What happens when soft routing meets SK5?
Recently, a lot of machine brothers are asking, how can the soft routing of their own tossing and SK5 agent not be compatible with each other? In fact, this matter is the same as frying fire, focusing on the allocation of resources. For example, if you take home broadband to run an enterprise-level agent, it's like stir-frying cashews in a soup pot - the pot is going to explode.
The soft routing thing is inherently suited to playing with proxies, but many tutorials leave out the key:The SK5 protocol is particularly picky about its UDP/TCP dual-stack support.Some proxy service providers give "half-baked" nodes that can be used with a normal router. Some proxy service providers give "half-baked" nodes, which can be used with a normal router, but will appear on a soft router.
Four Steps to Real-World Configuration
First of all, I'd like to prepare some things: a soft routing device with OpenWrt installed (x86 architecture is recommended), an ipipgo account (remember to choose a package that supports SK5), and some network cables. Focus on the configuration table:
| Equipment type | Recommended Configurations |
|---|---|
| CPU | Dual-core 2.0GHz+ |
| random access memory (RAM) | 1GB+ |
| stockpile | 8GB SSD |
The specifics are fierce as a tiger:
Install the dependencies first
opkg update
opkg install iptables-mod-extra
Configure forwarding rules (replace eth0 with your NIC name)
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
Set up the SK5 whitelist
ipset create sk5_whitelist hash:net
ipset add sk5_whitelist proxy server IP
Here's a guide to avoiding the pitfalls
Last week, I helped the old iron debugging encountered a strange problem: the configuration is all right, but dead can not connect. Finally found that the MTU value in the demon, the MTU from 1500 to 1492 immediately resurrected. There is also a common minefield--time out of synchronizationIf you don't have NTP service on, the certificate validation will fail in minutes.
We recommend using ipipgo's static residential package, their SK5 nodes are preconfigured with soft routing adaptation parameters. The actual test in the R2S equipment to run cross-border business, the speed can be stabilized at 85Mbps +, much more stable than some of the so-called "enterprise-class" agent.
QA First Aid Kit
Q: I can't open the web page even though I'm connected to the proxy?
A: 90% is DNS pollution, try to force specify 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 in the soft router.
Q: What about the early morning speed plunge?
A: dynamic residential IP peak easily blocked, it is recommended to change to ipipgo static residential package, 35 yuan / IP / month that, exclusive bandwidth does not squeeze the car!
Q: After I configure the soft router, it turns into a brick?
A: Don't panic! Press and hold the reset button to plug in the power supply, wait for the indicator light to flash five times and then release it to enter the safe mode to re-flash the firmware.
There is a way to choose a package
Right-sized according to business needs:
- Web crawling: dynamic standard edition is enough, $7.67/GB cabbage price
- Live Push Streaming: On Enterprise Edition Dynamic, $9.47/GB with QoS Guarantee
- Cross-border e-commerce: direct static residential packages, $35/IP stable as a dog
ipipgo has a hidden benefit - buy 3 months and get 1v1 configuration guide. Last time there was a team doing overseas payments, it is by their customized solution to handle multi-line load balancing, it is said that concurrency increased by 6 times.
Lastly, I'd like to say that playing with SoftRoute+SK5 is like assembling Lego, and the quality of the parts (proxy resources) determines the stability of the finished product. Don't try to be cheap and use a pheasant proxy, when the time comes, the data leakage can't even cry. Reliable service providers are open source configuration documents, such as ipipgo GitHub warehouse real-time update of the adaptation program, which is the appearance of serious business.
