User agent socks5 proxy: user agent + SOCKS5 dual protocol proxy program

What happens when user agents meet socks5?

Recently a lot of friends who do e-commerce complained to me that they always encountered CAPTCHA bombing with ordinary agents. This reminds me of one I helped match last year.User agent + socks5 dual protocol solution, the effect is much more stable than a single protocol. To give a chestnut, it's like putting two layers of boxes on a courier package, and the transit station can't even guess what's inside.

The user agent (UA) we are talking about here does not mean the browser logo, but the request is forwarded through an intermediate server. With the authentication mechanism of socks5, it is equivalent to double insurance for network requests. ipipgo's engineer Lao Zhang told me that 20% users on their platform are using this combination of solutions, especially in scenarios that require long-term stable connections.

// Python sample code (remember to replace username with your own)
import requests

proxies = {
    
    'https': 'socks5://user:pass@ipipgo-proxy:1080', 'https': 'socks5://user:pass@ipipgo-proxy:1080'
}

headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) ipipgo-client/1.2'}

resp = requests.get('https://目标网站', proxies=proxies, headers=headers)

Hands On Dual Protocol for Value Assignment

Let's start with a few easy pitfalls:

1. Do not reverse the order of agreements: Be sure to go through the user agent layer before entering the socks5 channel, like putting on socks before shoes. ipipgo's control panel has ready-to-use configuration templates, so just copy them directly.

2. Heartbeat mechanism should be on: It is recommended to send a heartbeat packet every 5 minutes, ipipgo's background can automatically renew the session. Previously there is a brother to do crawler did not open this, the results of the middle of the night task all broken.

Why do you recommend ipipgo?

After using seven or eight proxy services, I finally chose ipipgo because of three main points:

① Dedicated Export IP Pool: Their residential IPs are exclusive, unlike some platforms where dozens of people share them. One time I ran a 72 hour continuous collection and not a single captcha jumped.

② Protocol stacks can be customized: Support for free combination of HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 protocols in the console, like my dual-protocol solution can be configured directly in the cloud, without having to build their own transit server.

(iii) Flow traceabilityThe background can check the hourly traffic consumption, accurate to each exit IP. last month to help me save 30% traffic charges, because found a proxy node configuration is wrong.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Does dual protocol cost more traffic?
A: The actual test consumes about 8% more traffic, but ipipgo's traffic package buy 3 get 1 free, the calculation is more cost-effective

Q: What should I do if I encounter a connection timeout?
A: First check if the UA header is recognized, we suggest using the UA library provided by ipipgo for random rotation. Their tech support responds pretty quickly, last time I raised a work order at 2am, I got a reply in ten minutes.

Q: Can it be used on mobile?
A: Android needs to be rooted to install the certificate, iOS is more troublesome. It is recommended to deploy the program on the server side and access the data through API, so that both cell phones and computers can be used.

Finally, a piece of cold knowledge: ipipgo's SOCKS5 node supports UDP forwarding, so you can try it if you do real-time data collection. But remember to open the UDP switch in the console, the default is off. What do not understand the direct customer service to find them to configure the manual, the new version of the PDF have detailed illustrations.
