Teach you how to use cURL to hang a proxy to access the Internet.
Crawlers should be engaged in the old iron should understand, cURL this thing is like the Swiss army knife of the network world. Today we're going to talk about how to give itacting as agent, especially with ipipgo home premium IP resources. Remember this universal formula first:
curl -x [protocol]://[account]:[password]@[IP]:[port] destination URL
Take a real example: to use HTTP proxy to access a certain treasure, this is the whole thing
curl -x http://user123:pass456@1.2.3.4:8888 https://www.taobao.com
Troubleshooting of different proxy protocols
Nowadays, there are three types of mainstream proxies, corresponding to different usage scenarios:
| Protocol type | Application | sample code (computing) |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP/HTTPS | Web crawling/interface debugging | curl -x http://1.2.3.4:8888 https://example.com |
| Socks5 | Scenarios requiring UDP support | curl --socks5 1.2.3.4:1080 https://example.com |
Here's the kicker.Account Password AuthenticationThis pitfall: many people will writeuser:pass@ip:portThe result is an error, in fact, to put the special symbols with thePercentage code处理。比如密码里有@符号就得转成%40,这个细节不注意能卡半天。
Verify that the proxy is actually working
I'm going to teach you an old-fashioned way: visit an IP testing site and look at the results. Here we recommend using ipipgo's own detection interface, which is accurate and will not expose your privacy:
curl -x http://代理IP:端口 https://api.ipipgo.com/checkip
If the result shows the proxy's IP address, it means that theMatching value successfulIf you have a 407 authentication error. If a 407 authentication error is reported, it is 80% likely that the account password was entered incorrectly, or the package traffic ran out.
QA First Aid Kit
Q: What should I do if the request times out after the proxy is set?
A: First do not panic, in this order to check: 1. local network is normal 2. proxy IP whether the expiration date 3. fire whether the interception 4. contact ipipgo customer service to check the status of the port
Q: What if I need to switch between different IPs frequently?
A: It is recommended to use ipipgo's API to obtain IP dynamically, with shell scripts to realize automatic switching. Their extraction interface response speed thief, measured 1 second can change 3 IP.
Why ipipgo?
I'm sure you'll want to brag about your own products, but let's be honest: he's got a lot to offer.Dynamic Residential PackageStarting from $7+ 1G, it's cheaper than buying milk tea.

One last hidden trick: use-vParameters to view the detailed request process, you can clearly see the proxy connection status. If you encounter a problem, look at the log first, which is much more reliable than asking people everywhere.
