The wild playground of changing IPs for Android devices
Recently, I received a lot of private messages from Android users, saying that their phones always encounter network restrictions or need to switch IP scenarios. Today, let's talk about it from the bottom of our heartsNo rooting, no flashing.The solution. First of all, let's talk about a cold knowledge: now 90% Android apps recognize the system proxy settings, which leaves room for us to operate.
Manually assigning values to agents (hands-on)
Open Settings - Wireless Networks - long press on connected WiFi and see theModify the networkNo? Click on Proxy Settings in Advanced Options. There's a pitfall to be aware of: many models default to "None", so you'll have to change it to "Manual" in order to fill in the proxy information.
Proxy hostname: fill in the server address provided by ipipgo.
Proxy port: corresponds to the port number given by the service provider
Proxy bypass address: fill in 127.0.0.1,localhost (to prevent problems with local applications)
The latest Huawei/Xiaomi/OPPO systems have been tested to support this operation. If the application does not recognize the system proxy, it is likely that the developer has turned off the network proxy function, and then you have to change the program.
Third-party apps take over traffic
Recommended to use ProxyDroid such open source tools (Google Play can be downloaded), focusing on three configuration points:
1. Methods of accreditation: Most of ipipgo's proxies require account password authentication
2. Types of agreements: Choose SOCKS5 for more stability than HTTP!
3. Sub-application agents: You can specify a few apps to go through the proxy without affecting other apps
The strangest situation I've encountered is that a bank app detects proxies, and this time I used a sub-application proxy to bypass it directly, which was personally tested to be effective.
API Docking Method
For the big guys who are into crawlers or automation, straight to the code examples:
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.proxy(new Proxy(Proxy.Type.
new InetSocketAddress("ipipgo dynamic IP pool address", port)))
.build();
With ipipgo.Dynamic IP PoolRemember to set the automatic switching interval, it is recommended not to be lower than 30 seconds. Their API documentation has a hidden trick: in the request header plus X-Proxy-Region parameter can specify the region node, this feature many users do not know to use.

Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Internet speed slows down after proxy setting?
A: 80% is the pot of the public proxy pool, change ipipgo's exclusive line to try, their BGP transit line can be as fast as 30%.
Q: The agent suddenly can't connect?
A: first ping the proxy address, if the timeout may be local network restrictions. ipipgo background has a list of alternate ports, cut to 443 or 8080 ports can often be solved!
Q: Do I need to switch between different regional IPs frequently?
A: Use their home directlyrotation schemeJust add the region number after the account number (e.g. usernameshanghai)
Guide to avoiding the pit
I recently discovered that some apps detectTTL valueTo determine the proxy, the solution is to do traffic forwarding on the router side (this will be a separate article later). There is also an evil situation: an e-commerce APP will detect the BSSID of WiFi, then you must use 4G network + proxy to bypass the detection.
Finally, to say a cold knowledge of the industry: now on the market 80% Android proxy tools are used in the bottom of the VNService interface, but we seriously use the proxy do not have to care about these. The point is to choose the right service provider, like ipipgo this supportHighly anonymous agentsof talent prevention detection.
