According to the 300+ customer cases we've served, these scenarios are quasi-flip-flop with ordinary agents:

A customer who is a study abroad agent used the IP of the computer room to check the admission data of the university, and as a result, the IP was blacked out and even the main account was blocked. After switching to ipipgo's residential IP, it is fine to collect data for two weeks in a row, but the key is to control the request frequency in3-5 times per minuteThe
