How many free agent potholes have you stepped in?
Online search "free agent" can pop up hundreds of thousands of results, but those who have used it know that this thing is like a blind box. Last month, I used a platform to provide a free agent to crawl data, the results ofSpeedo is slow as a snail.Not to mention, the next day the account was also blocked - dare I say that the agent has long been blacklisted! What's even worse is that after connecting to the proxy, the browser suddenly popped up ads, and then the antivirus software suggested that there was data theft behavior...
These tears tell us that there are at least three major potholes in free agency:
1. Poor server stability (disconnection without movement)
2. Presenceprivacy risk
3. Most IPs have long been blacked out by websites
What does a reliable agent look like?
Don't be fooled by the word "free", a good agent has to look at these hard indicators:
| norm | passing line or score (in an examination) | ipipgo measured data |
|---|---|---|
| responsiveness | <500ms | Average 237ms |
| availability rate | >90% | 98.6% |
| IP purity | unlabeled | Daily change of IP library |
Especially if you are doing data collection, it is recommended to go directly to theExclusive IP packages from ipipgo. Their server room cleans IPs regularly, which is much more reliable than those free IPs that 10,000 people ride on. I tested last week, the probability of the same website accessed with free proxies being banned is as high as 72%, while ipipgo's proxies have not triggered the wind control for 50 consecutive visits.
Teach you to use proxies by hand
Here is an example of how to use Python to demonstrate how to use ipipgo's proxy (remember to go to the official website to register for the trial package first):
import requests
Proxy information copied from the ipipgo backend
proxy = {
'http': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020',
'https': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
}
try.
response = requests.get('http://ip.sb', proxies=proxy, timeout=5)
print(f "Current IP: {response.text.strip()}")
except Exception as e.
print("Connection failed, check proxy configuration or contact customer service.")
Attention! Free agents commonlya booby-trap: Many tutorials say to use httpbin.org to detect, in fact, this site does not verify whether the IP is tagged or not. It is recommended to use the ipipgo background comes with theIP Health Checker Tool, can check IP's credit score and blacklist status.
You ask, I answer.
Q: Is it true that free proxies don't work?
A: Temporary tests can be made up, but long-term use of professional services is recommended. Just like renting a room, short-term rental can find a hostel, long stay still need to rent a serious room, ipipgo newcomer package less than 2 dollars per day!
Q: What should I do if my agent is slow?
A: Try switching protocols first (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5), if it is still slow, submit a work order request in the ipipgo background.Switching server room nodesTheir techs are very responsive.
Q: How can I prevent my account from being blocked?
A: three tricks: ① each operation for a different IP ② control the frequency of visits ③ with ipipgoBrowser FingerprintingSynchronization of environmental parameters
Finally, a word from the heart: this agent stuff!Safety is more important than freeIt is not a good idea to use the same agent for the same purpose. Last time I saw a peer because of the use of poor quality agents, customer data was sold lost more than ten thousand dollars. Professional things or to ipipgo this kind of licensed service providers, at least out of the problem can find people responsible for it?
