What does a free rotating agent really do?
Recently, a friend always asked me, why the data capture always be blocked IP, it is like you go to the supermarket to try to eat, caught the same stall to eat more than a dozen times, the security guards do not stare at you to stare at who? At this timerotational agentIt's your cloak of invisibility, changing IP addresses every time you visit, and the server can't tell who's who.
To cite a real scenario: an e-commerce platform to limit the purchase of goods, you use their own IP operation for three consecutive times will be pulled black. If you use ipipgo's dynamic proxy pool, every time you place an order, it's like changing your face to check out, and the system still thinks you have a new customer.
What is the difference between manual switching vs. automatic switching?
Changing proxies manually is like changing a SIM card in a cell phone:
1. Open the ipipgo backend
2. Copy the new IP address
3. Change your browser settings
4. Repeat the above steps...
This set of operations, not to mention low efficiency, the key is prone to error. I have seen the most tragic case: a company intern manually change the IP address wrong address, resulting in the entire crawler script crashed for three days.
Automatic switching is the way to go! ipipgo's intelligent scheduling system can do it:
| trigger condition | movements |
|---|---|
| When access fails | Switch to a new IP in 0.5 seconds |
| 10 consecutive successes | Proactive Replacement of Anti-Association |
| specific time period | Automatic switching of high stash IPs |
Automatic switching configuration in three steps
Don't be intimidated by the technical terminology, in practice it's easier than cooking instant noodles:
Python example (remember to install the ipipgo SDK first)
from ipipgo import RotatingProxy
proxy = RotatingProxy(
auth_key="Your key",
strategy="smart" smart mode automatically adjusts to business
)
Automatically bring the proxy when initiating a request
response = proxy.get("https://目标网站")
Focus on these two parameters:
1. Toggle threshold:: It is recommended that novices set up 5-10 requests for a switch
2. fail and try again: 3 retries on can avoid temporary failure nodes
A must-see guide to avoiding the pitfalls for beginners
I recently found a couple of high-frequency errors when I was helping someone troubleshoot a problem:
❌ Proxy IP as a family heirloom: a brother did not change the IP for three days, the result of the account was completely wiped out
✅ Correct posture: ipipgo suggests actively changing it every 15 minutes, even if the current IP is still working!
❌ Ignoring protocol types: a user http proxy accesses https site and blames the service provider for not being able to
✅ Checklist:
- Website protocols (http/https)
- Is the port number correct?
- Whether the authentication information is out of date
QA First Aid Kit
Q: Are free agents safe?
A: the market free proxy 90% have problems! ipipgo's free package, although speed limit, but to ensure IP purity, we have done the test: the same business scenario, the probability of the black IP is blocked ipipgo 7 times.
Q: Will automatic switching slow down?
A: Good question! Tested ipipgo's smart routing, it responds on average 200ms faster than fixed proxies. because the system willAutomatic selection of the lowest latencynodes and also avoid congested routes during peak hours.
Q: How can I tell if the switch is successful?
A: Two earthly methods:
1. Visit https://ip.ipipgo.com/check to see the IPs displayed
2. Add print(proxy.current_ip) to the code to check it at any time.
Why ipipgo?
Finally, on a more serious note, I recently helped six projects migrate to ipipgo, and the most intuitive change:
- Banning rate decreased from 351 TP3T to 0.71 TP3T
- Maintenance time savings of 8 hours per week
- Unexpected surprise: a customer with our residential agent, actually snatched the limited sneakers!
in particularDynamic Certificate ValidationThis black technology, the traditional agent to manually enter the account password, ipipgo through the key to automatically complete the authentication, especially suitable for the need to batch management of the scene. Recently they engaged in a free trial activity for new users, it is recommended that the first woolgathering to try the water.
To tell the truth, proxy IP this thing is like contact lenses, wear uncomfortable immediately change. Instead of tossing those who come from an unknown free agent, it is better to find a quality assurance service provider like ipipgo, out of the problem at least have technical customer service at any time to save the scene is not?
