How to choose a proxy IP? Figure out what you want to do first
Many people come up to ask "which agent is the best", which is the same as asking "which knife is the fastest" a reason - it depends on whether you are cutting vegetables or carving flowers. Let's start by breaking down the common usage scenarios:
- Veteran Data Acquisition Driver: need IP rotation frequency and long survival time of the
- Multi-account Operator: Requires high IP purity and no association detection
- Automation Tester: gotta look for responsiveness and stability!
Take ipipgo for example, their dynamic residential IP pool is as big as the sea, especially suitable for the need to frequently switch IP scenarios. If you are doing long-term fixed business, they also have exclusive static IP zone, which will be discussed in detail later.
Three core indicators, do not be fooled by the parameters limp
A bunch of service providers on the market love to brag about a million IP pools, where the moisture can feed the fish. The real thing to keep an eye on is these three hard indicators:
| norm | passing line or score (in an examination) | ipipgo real test |
|---|---|---|
| Connection Success Rate | ≥92% | 96.3% |
| Average Response Speed | ≤1.5 seconds | 0.8 seconds |
| IP Survival Cycle | 12 hours. | 24-72 hours |
Pay special attention to those who say "permanently effective" IP, nine times out of ten is a pit. Normal residential IP survival 1-3 days is considered quality, ipipgo dynamic IP can last up to 3 days is not rare, but it is recommended that every 12 hours active change more secure.
Hands-on Manual: Data Collection as an Example
Here's a python code example to implement smart switching with ipipgo:
import requests
from ipipgo import Rotator Note the call to our own SDK.
proxy_rotator = Rotator(
auth_key="Your key", strategy="smart_rotate", smart_rotate_strategy
strategy="smart_rotate", smart_rotate_strategy
auth_key="your key", strategy="smart_rotate", smart_rotate_strategy
)
for page in range(1,100): with proxy_rotator.get_session() as s
with proxy_rotator.get_session() as s.
try: resp = s.get("target site")
resp = s.get("target site", timeout=10)
Processing data...
except Exception as e.
print(f "Page {page} collection flopped, auto switch IP retry")
this onesmart_rotateThe mode thief is good to use, according to the strength of the target site's anti-climbing automatically adjust the switching frequency. ipipgo's SDK also has a killer feature - anomalous state of automatic meltdown, encountering a CAPTCHA storm will be automatically paused, to avoid the account being blocked.
Guide to avoiding pitfalls: Don't step on these minefields!
1. Don't buy low-end port IPs on the cheapMany websites will focus on monitoring ports below 8000, ipipgo's proxy ports are randomly generated at high levels for better stealth.
2. Don't mix HTTP/S protocols: Accessing https websites but using http proxy is equivalent to wearing a suit with slippers, and will be broken in minutes.
3. Pay attention to traffic usage habits: Sudden surge of traffic will trigger wind control, it is recommended to set the traffic smoothing mode in the background of ipipgo
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: What should I do if my IP is blocked?
A: Immediately stop using the IP, submit an anomaly report in the ipipgo console, the system will automatically compensate for the new IP and blackmail the problem node
Q: How do I choose packages for different services?
A: Individuals with small quantities are billed by the hour, and enterprise-level business is directly on the customized package. There is a trick - first buy a 3-day trial package, the background will give the usage analysis report!
Q: What if I need both static and dynamic IPs?
A: ipipgo support mixed packages, in the API request with the ?type=static parameter will be able to call the exclusive static IP pool, this feature is rarely seen elsewhere!
Tell the truth.
Lastly, don't believe in any "universal agent". Just like wearing clothes depends on the occasion, choose the right agent also need to be the right medicine. I have used seven or eight service providers, ipipgo the most worrying is theirIP Health MonitoringThe company's IP Quality Report is a great way to get an early warning of potential risks. Recently found that they have added the IP quality daily report function, every morning look at the report, the day's work schedule will have a clear idea in mind.
