Proxy IP supports IPv6/IPv4: Dual Stack Proxy IP Service Recommendation

Can't figure out IPv6 and IPv4?

Let's think of an IP address as a door number. Older neighborhoods use door signs in IPv4 format, such as192.168.1.1, but with only 4.3 billion number plates in total, it's long overdue. New neighborhoods have switched to IPv6 format, similar to the2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334, can provide 340 trillion billion billion billion billion number plates, more than the sand on the earth.

Nowadays, many websites open both old and new doors, such as the website you use only recognizes IPv4 addresses, at this time the dual-stack proxy can automatically switch, just like carrying a master key string. Our test found that using pure IPv4 proxy to access certain government websites, the failure rate can reach more than 30%.

Three real-world scenarios for dual-stack proxies

Scene 1:Crawlers keep getting counter-crawled? Many websites will recognize machine traffic based on IP version type. We have a customer with a single-stack proxy, the success rate of the request is only 65%, after switching to a dual-stack proxy directly soared to 92%!

Scene 2:Attention for those who do overseas e-commerce! Amazon certain regional sites have begun to force IPv6 access, last year, during the double eleven, with dual-stack agent of the store loading speed than peers 2.3 seconds faster!

Scene 3:Those who play handheld games should have encountered this situation: using 4G network (IPv6) can not connect to the game server (IPv4). At this point, you need a dual-stack proxy, which is equivalent to installing a network translator on your phone.

Hands-on with ipipgo Dual Stack Proxy

First of all, a cold knowledge: ipipgo's proxy nodes will automatically recognize the protocols supported by the target site, there is no need to manually switch. Here is an example of API extraction:

 Get dual-stack proxy
import requests
url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/get?type=dual&count=5"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer your key"}
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.json())

The return result will contain both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, like this:

{
  "ipv4": "203.34.56.78:8080",
  "ipv6": "2001:db8::1234:5678:9012:3456:7890"
}

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Do I have to use IPv6 now?
A: Domestic mainstream websites are still dual-stack coexisting. But like Beijing Mobile's broadband users, there are already 70% or more traffic going IPv6

Q: Are dual stack agents more expensive?
A: ipipgo's dual-stack service does not charge extra, and the same price as a single-stack agent. In fact, the maintenance cost is carried by us, users just use it!

Q: Do I need to configure my own network protocol?
A: No need at all! The client will automatically detect the network environment. For example, if you are in a pure IPv6 network, it will automatically select IPv6 outlets, and the whole process is senseless switching!

A little industry insider knowledge.

Many claim to support dual-stack service providers, in fact, the IPv4 traffic through the conversion gateway to IPv6, which will produce 20% or so performance loss. ipipgo is a real native dual-stack node, there are more than 200 countries around the world with local resource pools, and this month just added a new node in Africa dual-stack support.

Finally remind: do cross-border e-commerce friends try to choose static residential packages, although more expensive, but the account security coefficient doubled. We have a do TikTok live customers, change the static IP after the live room weight significantly increased, the conversion rate rose more than 3 times.
