What the hell is this thing? What's a global proxy for HTTP?
To put it plainly, a global proxy is like putting a network vest on the whole phone and computer. For example, if you use the browser to download a file, send a picture on WeChat, or even play the game packet, all go through the proxy server. Unlike those who can only manage the browser plug-ins, this thing is true - full traffic takeover.
To give a chestnut, the old Zhang who does data collection recently found that the target website started to block IP. He tried a variety of rotating proxy method, the results found that some data is loaded through the third-party plug-ins, ordinary proxy simply can not cover. Later, he switched to the global mode, and all the networking requests went out from the IP of the proxy ipipgo, which completely solved the problem.

Windows users look here:
1. Press Win+R to open the control panel.
2. Go to Internet Options - Connections - LAN Settings.
3. Check the "Use proxy for LAN" box in the Proxy Server field.
4. fill in the address and port provided by ipipgo (for example, proxy.ipipgo.com:8000)
5. Remember to click OK to save and restart your browser.
Mac users don't panic:
1. 🍎Left corner 🍎Mark - System Settings - Network
2. Select "Details" to the right of the current network.
3. Go to the Proxy tab and select Auto Proxy Configuration.
4. Fill in the PAC address or manually enter the proxy info.
5. Test the ipipgo website to see if it works.
Don't step on these potholes.
I've seen a lot of people set it up and think everything is fine, only to find out:
- ❌ Fireproofing with antivirus software on without whitelisting
- ❌ Forgot to turn off the proxy plugin that comes with the browser
- ❌ Failure to pay attention to proxy protocol types (HTTP/HTTPS to be distinguished)
We recommend using ipipgo's testing tool to see if it works. Their client has a real-time traffic monitoring, you can see which programs go through the proxy, especially intuitive.
Why do you recommend ipipgo?
| Requirement Scenarios | Recommended Packages |
|---|---|
| General crawler/data collection | Dynamic residential (standard) $7.67/GB |
| Enterprise-class data cleansing | Dynamic residential (business) $9.47/GB |
| Long-term fixed IP requirements | Static Residential $35/IP |
Their family has a unique skill--TK LineThe first time I saw a customer doing cross-border e-commerce. Last time, a cross-border e-commerce customer, with ordinary agents always be platform wind control. After switching to TK line, the IP pools are all the resources of local operators in the target area, and the camouflage degree is directly pulled full.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: After setting up the proxy, the Internet speed becomes slow?
A: 80% of the nodes are not selected correctly. ipipgo client has a smart routing function, can automatically select the node with the lowest latency. If you cut manually, it is recommended that you choose a node that is close to your business target area.
Q:Can't I use some software with proxy on?
A: Try their sub-application proxy feature. For example, let WeChat go direct connection and browser go proxy. Just check the apps that need to be proxied in the client settings.
Q: How do I know if the proxy is active?
A: Visit the IP detection page on ipipgo's official website to see the current exit IP and attribution. Their detection interface also comes with ASN information, which can confirm if it is a real residential IP
Lastly, when it comes to business that requires account binding (such as social media operations), it is highly recommended to use a static residential IP. Dynamic IPs are cheaper, but the old IPs are prone to triggering the platform's security mechanisms. ipipgo's static IPs are real home broadband resources, much more reliable than server room IPs.
