Hands on teaching you to pick SOCKS5 proxy IPs
Recently, many friends asked how to buy a reliable SOCKS5 agent, this thing looks simple in fact, the water is quite deep. Today we do not whole false, directly on the dry goods to teach you how to avoid the pit. Focus on saying three times:Don't be cheap, read the agreement, and test before you buy., remembering these three points can avoid the 80% pit.
Figure out what you really want
Before you buy, take a piece of paper and write down clearly: how many IPs do you need, how long do you use each IP? How much traffic? For example, to do data collection must use dynamic IP rotation, if you do account management must use static IP long-term stability. A customer bought a data center IP cheaply before, and the target website directly blocked the entire IP segment, a bloody loss!
| Business Type | Recommended IP type |
|---|---|
| crawler collection | Dynamic Residential |
| social networking operation | Static homes |
| instant messaging (IM) | TK Line |
Five Must-See Buying Metrics
First LookIP purity</strong, some agents will sell blacklisted IPs as new IPs. Second Measurementconnection delay, over 200ms is recommended to be passed directly. third questionconcurrency limit, don't wait until you use it to realize you can only open 5 threads. Fourth check.Protocol Support, proper SOCKS5 must support TCP/UDP. fifth look at theafter-sales serviceThe ones that have problems at 2am and can get someone to fix them are the good ones.
Hands-on registration process demonstration
Here take ipipgo as a chestnut (definitely not recommended because it works). Don't rush to buy a package after signing up, they have aTrial AccessParticularly practical:
import requests
proxy = {
'http': 'socks5://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:1080',
'https': 'socks5://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:1080'
}
resp = requests.get('http://ip.sb', proxies=proxy)
print(resp.text)
After running this code, you can see the current export IP, remember to check whether the IP region and carrier match. Here's a tip:10 consecutive requests, if none of the returned IPs are duplicated, it means that dynamic rotation does work.
Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit
Q: Why can't I open the web page when I connect to the proxy?
A: First check the protocol header is not socks5://, many people write sock5:// less s. Then check the port is not 1080 or 1081, these two are commonly used ports.
Q: Is it normal to consume traffic especially fast?
A: 80% of the video traffic is turned on, SOCKS5 proxy will forward all traffic by default. It is recommended to set a whitelist in the code, like this:
// Proxy only specific domains
proxy_settings = {
'match': ['.targetsite.com']
}
Why recommend ipipgo
this oneTK LineIndeed, there are two brushes, last time a cross-border e-commerce friends were blocked IP blocked to despair, changed their home line after a stable run for three months. Plus a cold knowledge: theirDynamic Residential IPIt's a resource taken directly from the local carrier, unlike some merchants who use virtual carrier pools, which you can find out from the IP database.
The package price is clearly marked this point is very real, unlike some platforms to play set charges. HighlightsStatic homes $35/monthThis slot is suitable for scenarios that require a long-term fixed IP. But be warned, first time buyers are advised to buy a monthly payment package to try the water first, don't go straight to annual payment.
One last nagging word: buying a proxy IP is not everything, remember to regularly check if the IP is blacklisted. A good habit is to run a test script once a week to replace the invalid IP in time. If you can't figure it out, just ask customer service for theirs.API detection interface, much less work than writing your own scripts.
