Foxy Proxy Usage: FoxyProxy Configuration Diagrams

Hands-on teaching you to play with FoxyProxy proxy IP

Engaged in data collection partners know that the IP is blocked is a common occurrence. At this time we have to rely on proxy IP tools to renew the life of the FoxyProxy this thing with a good is really good, today we take ipipgo proxy resources to give a chestnut.

Get ready for your stuff.

First go to the browser plug-in store to glean a FoxyProxy Standard, after loading the upper right corner will appear a 🦊 icon. At this time do not rush to configure, first go to ipipgo official website to open a dynamic residential package (newbie with the standard version on the line, more than 7 yuan 1G traffic enough to play for several days).

Here's the kicker.: After getting ipipgo's API link, it is recommended to first use the client speed test they provide and pick a node with low latency and write it down. For example, on my side, the Singapore node speed is flying up, it's it!

Configuration Hands-On Teaching

Tap the fox icon to select [Options], here's a pitfall to note: Never import the configuration file directly, it's more secure to set it manually.

1. Click [Add] to create a new configuration
2. title with "ipipgo Dynamic Residential".
3. select HTTPS for proxy type (this is their default)
4. fill in the IP address of the node that you have measured.
5. port number depends on what the API returns (usually 3128)
6. authentication information to fill in the account password (do not hand shake to enter the wrong case)

Remember to check the "Use this proxy for all URLs" box when you're done, otherwise some sites will miss the proxy. At this time, open whatismyipaddress.com, and see the IP becomes Singapore!

Guide to avoiding the pit

A lot of peeps have been giving feedback on 403 errors lately, mostly for these reasons:

White QA time

Q: Why should I choose ipipgo's Dynamic Residential?
A: Their dynamic IP pool ah, more than 200 countries of the local operator resources, more reliable than those small workshop room IP. The key is that the price is friendly, more than 7 yuan 1G flow, do crawl test does not hurt.

Q: What is the difference between Enterprise and Standard editions?
A: The enterprise version of the IP survival time is longer (I heard that it can be up to 30 minutes), suitable for the need to stabilize the session of the scene. Ordinary crawlers with the standard version is enough, tycoons feel free to ~!

Q: How do I verify whether it takes effect after configuration?
A: Open the IP detection page of ipipgo official website, you can see the current proxy location used. Or directly visit Google (note that it is not for you to do bad things ah), can open it means that the configuration is successful.

Advanced Tips and Tricks

With ipipgo's API, you can play with some tawdry operations:

import requests

proxies = {
    'https': 'http://用户名:密码@node IP:port'
}
response = requests.get('target site', proxies=proxies)

This script can be used with FoxyProxy to realize automatic IP switching. remember to set the timeout time longer, some regional nodes have high latency.

Lastly, I'd like to say: don't do anything illegal with your agent! Although ipipgo's TK line is stable, it has been clearly stated that it is forbidden to use it for illegal purposes. Let's honestly do data collection, price monitoring and other serious business, in order to develop in the long term.
