Browser Proxy Settings: Browser Proxy Configuration Guide

What does a browser proxy really do? Let's get real.

The guys have probably encountered this before:Logging in to the website always prompts anomalies, data collection is always blocked, multiple account operation on the blockingProxy IP is like putting a "face mask" on your browser. At this time, the proxy IP is like a browser to wear a "face mask", so that the site can not recognize your true identity. For example, if you use ipipgo's residential proxy to do e-commerce price comparison, the IP that the website sees is an ordinary home network, which is much more stable than using the IP of the server room.

Hands-on with the top 5 browser settings

Note! The settings of the portal vary quite a bit from browser to browser, it's more intuitive to organize a comparison table here:

Three of the easiest potholes to roll over in a Chrome setup

1. Don't enter the proxy address in the address bar with http://Just write the IP and port provided by ipipgo.
2. the protocol type should be clearly read, http and socks5 do not get confused
3. Remember to click "Save" after setting, many old iron set up directly after closing the page, the result is a waste of work!

// Code to test if the proxy is working
curl -x http://username:password@ip:port https://api.ipipgo.com/ipcheck

Firefox has a hidden smart feature

Firefox SupportAutomatic proxy switching by URLThis feature is not mentioned in many tutorials. For example, if you use ipipgo's dynamic residential IP to access a certain treasure, and if you use a static enterprise IP to access the enterprise OA system, you don't have to cut back and forth when you set up the rules.

What to do with mobile browsers? Look here.

It's easier to set up a mobile browser and change it directly in the WiFi settings:
1. Long press Connected WiFi → Modify Network → Advanced Options
2. proxy selection, fill in the authentication information provided by ipipgo
3. Note that the save button is in a different location for Android and iOSApple is in the top right corner, Android is at the bottom

QA session: Have you stepped on any of these potholes?

Q: What should I do if I can't open the webpage after setting up the proxy?
A: Check the IP port first, then try to verify the connectivity with the test address provided by ipipgo.

Q: The agent suddenly fails when I use it?
A: may be the IP was the target site pulled black, replaced with ipipgo rotation IP pool on the stable

Q: How do I assign proxies to multiple browsers open at the same time?
A: It is recommended to use ipipgo's API to dynamically obtain different export IPs, with each browser configured individually

Why do you recommend ipipgo?

Having used seven or eight proxy providers, I finally locked into ipipgo for three main reasons:
1. IP purity is high enough, do e-commerce operation is blocked probability straight down 60%
2. Customer service is quick to respond, the last time I reported a problem at 3:00 a.m., it took 5 minutes to deal with it.
3. Transparent pricing system, unlike some platforms that hide all kinds of hidden consumption

Recently their newLong-lasting static residential IPReally good, do social media operation brother can try. An IP can be used for a full 30 days, much more trouble-free than dynamic IP, the key is that the price has not gone up, this wave of operation is very conscientious.

Final rant:Proxy setup is not a one-offIf you are too troublesome to use ipipgo's browser plug-in, you can automatically change the IP address and set the frequency of switching, which saves you a lot of time and effort.
