait time between requests

Hands On Rotation System

Don't be intimidated by the terminology, it's really just three steps:

Focus on proxy source selection:Don't use free proxies for cheap!The previous customer was greedy for cheap, and the result was that all accounts were blocked. Then change ipipgo's exclusive IP pool, the success rate directly to 98%.

Common Pitfalls for Newbies

Name a few blood lessons:

1. IP switching too punctual instead of fake - suggest adding random intervals to mimic the operation of a real person
2. The same IP segment over and over again - to use an IP bank like ipipgo that covers 200+ countries
3. Forgetting to clean up browser fingerprints - recommended for use with anti-association browsers

QA time: what you might want to ask

Say something from the heart.

Rotation agent is not a panacea, but using the right one can really save a lot of things. Recently, I helped a client deploy ipipgo's program, which was originally blocked 7-8 accounts per day, and now it has been running stably for two months with zero blocking. The key is toChoose the Right Service Provider + Configure Your Strategy Wisely, with these two points taken care of, you can basically lay your hands on the money.

Lastly, a reminder: the test phase first run the process with a small number, to confirm stability and then on the main account. There is what do not understand directly to ipipgo official website to find technical customer service, their 7 × 24 service is really in place, three o'clock in the middle of the night can be a second back to the message (do not ask me how I know).
