Mac proxy settings: Mac system proxy configuration diagrams

A handful of proxy switches to find your Mac

A lot of partners for the first time to set up a proxy with Mac, like into a maze to find the north. Let's start by tapping the small apple icon in the upper left corner of theSystem Settings→Network→Three dots in the lower right corner→Proxy ConfigurationThis path hides the entrance to the proxy settings. Here you should be careful to choose the right type of network, WiFi if you are connected to WiFi, Ethernet if you are plugged into a network cable.

As a chestnut, when you want to use ipipgo's Socks5 proxy, check the SOCKS proxy in the proxy type and fill in the IP address and port number they provide. There's a pitfall to be aware of here:Don't be a fool and put your account password in the username and password field., ipipgo's authentication information is embedded directly in the API link.

Second, different scenarios of the configuration of the magic trick

It is particularly important to select protocols based on business needs:

HTTP proxy: suitable for basic web browsing needs
HTTPS proxy: encrypted transmission is more secure
Socks5: UDP protocol support, smoother game or video

For example, if you are doing cross-border e-commerce, it is recommended to check both theWeb Proxy (HTTP) and Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS)两个选项。ipipgo的跨境专线在这个场景下特别香，能压到200ms以内。

Third, detect whether the proxy is effective tart operation

Don't rush to close the window after setting it up, I'll teach you a few verification poses:

1. Open a terminal and typecurl cip.ccThe IP shown is not local, that's right.
2. Visit the IP detection page on the ipipgo website to see real-time exit addresses
3. Suddenly can not open the web page? It is likely that the proxy is not properly configured, quickly check the port is not correct!

Fourth, senior users only know the hidden skills

When using ipipgo's API to automatically extract proxies, you can play with it like this:

 Refresh the proxy pool at regular intervals
/30 curl https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy?key=YOUR_KEY >> proxy_list.txt

VI. Why ipipgo?

Their dynamic residential packages are really great, with a cabbage price of $7.67/GB and automatic IP replacement. If you are doing data collection, you can enter the static residential package for 35 dollars to enjoy a fixed IP address.TK Line, do cross-border e-commerce know it all.

Finally, a hidden benefit: find customer service to customize the program to be able to mix different types of agents. For example, 80% traffic with dynamic residential, 20% critical business with cross-border line, so the cost can be cut down by 30%. However, this game must be consumed more than 500GB per month to unlock, the general public I do not tell him.
