ip proxy blacklist and whitelist: IP black and white list configuration program

What's the point of this blacklisting whitelisting anyway?

When people use proxy IPs, they are afraid of encountering two situations: either their business IPs are blocked by the target website, or there are proxy IPs in the received proxy IPs that can't be used. At this timeBlack and white list mechanismIs a life saver. To give a real example, just like the neighborhood access control system, the white list is registered owners of license plates automatically lift the bar, black list is specifically to stop those who send small ads van.

In ipipgo's backend management system, we have a double insurance mechanism for users. Whitelisting is suitable for fixed business scenarios, such as your company's server IPs to call APIs for a long time, just whiten these IPs. The black list is more suitable for dealing with unexpected situations, such as the sudden emergence of abnormal traffic, directly pull black to save energy.

Practical Configuration Manual (with code pitfalls)

Let's start with an easy pitfall: many people get the black and white lists backwards! Remember.White lists are permission lists, black lists are prohibition lists. When you configure it in the ipipgo client, pay attention to the switch status, here is a Python example:

 Whitelist validation example (note the timeout setting)
import requests
proxies = {
    'http': 'http://user:pass@proxy.ipipgo.cc:24000',
    'https': 'http://user:pass@proxy.ipipgo.cc:24000'
}

try.
    resp = requests.get('https://api.target.com',
                      timeout=5) This timeout parameter is important!
                      timeout=5) This timeout parameter is important!
This timeout parameter is important!
    except Exception as e: print(f "IP is blocked: {str(e)}")

Notice in the code above that thetimeout=5This parameter, many newbies will miss. If the target website pulls our IP black, the request will be stuck, set the timeout can find the problem in time.

How to choose solutions for different business scenarios

A useful table for you based on our ipipgo customer statistics:

Here's the kicker.Account Management ScenariosThe first thing is that many people feel safe with dynamic IP, but in fact, it is very wrong! Platform wind control will detect the frequency of IP changes, with ipipgo's static residential IP, fixed a few real-life residential IP in turn, but a higher pass rate.

Seven questions you must be asking

Q: What should I do if my whitelisted IP is leaked?
A: Turn it on in the ipipgo backendtwo-factor authenticationIf you want to set a limit on the number of IP addresses you can bind to, you can do so. In case of leakage, immediately click the "Emergency Fuse" button on the console.

Q: What should I do if my normal IP is mistakenly blocked by the blacklist?
A: It is recommended to start withObservation ModeRunning for 24 hours, the ipipgo system will automatically flag suspicious IPs and manually review them before pulling the plug on them

Q: Configured whitelist still blocked?
A: Check three points: 1. whether the protocol header is correct 2. whether to open the global proxy 3. whether the IP belongs to the match (such as the United States site with a Hong Kong IP)

A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls (Blood Lessons Edition)

Last year there was a cross-border e-commerce customer, bought TK dedicated IP in ipipgo, as a result, because did not set up a whitelist, was used by employees to watch video sites, resulting in IP segments were blocked. Later we gave the solution:

1. Setting up egress whitelisting at the router level
2. Physical separation of office and proxy networks
3. Weekly automatic replacement of 30% IP pools

Now that their IP availability is stabilized at over 98%, the focus is toRegular maintenance of the List database, don't set it up and then leave it alone.

Recommended ipipgo program

For clients with different budgets, we recommend:

• Start-up team: selectionDynamic residential (standard)Package, $7.67/GB is enough for trial and error
• Business users: directly onStatic Residential IP35RMB/IP can bind the store account.
• Special needs: find customer service to open1v1 Customized SolutionsFor example, a compliant IP program for the healthcare industry

Finally remind: encounter IP is blocked do not rush to change the provider, first ipipgo'sdiagnostic toolUnder the test, many times it is a list configuration problem. Once the customer said that the IP can not be used, but it turned out that he had blacklisted the local IP, this thing we can laugh for three years.
