Why the paid version?
Free agents are like roadside stalls and snacks, and they suffer from eating a bad stomach. Especially for those who are doing data collection, the free agent's account will be blocked if it is light, or it will be a lawsuit directly. Paid SK5 agent is equivalent to the Michelin restaurant kitchen, three hardcore advantages:
1. The line is as solid as an old dog's.: you won't get disconnected while you're using it, as anyone who's done automated scripting knows!
2. Speed to the max.: measured 3-5 times faster than free agents, especially when dealing with image verification codes
3. Privacy protection in place: Real residential IPs mixed in with regular users, can't tell it's a machine operation at all

Nanny Level Tutorial
Take ipipgo as an example of a three-step configuration:
Step 1: Extract Proxy Information
import requests
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/get_proxy"
params = {
"key": "Your API key",
"protocol": "socks5",
"count": 10
}
response = requests.get(api_url, params=params)
print(response.json())
Step 2: Client Configuration
After downloading the official client, find the web proxy module in the settings. Fill in the obtained IP:port and choose username/password for authentication (can be generated in the user center).
Step 3: Verify connectivity
curl --socks5 username:password@IP address:port https://ip.ipipgo.com
If you see that the returned IP is not the same as the actual IP, it means that the configuration is successful
