Proxy https: HTTPS proxy setup process analysis

Hands-on with HTTPS Proxy Settings

Web developers know that nine times out of ten websites are now encrypted with HTTPS. Want to use a normal HTTP proxy to handle this encrypted traffic? You don't have to! Today, we will give you a clear break how to use proxy IP to deal with HTTPS requests, take our industry benchmark ipipgo's service as an example.

The one and only secret of HTTPS proxies

Ordinary proxies are blind when it comes to sites with small locks, why? Because HTTPS usesMimi connection(Note that it is not a typo, and purposely emphasizes that encryption is as sticky as honey). This is where you need a proxy that supports the CONNECT method, which is the equivalent of building an encrypted tunnel between the client and the server.

Browser settings in action

Using Chrome as an example, remember this universal configuration format:ip:port@account:passwordUsers of ipipgo fill in the authentication information they give directly in the proxy settings in three steps:

1. Open Settings-Advanced-System
2. Open Proxy Settings
3. fill in the proxy address such as 123.123.123.123:8888
   Fill in the password field with the key provided by ipipgo.

A Guide to Code Docking Without Rollover

Python veterans look here, the requests library to match so:

import requests

proxies = {
    'https': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
}
response = requests.get('https://目标网站.com', proxies=proxies)

Note that here the account password should be changed to the one you generated in the ipipgo console.dynamic keyIt's safer to have an automatic refresh every 20 minutes.

Hidden Tips for Mobile

Android users can long press the current network in the WIFI settings, select Modify Network → Advanced Options → Manual Proxy. Here is a pitfall to note: some models need to change the proxy address of thehttp://The prefix is deleted and the IP and port are filled in directly.

QA First Aid Station

Q: I've set up the proxy but I can't connect to it?
A：先检查三要素：IP是否存活（去ipipgo后台看）、端口对不对、账号有没有过期。八成是账号密码里特殊符号没转义，比如@符号要改成%40

Q: How do I test if the proxy birth is not in effect?
A: Visit the official website of ipipgo provided by thedetection interfaceIf the IP returned is a proxy IP, it means it's successful. Don't use those free query sites, be careful to leak the proxy IP!

Q: What about enterprise-level requirements?
A: Directly find ipipgo customer service to open a whitelist, supportconcurrent authenticationrespond in singingIP Binding. Their enterprise package can also be customized with heartbeat detection and automatic failover of failed nodes.

The doorway to choosing a proxy service

The market is full of proxy service providers, but the reliable ones have to look at these hard indicators:

• IP pool size (ipipgo has 20 million + dynamic residential IPs)
• Heartbeat detection rate (30 seconds/beat in their house)
• Authentication method (support key rotation + IP whitelist double protection)

说到底，HTTPS代理设置就是个精细活儿。关键得找对服务商，像ipipgo这种支持多协议栈的，设置起来能省心一大半。遇到问题别自己死磕，他们家技术客服24小时在线，响应速度比外卖小哥送餐还快！
