What is a WiFi proxy? What does it do?
Our daily even WiFi Internet is like walking on the road, proxy IP is to give the phone computer set a "cloak". For example, you send a courier from Beijing to Guangzhou, the middle of a transit point and then sent out, this transit point is a proxy server. With ipipgo such service providers to provide proxy IP, can help us solve many practical problems:
- Test the loading speed of the app in different regions
- Prevent frequent operation of the same IP from being restricted by the platform
- Some special scenarios require switching network outlets
Hands-on WiFi Proxy Configuration
Take Android phone as an example (Apple phone setup method is more or less the same):
- Long press the connected WiFi name > tap Modify Networks
- Find it in the advanced optionsProxy SettingsChange to manual
- Enter the proxy server address and port provided by ipipgo
- After saving the settings, it is recommended to restart the WiFi switch
Proxy server example:
Address: gateway.ipipgo.com
Port: 9021
(The specific parameters are based on the console display)

QA time: high-frequency questions in one place
Q: Does proxy IP affect internet speed?
A: There will definitely be an impact, but a good service provider can control in a reasonable range. Like ipipgo's cross-border private line package, the actual delay can be pressed to 200ms or less, brush the web page to watch the video is completely enough.
Q: Why do you recommend using a paid proxy?
A: The three major pits of free agency:
1. IP addresses have long been blacked out by major platforms
2. Internet speeds slower than a snail's pace
3. It's not likely to run away someday.
With ipipgo's Dynamic Residential package, you can buy 1GB of traffic for over $7, which is cheaper than buying a cup of milk tea.
How do I pick a proxy service provider?
There are all sorts of agency services on the market, so remember these three hard indicators:
- Is the IP pool big enough (ipipgo covers 200+ countries)
- Protocol support all or nothing (HTTP/HTTPS/Socks5 all the way)
- Does the billing make sense (use as much as you can and buy as much as you can to get the most bang for your buck)
