Mobile 5G Proxy Service: 5G Mobile Proxy Configuration Tutorial

What does a mobile 5G agent actually do?

Nowadays, more and more people use cell phones to access the Internet, especially the 5G network speed is so fast. However, there are some scenarios in which direct networking is easy to expose the real address, such as when doing data collection, the website finds that you are the same IP repeatedly visit, and you will be blacked out in minutes. At this time, using a 5G proxy is like wearing a mask, and you can change your face every time you visit.

To give a real example: an e-commerce friend to monitor the price of competitors, with their own cell phones even brushed three days, the results of the account directly blocked. Later changed ipipgo's dynamic residential agent, each request goes to a different region of the 5G base station IP, up to now half a year have not had problems.

Hands-on with configuring 5G proxies

Here's an example of using ipipgo's API to get proxies for a scenario where Python is writing a crawler:

import requests

 API link from ipipgo backend
proxy_api = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy?key=你的密钥"

def get_fresh_ip().
    res = requests.get(proxy_api)
     return format 112.89.xx.xx:8888|Guangdong Mobile
    ip_info = res.text.split('|')
    return {
        
        'https': f'socks5://{ip_info[0]}'
    }

 Example of use
proxies = get_fresh_ip()
response = requests.get('destination URL', proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
print(response.text)

Focused attention:
1. Timeout recommended to be set within 10 seconds, 5G network response is fast
2. Remember to refresh the IP before each request
3. You can switch to a static residential package if you encounter CAPTCHA problems.

How do you play agent on mobile?

Android and Apple settings are a bit different:

The test found that Huawei phones have a pit: EMUI system will automatically detect the security of the proxy, remember to turn off the security detection function in the "more network settings".

Guidelines on demining of common problems

Q: Why does the Internet speed slow down when I connect to the proxy?
A: 80% is the protocol did not choose the right, 5G proxy to use Socks5 protocol, less than HTTP layer of encryption. If it is still slow, it is recommended to change ipipgo's TK line package.

Q：App prompts the network environment is not secure?
A: Set the cell phone time to auto update, and the time zone should be the same as the proxy IP location. For example, if you use Shanghai Mobile's IP, the time zone should be set to Eastern 8.

Q: What if I need to keep the same IP for a long time?
A: Choose static residential package, remember to add &type=static parameter after API. However, it is recommended not to exceed 24 hours, the carrier base station IP would have been refreshed periodically.

How do I pick the right package?

Give a reference based on real-world experience:

• Dynamic residential (standard): suitable for individual users, price 7.67 yuan / GB, enough to do short video surveillance
• Dynamic Residential (Enterprise): with failure retry function, choose this one if you do batch registration
• Static Residential: Scenarios that require a fixed IP, such as hangman games

There is a hidden trick: submit a work order in the background of the ipipgo said that you need to test the flow, customer service will give 3 days of experience package, this is not written on their official website, but the pro-test effective.

As a final reminder, use 5G Proxy to comply with the Cybersecurity Act, don't use it for malicious crawling or spamming. Use the tool wisely to make it last, don't you think so?
