How to get a proxy server address: a complete list of proxy address acquisition methods

What's the point of having a proxy IP? Let's get this straight!

Now engaged in network projects, eight out of ten to touch the agent, like doing e-commerce have to use packing tape as common. To give a chestnut, do data collection of the iron most afraid of being blocked IP, this time to change a proxy is like wearing a vest out - the site simply can not recognize who you are. There are also some scenarios that require multi-account operation, such as social media operations, if you don't use a proxy, the account will be blocked for you in a minute.

Where to weed free agents? This trick teaches you to whore

It is true that there are some free agent resources on the Internet, but it is like picking up leaves in the market, you have to spend time picking and choosing. Here are a few common ways:

1. Public proxy sites

These sites are regularly updated with a list of free proxies, but the quality is... well... if you've used them, you know. Frequently asked questions are included:
- Short survival time (maybe half an hour)
- The speed is sensational (you can load a web page and go make a cup of tea)
- Questionable security (beware of man-in-the-middle attacks)

2. Browser plug-ins

Some plug-ins provide temporary proxy services, suitable for temporary emergency use. But be careful not to install plug-ins of unknown origin, beware of stealing your account password.

 Python Example - Checking Proxy Availability
import requests

proxy = {"http": "123.45.67.89:8080"}
try: resp = requests.get('', proxies=proxies)
    resp = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/ip', proxies=proxy, timeout=5)
    print("Available proxies:", resp.json())
except.
    print("This proxy is dead, move to the next one!")

Serious work depends on paid services.

If you want to be reliable and worry-free, you have to be a professional agency service provider. Here must be favorable to ouripipgo, as veteran drivers who do projects know:

With his family API extraction agent is super convenient, support HTTP/HTTPS/Socks5 three protocols. The point is that you can customize the program on demand, do overseas business with TK line, engage in search engine with SERP dedicated channel.

// Example of calling the ipipgo API
curl -X GET "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy"
-H "Authorization: Bearer your_api_key"
-d "country=us&protocol=socks5"

How do you play for ashes players? Build your own proxy server

This one is for tech geeks, who need to rent their own server to build it. Common options are:

1. Overseas VPS deployment

Pick a reliable cloud provider (be careful not to pick one of those super cheap pheasant providers) and install a Squid or server. It's expensive to maintain though, and you'll have to mess with it again if your IP gets blocked.

2. Dynamic IP for home broadband

Use the redial function of your home broadband to get a new IP, and work with DDNS to realize dynamic resolution. However, you know the IP quality of ordinary home broadband, and it is easy to roll over when doing serious business.

Practical QA: a must-see guide for newbies to avoid pitfalls

Q: Why does the agent I bought expire after I use it?
A: This situation is common in low-quality proxy pools, good service providers will automatically filter failed nodes. Like ipipgo's enterprise version of the package has a real-time monitoring mechanism, the failure ratio can be controlled within 5%.

Q: What if I need to manage a large number of agents at the same time?
A: It is recommended to use a proxy management tool, such as with ProxyMesh to do automatic switching. ipipgo's client comes with an intelligent routing function, which can automatically select the node with the lowest latency.

Q: Which agent type to choose for overseas business?
A: Cross-border special line is the king! Ordinary proxy cross-border latency is high, not to mention the possibility of being recognized by the target site. ipipgo's cross-border dedicated line measured latency is lower than the ordinary proxy 60%, the success rate to improve significantly.

What are the hard indicators to look for when choosing a service provider?

Here's a self-test checklist:
✓ Whether to support pay-per-use (to avoid waste)
✓ Availability of IP type selection (residential/computer room)
✓ Availability of trial services (only those who dare to try are reliable)
✓ Availability of 24-hour technical support (problems can be solved in a timely manner)

Lastly, I'd like to say: don't buy those cheap agent packages that are sold by the pound, when the time comes to be blocked and cry too late. Professional things to professional people, like ipipgo support a variety of protocols with customized services, is the correct way to do serious projects. Especially their 1v1 program customization, encounter special needs directly to technical customer service nagging, than their own blind online tutorials much stronger.
