What can an Afghan agent actually do?
Recently, there are always doing foreign trade friends asked me, Afghanistan, such a cold area of the proxy IP in the end what is the use? To cite a real case, a carpet business buddies, the need for real-time capture of the local wholesale market in Kabul offer, but directly with the domestic IP to access the Afghan website, either slow loading, or directly blocked. This time to hang a static IP in Kabul, with the local people on the Internet in the same way, the success rate of data capture directly from 30% soared to 90%.
Here's where to draw the line:Static IPs are much more stable than dynamic IPs, especially doing business that requires staying connected over time, for example:
- Cross-border e-commerce inventory monitoring
- Local Social Media Operations
- Real-time tracking of logistics information
Use ipipgo's Kabul Exclusive IP Pool, each IP comes with a separate server room environment, unlike public proxies that can be easily recognized.
Hands-on configuration of static proxies
Don't be intimidated by the technical jargon, it's actually super easy to set up. Take the Python crawler, for example, and use the exclusive authentication method provided by ipipgo in three steps:
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:23011",
"https": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:23011"
}
response = requests.get("https://www.afghan-trade.gov.af", proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
Pay attention to this detail:Use 23011 for the port number instead of the common portThis is a channel specially designed by ipipgo for high stash links to avoid feature recognition. If you get a certificate error, remember to addverify=FalseParameters, but don't do this on a financial site.
Why do older drivers choose static IPs?
Dynamic IP looks cheap, the actual dark pit a lot. Last year, a customer to cheap public proxy, the results of three consecutive days to catch all the wrong data - later found that the IP is contaminated, the return is cached pages. Compare the difference between the two types:
| comparison term | static IP | dynamic IP |
|---|---|---|
| Connection Stability | 24-hour non-stop line | Average 15 minutes offline |
| identity credibility | Show real server room IP | Mark as Proxy IP |
| price tag | Monthly subscription is more cost-effective | Volume-based fees have hidden costs |
The measured latency of ipipgo's Kabul node is around 300ms, which is perfectly adequate for Central Asian business. I especially want to praise theirIP warm-up mechanismThe new IP will first visit the local site with an analog browser to avoid being blocked just after going live.
Guide to avoiding pitfalls: Don't step on these minefields!
1. Don't use free agents.Last year, there was a customer who did mineral information, used the free agent found on the Internet, and as a result, the server was implanted with mining scripts, resulting in a blood loss of 80,000 yuan.
2. Note the protocol matchAfghanistan: some sites can only use HTTP protocol, this time the https proxy will report an error!
3. Control request frequencyEven if you use a local IP, don't send requests like a machine gun, it is recommended to set a random delay of 3-5 seconds.
Here's a tricky way to do it: use ipipgo'sIP rotation + static IP combinationThe first step is to use a fixed IP to maintain the login status while avoiding too frequent visits. The specific operation is to use a fixed IP to maintain the session during the cookie validity period, and other requests go to the dynamic IP pool.

A: Under normal use, ipipgo's static IP average life expectancy of about 15 days, the system will automatically monitor the IP health status, 48 hours in advance of the notice to replace the
A final reminder:Don't do anything illegal with the agency.! Last year, a company used a proxy to fake clicks and was blackballed by the Afghan Ministry of Commerce, along with the entire IP segment was blocked for three months. Compliance use to be long-lasting, this is a blood lesson.
