Office static ip address: office network static IP configuration

Why toss static IPs for office networks?

The old iron engaged in the company's network management understand, three days to change the IP can make people crazy. In the morning is still using the punch card system, afternoon suddenly can not connect, a check found that the public network IP was changed by the operator. At this time if there is afixed IP address, just like your own house number, the device can be connected as much as you want.

Let's take a real example: our company used a cloud customer service system, the results of one day suddenly prompted "illegal access", is because the cloud service provider detected frequent changes in the login IP. Changed to ipipgo static residential IP, directly to the IP address lock, as with the server to do an ID card, and then there was no problem.

Hands-on with static IPs

Don't be intimidated by the jargon, it's really just three steps:

1. ask ipipgo customer service for a dedicated IP address (we recommend the $35/month static residential package)
2. Fill in the router with the IP address, subnet mask and gateway they gave you.
3. test the stability of the external network access

Here's a pitfall to be aware of: many tutorials let you change the IP directly on your computer, which doesn't work well in an office network. You have to change the IP address on theRouter or fire protectionlevel configuration in order to ensure that the entire office network uses a fixed IP.

How is Proxy IP better than traditional solutions?

In the past, companies have to look for carriers to buy a dedicated line to engage in fixed IP, without a million dollars to come down. Now with ipipgo's static residential IP, it's equivalent to breaking up the carrier's resources and selling them:

• Price as little as 1/10th of a dedicated line ($35/IP/month)
• No need to sign a long term contract, stop as you go
• Ability to select city-specific carrier lines

Particularly suited to these scenarios:

1. Networking of surveillance systems in store chains
2. Cross-regional OA system docking
3. Multi-account management for e-commerce stores

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: What is the difference between static IP and dynamic IP?
A: Simply put, it is the difference between a hotel room card and your own key. Dynamic IP is randomly assigned every time you connect to the Internet, and static IP is always fixed.

Q: Do I still need a proxy IP if I've already bought a cloud server?
A: It depends! If the business needs to access the cloud server from a fixed location (such as a company), it is recommended to pair it with a static proxy IP, which is much safer than exposing the cloud server IP directly.

Q: How do I choose between the three packages of ipipgo?
A: Note the conclusion directly:

• General Internet Selection Dynamic Standard ($7.67/GB)
• Enterprise Applications Select Dynamic Enterprise ($9.47/GB)
• Must use fixed IPThe choice of static homes ($35/IP)

Guide to avoiding the pit

A recent minefield I stepped on while helping a client deploy:

1. Don't be greedy and choose a dynamic package, the result is that the IP changes in three days.
2. Be sure to test it after you configure it.IP Effective Area(using ipipgo's detection tool)
3. Remember to whitelist to prevent IP abuse

If you're not sure, just ask the ipipgo tech guy for a1v1 Customized Solutions. They can recommend the most appropriate configuration based on the company's specific business situation, such as how many people use it and which systems they primarily access.
