What can a proxy IP really do? These are the scenarios you probably use every day
Many people think that the proxy IP is to engage in technology will use, in fact, theWe ordinary users have been using it for years without realizing it.The IP address of the device is the same as the IP address of the device you're using. To give a chestnut, when you compare prices in a certain treasure, different devices see different offers, here is the head of the IP address of the credit. Doing micro-business friends to send promotional information to customers, if you always use the same IP to send, a minute by the platform blocked.
In all seriousness, proxy IPs help us solve three main problems:
1. Avoidance of operations identified as robotic behavior
2. When there is a need to simulate users in different regions
3. When certain platforms limit the frequency of visits
Full protocol support isn't just a bluff. It's a lifesaver in a pinch.
Proxy service providers on the market always love to say that they support a variety of protocols, but when it comes to use often fall off the chain. Like our ipipgo platform tested scenarios, some niche protocols such as socks4a, in crawling a specific site is better than http. Here to give you a list of commonly used protocol control table:
| Protocol type | Applicable Scenarios | pace |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP/HTTPS | Web browsing, API calls | ★★★★☆ |
| SOCKS5 | Game acceleration, file transfer | ★★★☆☆☆ |
| WebSocket | Real-time communications, live data | ★★★★★ |
Highlight.WebSocket protocolNowadays, many APPs rely on this to push real-time messages. If the proxy service provider doesn't support it, the data delay can kill people. Last week, a customer doing live monitoring changed our ipipgo's WS proxy, and the data latency dropped directly from 3 seconds to 200 milliseconds.
Hands-on with ipipgo for time-sensitive tasks
Here to show you a real case: do e-commerce friends to monitor the price changes of 20 platforms, with a single IP is easy to be blocked. With the dynamic proxy pool we provide can be operated in this way:
import requests
proxy = "http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:8080"
url = "https://example.com/api"
resp = requests.get(url, proxies={
"http": proxy, "https": proxy, "https": proxy
"https": proxy
}, timeout=10)
print(resp.text)
Be careful to set a reasonable timeout, no more than 15 seconds is recommended. In case of connection failure, remember to configure the logic of automatically switching to the standby node, which can be copied directly from the code snippets readily available in our developer documentation.
A must-see guide to avoiding the pitfalls for beginners
The three most common mistakes newbies make:
1. think that all proxies can be used for a long time (in fact, dynamic IP recommendations)5-10 minutes to change)
2. not paying attention to protocol matching (e.g. using http proxy to connect to socks service)
3. Can't afford to buy paid services (free agent 99% leaks data)
We recommend that when you are just starting out, you open a pay-per-use package in the ipipgo back office to test the waters. We have a 30% discount on the first order for new users, and the cost of testing is just a cup of milk tea money.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Does proxy IP affect internet speed?
A: A good proxy should be like nonexistent, the average latency of our ipipgo's BGP line is within 80ms!
Q: What if I need to use many IPs at the same time?
A: directly on the dynamic proxy pool service, support concurrent 500 + connections, remember to use the session hold function
Q: How to deal with IP blocking?
A: Enable smart rotation mode on the console and set the number of failed retries (3 recommended)
Lastly, don't just look at the price when choosing a proxy service. Like us, ipipgo is a little more expensive than some small workshops, but it's better than others.With professional technical support teamIf you have a problem, you can find someone at any time.
