First, what is a tunnel agent? Why should I choose the one with no traffic limit?
When many people engage in web crawling or bulk account registration, the situation they are most afraid of encountering is theIP blockedThe tunnel proxy is like a revolving door for your network requests. This is where you need to have a reliable proxy IP service provider, and tunneling proxies are like a revolving door for your network requests - a different face every time you enter or exit.
The biggest pitfall of regular proxy IPs isflow rate billingThe tunnel agent of ipipgo will give you the green light to use unlimited traffic at any time. To cite a real case: an e-commerce price comparison team, the original monthly traffic to spend more than two thousand dollars, replaced with unlimited packages directly save the money, but also 24 hours a day without stopping to run data.
Second, three strokes to teach you to pick the right tunnel agent
Here's a solid comparison table for the guys, so you'll know what to choose after reading it:
| comparison term | General Agent | ipipgo tunneling proxy |
|---|---|---|
| flow rate limitation | Capped at 50G per month | No limit. Use whatever you want. |
| IP replacement method | manual switching | automatic rotation |
| connection speed | 200-500ms | 80-150ms |
Focusing on the speed parameter in the third line, ipipgo uses theBGP hybrid lineThe simple fact is that it automatically selects the fastest network channel. Last time I helped my friend to test, it took half a minute to download a 10MB file with an ordinary proxy, but it was shortened to 8 seconds with ipipgo's tunnel proxy.
Third, the hands-on configuration tutorial
Here's an example of Python to show you how to access it quickly:
import requests
Setting up the proxy tunnel
proxy = {
'http': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020',
'https': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
}
response = requests.get('http://example.com', proxies=proxy)
print(response.text)
Be careful to replace username and password with your own authentication information that you got from the ipipgo backend. One pitfall that newbies tend to step into isForgot to whitelistRemember to add the local IP to the whitelist list in the console, otherwise you will not be able to connect.
IV. Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Will I be recognized by the website if I use this?
A: ipipgo's IP pool is updated with 200,000+ IPs every day, and the survival time of each IP is controlled at 15-30 minutes, and it is personally tested that 100 consecutive requests have not triggered the verification.
Q: What should I do if I can't connect suddenly?
A: First check three points: 1. whether the account expires 2. whether the local network is normal 3. whether the whitelist configuration is correct. If you can't, their technical support response is quite fast, the last time at 2:00 a.m. to mention the work order actually have someone to reply.
Q: What agreements are supported?
A: HTTP/HTTPS/Socks5 are fine, but be aware that some sites will block Socks5, it is recommended to use HTTP first to test the water.
V. How to play with advanced features?
There's one in the back office of ipipgo.Intelligent RoutingThe function of the giant practical, you can specify a business to go to a specific region of the line. For example, if you are doing cross-border e-commerce and need to get data from the United States, Japan, and Southeast Asia at the same time, you can create three separate tunnels in the console without interfering with each other.
Another hidden trick isconcurrency controlAlthough it says unlimited traffic, but don't open 1000 threads at once to rush. It is recommended that newcomers start with 50 concurrency, according to the actual situation slowly upward. Last week, a customer did not listen to advice directly open 500 concurrency, the results of their own local bandwidth burst ...
One last piece of cold knowledge: many of my peers don't realize that ipipgo's tunneling proxy supportUDP protocolThis is especially useful for teams doing real-time data monitoring. But remember to find customer service to open the permission before use, the default is not open.
