Why are mobile apps tossing proxy IPs?
Recently, a lot of e-commerce operation of friends and I complained that the use of cell phone batch management store account is always blocked. In fact, this matter is with our usual use of micro letter multi-open was blocked almost the same reason ---Too many accounts logged in from the same IP address, the platform tags you directly as a bot.
This is where proxy IPs come in handy. It's like putting a different "cell phone shell" on each account, and the platform sees different IP addresses. For example, if you use ipipgo's dynamic residential IP, you can randomly switch to the real user's IP every time you log in, which is much more reliable than those cheap data center IPs.
Hands-on Setup Guide for Android Phones
Take a mainstream Android as an example (the setting position may be different for different brands):
- Long press the WiFi icon to enter advanced settings
- Find "Proxy" and select "Manual" mode
- Fill in the IP address and port provided by ipipgo
- Authentication information fill in the account password (note the case)
// Example of a developer setting up a proxy in code (Java)
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.proxy(new Proxy(Proxy.Type.HTTP, new InetSocketAddress("Proxy IP", port)))
.build();
Special operating points for Apple cell phones
The iOS system is strict about proxy settings and recommends two options:
| programmatic | Applicable Scenarios | stability |
|---|---|---|
| Global Proxy (recommended) | App-wide effect is required | ★★★★ |
| In-application configuration | Specify the App to use | ★★★★★ |
The global settings are in "Settings - Wireless LAN - Current WiFi", scroll down to the bottom to see the HTTP proxy settings. Remember to turn on the "Authentication" switch when using ipipgo's static residential IP.
Old Driver's Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls
Last week there was a customer doing live monitoring, bought another proxy IP results in half an hour to be recognized. Then he switched to ipipgo.TK LineOnly then did it stabilize. Here are a couple of bloody experiences to share:
- Don't use data center IPs for operations (easily identified)
- Static residential IPs for long term tasks (expensive but stable)
- Overseas business remember to open cross-border line (speed up more than 3 times)
question-and-answer session
Q: Will proxy IPs slow down internet speed?
A: It depends on the quality of the provider. Like ipipgo's dynamic residential package, the measured latency of swiping video is within 200ms, much faster than some free proxies.
Q: Can multiple apps share a proxy?
A: It is recommended to use different IP pools for different businesses. For example, run data collection with Dynamic Residential Standard Edition and do account matrix with Enterprise Edition, so that it is not easy to string IP.
Why do you recommend ipipgo?
Last time to help customers do cross-border e-commerce data collection, tried seven or eight agents. Finally locked ipipgo on three reasons:
- Technical customer service returns work orders in seconds at 3:00 a.m. (someone is really on duty)
- Support for purchasing traffic packages on an hourly basis (a boon for small teams)
- Client comes with IP speed test function (can screen out slow nodes)
theirDynamic Residential Enterprise EditionEspecially suitable for the studio scene, more than 9 yuan 1G traffic can run 3000 + API requests, much cheaper than recruiting part-time. If you use it for a long time, remember to ask for a customized plan, and you can talk about a 30% discount for large quantities.
(Note: some functions need to confirm the latest support on the official website, Android 12 or above system is recommended to use the client configuration is more stable)
