What exactly is the purpose of a Chinese residential IP proxy?
Many of my friends can't figure out why we need a residential IP proxy. Simply put, it's like you have a fixed residence in different cities, and you can choose a different house as a starting point every time you go out. For example, if you are an e-commerce company and you want to monitor the price of goods on a certain website, you will be recognized as a crawler if you use your company's IP a few times, and then you can continue to operate normally if you change your IP to a real residential IP.
To give a real case: a friend doing small program development needs to test the opening speed of users in different regions. The data measured by ordinary server room IP is unreliable, and after changing to ipipgo's dynamic residential IP, it successfully simulated the access situation of real users in more than 30 cities across the country.
You must be aware of these 3 pitfalls when choosing a residential IP
The market is a mixed bag of agency services, and here's how to avoid the thunder:
1. Don't believe in the "exclusive IP" gimmick.
The cost of a true dedicated IP is extremely high, and many businesses sell commercial IPs as residential IPs. ipipgo's IP pool is automatically updated every 2 hours to ensure a new IP for every request.
2. Speed over quantity
| typology | Average response | Applicable Scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| General Agent | 800ms+ | Simple Data Acquisition |
| ipipgo proxy | Within 200ms | real time interactive operation |
3. The level of anonymity should be read
Many proxies leak X-Forwarded-For headers. ipipgo uses a three-layer forwarding technology to ensure that request headers are completely clean
Hands on teaching you to use ipipgo to connect a proxy
The most basic configuration method is demonstrated here in Python:
import requests
Authentication information from ipipgo backend
proxy_user = "your account"
proxy_pass = "Dynamic password"
proxy_host = "gateway.ipipgo.com:9020"
proxies = {
"http": f "http://{proxy_user}:{proxy_pass}@{proxy_host}",
"https": f "http://{proxy_user}:{proxy_pass}@{proxy_host}"
}
resp = requests.get("http://example.com", proxies=proxies)
print(resp.text)
Take care to set your dynamic password to automatically update every hour, which is more secure than a fixed password.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: What should I do if my IP is suddenly unavailable?
A: ipipgo provides 5 seconds of extremely fast switching, add a retry mechanism in the code on the line, the most retry 3 times will certainly get the new IP!
Q: What if I need an IP for a specific city?
A: In the background of the account, select the "precise location" mode, support accurate geographic location binding to the district and county level.
Q: Will I be blocked by the target website?
A: ipipgo's IP survival cycle control in 2-4 hours, with the request frequency control, the actual test of continuous use for 3 months without banning cases
Why is residential IP just a necessity?
Nowadays, the wind control of major platforms is getting more and more strict, and last year, a well-known data company used the IP of the server room to collect, and as a result, it was sued for 2 million dollars. After changing to residential IP, not only is the data acquisition legal and compliant, but the collection efficiency has also increased by 3 times.
Recently found an interesting phenomenon: some do live bandwagon team, with ipipgo agent at the same time to manage hundreds of accounts. Each account has an independent IP address, so that it will not be limited by the platform flow, but also to test the conversion effect of different words.
I've used seven or eight agents, and I've finally renewed my account with ipipgo. I've used seven or eight proxy services, the last long-term renewal or ipipgo. their technical customer service is really know how to do, the last time I encountered a cookie tracking problems, engineers directly write a js bypass code, the service is no words.
