How to choose a German proxy service? Frankfurt Node Test Report
Recently, many friends doing cross-border e-commerce are asking why they have to focus on Frankfurt's agent IP. This thing is actually quite interesting. Let's take ipipgo's service as an example, the measured latency of their Frankfurt node can be pressed toWithin 15 millisecondsIt's nearly twice as fast as some of the providers that claim to have "ultra-high speeds".
Speed comparison in real scenarios
Last week I took three different service providers and did a test:
Example of a Python Request Test Script
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://user:pass@fra-de.ipipgo.net:8899",
"https": "http://user:pass@fra-de.ipipgo.net:8899"
}
resp = requests.get("https://speedtest.ipipgo.com", proxies=proxies, timeout=5)
print(f "Response time: {resp.elapsed.total_seconds():.3f} seconds")
The actual test down ipipgo node is basically stable at about 0.3 seconds, the other family's often soared to more than 0.8 seconds. Especially when doing batch operation, this gap can save a lot of time.
Configuration Avoidance Guide
A lot of people get stuck in the configuration session, which is really just three key points:
1. authentication format must be username:password@ip:port
2. different business to choose the corresponding protocol type (HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5)
3. remember to set a reasonable timeout parameter (recommended 3-5 seconds)
Recently found a new pit: some software will automatically detect the system proxy settings, this time you have to go to theAdvanced SettingsTurn off the auto-detect in the
Special Scenario Adaptation Program
Pay special attention to these situations:
| take | prescription |
|---|---|
| Fixed IP required | Go with ipipgo's exclusive package. |
| High Frequency Switching Requirements | Use their API to dynamically get |
| Transnational data transfer | Enable TCP acceleration mode |
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Why is it slower to connect to the proxy instead?
A: eighty percent is the wrong choice of protocol, do web page collection with HTTP, transfer files with SOCKS5, encrypted data go HTTPS!
Q: What should I do if my IP suddenly fails to connect?
A: The ipipgo backend has aEmergency switching buttonIt's a lot faster to get a new IP in 30 seconds than it is to get customer service.
Q: Is the subscription traffic always insufficient?
A: Their Smart Stream Saving Mode can compress 30% traffic, which can be found on the third page of the control panel.
Maintenance Tips
Every Wednesday morning at 7:00 a.m. (German time) is the peak time for local network maintenance, so it is recommended that you switch nodes manually at this time. ipipgo's clients have aAutomatic circumvention of maintenance periodsfunction, just check it in Settings-Advanced.
One last bit of cold knowledge: the routing of the Frankfurt node actually goesAmsterdam-Berlin-FrankfurtIt's a dedicated fiber optic cable, so it's faster than a direct connection to Frankfurt. This is one of the reasons why ipipgo is recommended, they really have a knack for optimizing their lines.
