Hands-on with socks5 proxies to improve productivity
Recently, a lot of small friends asked me, using ordinary proxy is always lagging off the line how to do? Especially for the data collection or game multi-opening, the IP is blocked to doubt life. Here must be favorablesocks5 protocolThis godsend is so much more stable than traditional HTTP proxies!
Why do pro gamers choose socks5?
For example, the ordinary agent is like a single lane, the data have to line up to go. socks5 directly the whole two-way eight lanes:
- Supports TCP/UDP dual protocols (those who play online games understand)
- Encrypted data transmission without fear of interception
- Flexible authentication with username and password for greater security
// Python sample code (remember to replace the proxy information with your own)
import socket
socks5_proxy = ("proxy.ipipgo.com", 1080)
username = "your_username"
password = "your_password"
Establish the proxy connection
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect(socks5_proxy)
ipipgo's one-of-a-kind tips
Tried seven or eight agencies, and finally settled on theipipgoNot without reason. His family has these masterpieces:

export SOCKS5_PWD="dx29a8s7d"
Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit
Q: What's wrong with not being able to connect to the agent all the time?
A: First check the three elements: ① IP port is not right ② whether the time is synchronized ③ whether the package expires
Q: What should I do if my download speed is not up to standard?
A: Try cutting toBGP lineThe ipipgo backend allows you to switch operators with a single click!
Q: Which is the best protocol to use for gaming scenarios?
A: Low latency with UDP protocol for shooting class, more stable with TCP for strategy class
Guide to avoiding the pit
Recently, I found that some users are fooling around with their configurations, and as a result, they are getting their IPs blocked. Key reminder:
- Don't use free proxies! 99% is all phishing!
- Request frequency controlNo more than 3 times per second
- Remember to turn it on for important operationsIP Rotation Model
One last thing, choosing an agent is like looking for a partner, don't just look at the price. ipipgo may be a bit more expensive than a small workshop, but they haveSelf-built server room + 7×24 technical support, responding in seconds to problems, that's a real money saver!
