Tunnel http proxy: Tunnel HTTP proxy configuration and encryption scheme

Handy Tunnel Agent

Engaged in the old iron of the network crawler should understand that some sites anti-climbing mechanism is like a thief. This time it is necessary toTunnel Agentto be your "cloak of invisibility", today we will nag this utility how to configure the most economical.

Figure out what the hell a tunneling agent is.

Normal proxies are like one-way tickets, where the connection has to be re-established for each request. Tunneling proxies, on the other hand, are more likededicated channelThe connection is established once and can be used repeatedly. To give a chestnut, it is like opening a VIP channel in the courier station, the parcel does not need to queue up for security check every time, directly brush through.

There's a hidden perk to using ipipgo's home tunnel proxy: theirTK LineSelf-encryption buff, more than ordinary agents to carry traffic detection. The actual test with their agent collection of an e-commerce platform, the success rate from 43% directly soared to 91%, the effect is real enough, right?

Three-step configuration without asking for help

Don't be intimidated by the jargon, the configuration is actually easier than cooking instant noodles:

 Python example (remember to install the requests library)
import requests

proxy = "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
resp = requests.get("https://目标网站", proxies={'http': proxy, 'https': proxy})

 Key Parameter Description:
 Username and password can be found in ipipgo personal center.
 The port number can be found on the package details page.

If you were using Node.js, the code would look like this:

const axios = require('axios');
const proxy = {
  host: 'gateway.ipipgo.com',
  port: port number, const
  auth: {username: 'account name', password: 'password'}
};

axios.get('https://目标网站', {proxy})
  .then(response => console.log(response.data));

Last time I helped a friend debugging crawler, with ordinary proxy 10 minutes to be blocked, change this program for two consecutive days to run all right.

Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit

Q: What can I do if the agent can't connect?
First check the three elements: account name/password/port is not wrong → confirm whether the package expires → try to switch encryption mode

Q: What happened to the sudden slowdown?
It may be that the current exit IP is restricted, add a retry mechanism in the code to fix it. If you use ipipgo, we recommend you to enable theirIntelligent Routingfunction to automatically switch the optimal line.

Q: What if I need to manage multiple agents at the same time?
Directly using their client tool, you can monitor the status of 20+ proxy channels at the same time. There's an old guy who works on a price comparison site, and he's been able to increase his O&M efficiency by 3 times with this feature.
