South Africa Proxy Servers: Africa Region Nodes

What can a South African proxy server do? These are the scenarios you might use

When it comes to South Africa proxy servers, many people's first reaction is "what does this thing have to do with me". In fact, like we do cross-border e-commerce, overseas promotion, or need toPinpointing African UsersThe South African Node Proxy IP can be a real help.

Let's take a real example: last year, a friend who made a mobile game pushed out a special edition for the African market. When I tested it on a normal network, the game loaded slowly. Later on, they switched toipipgo's South African agentI immediately realized that it was a problem with the local carrier's DNS resolution. As you can see, without this proxy, the problem would not have been discovered.

 Python Example: Testing Web Page Loading with Proxies
import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://username:password@za.ipipgo.net:8080',
    'https': 'http://username:password@za.ipipgo.net:8080'
}

response = requests.get('http://example.com', proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
print(response.status_code)

Keep an eye on these 3 indicators when choosing a South African agent

Don't be fooled by those fancy parameters on the market, let's just look at the core three points:

1. Physical location of the server roomSome proxies say they are South African nodes, but the actual servers are in Europe and the United States. ipipgo's server room is right in the center of Johannesburg, and the ping value can be controlled within 150ms.

2. Operator coverageThe main carriers in South Africa are MTN and Vodacom. A good proxy service should be able to cover the IP segments of the major carriers. ipipgo has done a good job in this regard, and the list of real-time available carriers can be found on their website.

3. Conversation retention capacity: Friends who do data collection understand that it is easy to be blocked by changing IP frequently. It is recommended to choose a program like ipipgo that supportsLong Session Bindings, a single IP can last up to 2 hours without changing.

Hands-on with ipipgo South Africa Proxy

I'm not going to talk about registration or anything else, but I'm going to focus on configuration tips:

Browser settings (Chrome as an example)::
1. Open Settings → Advanced → System → Open Proxy Settings
2. fill in the manual proxy configuration:
- Address box is filled inza.ipipgo.net
- The port is the port number you purchased.
3. Don't forget to click on "List of addresses not using proxies" to remove South Africa-related websites.

What should I do if I encounter a sudden increase in captcha codes? Don't panic, in the ipipgo console put theIP switching frequencyFrom the default 10 minutes to 5 minutes, immediately see the effect. This feature is unique to their home, and has been personally tested to lower the CAPTCHA trigger rate by 60% or more.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Will South African agents be slow?
A: It depends on the service provider. Like ipipgo has built its own local transit server, the actual download speed can be up to 3MB/s, watching 720p video without lagging. If you choose the cheap stuff from those second-hand dealers, it's not surprising that it's lagging into PPT.

Q: Do I need to prepare any certification materials?
A: Regular service providers are required to have real-name authentication. ipipgo now supportsBusiness License + Legal Person IDDual authentication, or individual users with ID + cell phone number authentication. Don't hate the trouble, this is rather a responsible performance for the user.

Q: Can I try it? How do I get a good deal?
A: Sign up for a ipipgo account now and get a free100MB South African trafficIt's enough for testing. If you use it for a long time, it's cheaper to buy a yearly package than to pay monthly for 40%, and you get free nodes in Malawi and Kenya.

Avoid these potholes.

As a final rant, the South African agency market is a mixed bag, so pay special attention:

- Don't believe in the so-called "unlimited traffic", the regular vendors are billed by the GB.
- Be wary of offers that are 30% below market price, odds are it's a shared IP pool
- Be sure to check the IP belongs to the place, recommended to use ipipgo official website of theOnline testing tools

By the way, recently found a tart operation: ipipgo's South African agent and their Nigerian nodes used in combination, do cross-regional data comparison is very convenient. I won't tell anyone about this trick.
