What exactly does a proxy IP do for you?
Recently, a lot of friends asked me, proxy IP is just a different address? How useful can it be? Let's put it this way, just like we go out and wear a mask, although it looks simple, but it can prevent dust and sunshine can also temporarily cover up the ugly. To give a real example, do e-commerce friends with ipipgo's proxy IP package, the same computer can open five store accounts without string lines, than rent five computers to save thousands of dollars.
Cheap ≠ poor quality shopping doorway
Proxy IP packages on the market are eye-catching, teaching you three tricks to avoid the pit guide:
1. Depends on survival timeDon't believe in that IP permanence crap. ipipgo's packages are clearly labeled for each IP.Survival 6-12 hoursThat's the real deal.
2. Measuring Response Speed: Write your own script and run a latency test, don't just look at the ads!
3. Check IP library typeYou should choose a mixed dial-up package (that is, one that includes both server room IP and home broadband), like ipipgo's C package.
| Package Type | Number of IPs | Applicable Scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| starter pack | 500 per day | Personal Blog Maintenance |
| Enterprise Edition | 3000 per day | E-commerce multi-account |
| Customized packages | unlimited | crawler project |
Teach you to use a proxy IP by hand
Here's a sample python code to extract IPs using ipipgo's API:
import requests
def get_proxy(): api_url =
api_url = "https://ipipgo.com/api/getip?type=json&count=1"
resp = requests.get(api_url).json()
return f"{resp['ip']}:{resp['port']}"
print("Current active IP:", get_proxy())
Note that you have to configure this proxy into your business code, don't be silly and directly use your own local IP to operate, it's no different from running naked.
💰Saving Tips Only Older Drivers Know
ipipgo has a hidden feature many people don't know about-Idle Time Traffic Pack. With a 30% discount on traffic costs from 1am to 6am, it's especially good for data backup or timed crawling tasks. Last time a buddy who does weather data saved over six hundred dollars a month with this feature.
QA time: what you might want to ask
Q: Do cheap proxy IPs get disconnected often?
A: ipipgo's packages all come withAutomatic IP replenishment within 15 secondsmechanism, the measured drop rate is controlled within 2%
Q: Can I try it before I buy it?
A: Sign up and get 50 test IPs, enough to run a small project to try the water!
Q: Will I get my IP blocked while using it?
A: This is the benefit of choosing a dynamic package, ipipgo's IP pool automatically changes a batch of IPs every 6 hours, much safer than a fixed IP.
Lastly, choosing a proxy IP is like buying groceries, don't just look at the cheap price. You need to find a ipipgo like the terms of service written clearly, such as clearly stated IP replacement frequency, after-sales response time, and so on, to use the solid. After all, the money you save will be a big loss if you delay your work.
