Does this thing really fix web lag?
Recently, some users have been asking whether using a web proxy can cure the problem of slow loading. To put it this way, just like the rush hour subway, everyone is blocked in the same entrance, this time if there is a secret channel ... To give a real case, an e-commerce company with ordinary IP to capture data, 10 minutes to be blocked, replaced with a dynamic proxy, continuous work for 8 hours without any problems.
Here's the point:At its core, a web proxy is a way to "armor" your web requests.The website doesn't recognize who you are. Every time you visit, you change your IP address to a different one, so the site won't recognize who you are. It's like playing hide-and-seek, changing to a new place to hide every time you visit, and the one who catches you will never be able to find you.
Python example (remember to replace it with your own account)
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020",
"https": "http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020"
}
response = requests.get("destination URL", proxies=proxies)
I'm sure you've encountered these scenarios before.
Name a few grounded usage scenarios:
| take | point of pain | prescription |
|---|---|---|
| price comparison software | Always displaying the wrong price | Switching between different regional IPs |
| Ticket Snatching Tool | Frequently kicked out of the system | Automatic rotation of IP pools |
| data acquisition | Disconnect in the middle of the acquisition | Failure auto-retry mechanism |
Take ipipgo a user, they do overseas e-commerce data collection, the original use of free agents three days and two times disconnected. Change to ourLong-term residential IPAfter that, the success rate of data acquisition soared from 47% to 92%, and the key is the stable access to merchant information in specific cities.
Look for these doors when choosing a service provider
Agency services on the market are mixed, teach you three tricks to avoid the pit:
- Look at the IP type: Data center IPs are cheap but easy to identify, residential IPs are closer to real users
- Measuring Response SpeedDon't believe the advertised data, test it yourself with the ping command.
- Check survival time: Quality agents can be used for at least 6 hours
Like ipipgo's.Dynamic Mixed Dialing ServiceIt has both fast server room IPs and hard-to-recognize residential IPs. 20 threads were opened at the same time, and there were no bans within half an hour, which is especially useful for users who do batch operations.
Configuration tips that even a novice can play with
Share a few useful tips:
- Browser Settings: Find Proxy Server Configuration in Advanced Settings and fill in the address provided by ipipgo.
- Timeout setting: it is recommended to set it at 3-5 seconds, it is too short and easy to misjudgment
- IP switching strategy: according to the business needs to choose the number of times or timed switching
A client who does social media operations needs to manage multiple accounts at the same time. Use oursession hold functionI've never had a problem with account linking, and each account is bound to a fixed IP.
QA Time: I'm sure you want to ask these
Q: Will the proxy IP leak my data?
A: Regular service providers have HTTPS encryption, like ipipgo also provides double authentication, much safer than using public WiFi!
Q: Why does it slow down sometimes?
A: It may be that the current node is congested, manually switch lines in the ipipgo background, or turn on the intelligent routing mode
Q: Can one account be used by more than one person?
A: It is recommended to separate the use of different lines of business with different sub-accounts, so that good management is not easy to interfere with each other
Recently I found an interesting phenomenon: some users use proxy IP on smart home devices, saying that it can solve certain regional service restrictions. Although we don't explicitly support this usage, it does work in real-world testing...you get the idea.
