Hands-on with high concurrency proxy configuration
Engage in high concurrency connection thing, to put it bluntly is to let a bunch of devices at the same time networking work is not stuck. For example, you open an online store to deal with hundreds of orders at the same time, or to do live streaming to multiple platforms in real time, this time the ordinary agent simply can not carry. We have to find the kind ofCan handle the pressure without crashingof agency services.
What kind of business requires high concurrency?
Here are a few typical scenarios:
- E-commerce platform rush campaign (double 11 kind of instant traffic)
- Short video platform content distribution
- IoT device data return
- Multi-account social platform management
Three tricks for real-world configuration
Tip #1: Pick the right type of agent
| Business Type | Recommended Programs |
|---|---|
| short-term peak flow | Dynamic residential (standard) $7.67/GB |
| Long-term stabilization needs | Static Residential $35/IP |
| Enterprise Applications | Dynamic residential (business) $9.47/GB |
Tip #2: Connection pools should be played slickly
Example of extracting proxies using ipipgo's APIs
import requests
def get_proxies():
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/get?type=dynamic&count=50"
response = requests.get(api_url)
return response.json()['proxies']
Tip #3: Don't be sloppy with timeout settings
It is recommended to split the timeout into two parameters:
- Connection timeout: 3-5 seconds (wait too long and the food will get cold)
- Read timeout: 15-30 seconds (can be extended appropriately for large files)
Here's a guide to avoiding the pitfalls
Three common mistakes newbies make:
- Single IP to the Death (IP Blocked Warning ⚠️)
- No fail-retry mechanism (drop the line and it's over)
- Inaccurate traffic estimates (end of month bills are scary)
QA time
Q: How to determine whether the agent supports high concurrency?
A: Look at two things: 1. Is the IP pool big enough (at least 500+) 2. Is there an automatic switching mechanism. Like ipipgo's dynamic residential packages, it can change 2000+ IPs per hour.
Q: What should I do if I encounter a limit on the number of connections?
A: 1. Check if you are using a shared IP 2. Split the single task into multiple threads 3. Change the enterprise package (the connection limit will be relaxed)
Q: What if the delay is too high for overseas operations?
A: Using their TK line, the measured delay in Southeast Asia can be pressed to within 80ms. But remember to find customer service to do line optimization in advance
Say something from the heart.
High-concurrency configuration of this matter, right, just rely on technical tuning at most to solve the problem of 70%. The remaining 30% depends on the agent service provider is not reliable. I have used seven or eight service providers, and finally used ipipgo for a long time is mainly three points:
- I called customer service at 3:00 in the middle of the night and got a second response.
- Flow rate calculations are exceptionally accurate (no sudden bursts)
- Enterprise packages can be billed by the hour (good for a volatile business like ours)
If you are just starting to engage in this area, it is recommended that the first dynamic standard version to practice. When the amount of business up, directly looking for their technology to do customized solutions, much stronger than their own blind folding.
