What does a Greek proxy server actually do?
Recently, some cross-border e-commerce buddies always ask me, said that their stores are always detected by the platform to log in from a different location. At this time, you need a Greek IP as a "stand-in actor", so that the platform thinks you are really squatting next to the Acropolis office. For example, if you want to manage a local Greek e-commerce account, logging in with a local IP can avoid triggering the risk control, which we have tested and it really works.
There are also some friends who do data collection is even worse, the target site at a glance of foreign IP will be directly blocked. Last month, a customer used the Greek residential proxy of ipipgo.The request success rate shot straight up from 37% to 89%. How does it work exactly? Take Python as a chestnut:
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://用户名:密码@gr.ipipgo.com:端口',
'https': 'http://用户名:密码@gr.ipipgo.com:端口'
}
response = requests.get('https://目标网站.gr', proxies=proxies)
print(response.status_code)
Note that you have to replace the username and password in the configuration with the authentication information you got in the ipipgo background, and newbies often forget this resulting in not being able to connect.
What are the doors to look for when choosing a Greek agent?
The market agent service providers like the Aegean islands, but not many really reliable. Teach you three tips to avoid pitfalls:
1. IP types are a matter of course: Data center agents are fast but easy to be identified, residential agents are expensive but high simulation. Doing e-commerce operation choose residential, engage in data collection with the server room
2. Speed don't just look at the publicity: some merchants advertise gigabit bandwidth, but the actual use is slower than a donkey cart. It is recommended to test before you buy, like ipipgo each package will send 5M traffic trial!
3. customer service response speed: encountered a problem in the middle of the night to send a work order, the next afternoon only to reply, this direct pass. we recommend ipipgo mainly in their technical customer service 24 hours online, the last time 3:00 a.m. consulting actually seconds back!
| Requirement Scenarios | Recommendation Type | Recommended duration |
|---|---|---|
| Store Account Management | Static Residential IP | make monthly payments |
| Price monitoring | Dynamic Server Room IP | pay per volume |
| Social Media Operations | 4G mobile IP | weekly |
The Greek Agent's Guide to Avoiding the Pitfalls
Newbies are most likely to fall into IP purity. A customer used a free proxy before, and all the logged-in accounts were marked as abnormal. Later, he switched to ipipgo's exclusive IP pool and had no more problems. Here I will teach you two tricks to detect whether the IP is exposed or not:
First move: visitsGreek native IP testing stationsThe time zone, language and other parameters are not correct.
Tip #2: Test the exit IP with the curl command:
curl --proxy http://用户:密码@proxy address:port ifconfig.me
If the IP address is Greece, it's a safe bet. If it's Germany or Holland or something, go to customer service and get your ass kicked.
