A must for getting data! What's the point of Chinese residential IPs anyway?
Recently a lot of friends doing e-commerce asked me why the old account was suddenly restricted by the platform? In fact, the problem may be in the IP address. For example, if you are in Shanghai but log in with the IP of the Beijing server room, the platform will know that something is wrong once it is detected. At this timeResidential IP used by real peopleIt comes in handy - this IP is exactly like regular home broadband, and the platform can't tell if it's a real person or a program operating.
There are three types of agents on the market today:
| typology | specificities | Applicable Scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Data Center IP | Batch generation at a cheap price | Short-term CAPTCHA reception |
| Server Room Agents | Fixed area with high stability | Fixed-site requirements |
| Residential IP (recommended) | real network environment | Account Management/Data Collection |
Hands on advice on choosing the right agency service
Select agent do not just look at the price, a cross-border e-commerce buddies last year, greedy for cheap, the results of the account was blocked more than a dozen. Here to teach you three pit avoidance know-how:
1. See if the IP pool isdynamic update (Internet)Some service providers take second-hand IPs
2. TestingIP Survival TimeIt is recommended to choose the one that survives for more than 30 minutes
3. RequirementsCity-level positioningIt's better to be able to do district positioning
Like our team with ipipgo agent, their IP pool is automatically refreshed every hour, but also accurate to the Shenzhen Nanshan District such level. Especially suitable for the need to simulate the scene of users in different regions, the key isConnection success rate is up to 98%., much better than a certain one I was using before.
Build a proxy environment from scratch
Here's the easiest way to configure Python for the little guy, don't be intimidated by the code, just follow it:
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口',
'https': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口'
}
response = requests.get('http://example.com', proxies=proxies)
print(response.text)
Note that the username and password changed to their own in the ipipgo background to get the authentication information, the port number to see the specific package. If you can't figure it out, their customer service response is quite fast, last time I asked a question at two o'clock in the morning there is actually someone to reply.
Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit
Q: What should I do if my agent is slow?
A: Try switching the connection protocol first, change HTTP to SOCKS5. if you use ipipgo, their client comes with intelligent routing function, it will automatically choose the fastest node.
Q: How can I prevent my IP from being blocked?
A: Remember two numbers--No more than 50 operations per hour for a single IP address.The automatic rotation function of ipipgo allows you to set the switching frequency, which has been tested to be effective.
Q: What if I need multiple city IPs?
A: Directly in the control panel to select "multi-city rotation" mode, like we do the national price monitoring project, set up to run 30 cities at the same time IP, remember to control the number of concurrency in a reasonable range.
Why do you recommend ipipgo?
After using 5 or 6 proxy services, I finally chose ipipgo for these main reasons:
1. Their homeIP pools are backed by real life operatorsNot that kind of virtual dialing.
2. Supportpay per volumeI don't think it's a problem for a small team.
3. There's a very usefulIP DiagnosticsYou can check which platforms your IP has been tagged by.
4. Recent developmentsMobile IP libraryPerfect simulation of mobile network environment
Especially for those who do social platform operation, using their 4G dynamic IP with automation tools, the account survival rate is directly doubled. The last time I helped a client deal with bulk account migration, 3 out of 200 numbers were blocked, the effect is really top.
I recently found that you can get free test hours on their official website, and newcomers get 1G of traffic for signing up. It is recommended to take the test number to run for a few days to see the suitability of business scenarios before deciding. After all, the agent of this thing, suitable for their own is the best.
