What's the point of this Mexican IP purchase thing, anyway?
Recently, a lot of friends asked Lao Zhang, why do we need to specialize in Mexican IP, to put it bluntly, is that some of the business has to use the local address in order to run through. For example, if a cross-border e-commerce company wants to capture the price of local goods, or if a game company wants to test the activity page of a Latin American service, the data may not be allowed or even rejected without a local IP. These operations have to be carried out under the premise of legal compliance!
Hands down buy mexican ip from ipipgo
First of all, how to buy. Directly on the official website of ipipgo (do not search the wrong name haha), register and enter the "residential agent" area. There are two types of Mexican IPs:Dynamic residential (standard)respond in singingStatic homesThe newbie is recommended to choose the dynamic package, which is more than 7 bucks for 1G traffic. Newbies are advised to go with the Dynamic package, $7+ 1G traffic is enough to toss around, and then consider the $9+ version for enterprise-level needs.
Here's the point! Don't wait to use it after you buy it, look for it in the backstage first."IP Extraction"Button. Here's a pitfall:Protocol typeYou must choose the right one, HTTP/HTTPS/Socks5 depends on which one your software supports. For example, crawlers generally use HTTP, game hangers may want to use Socks5.
Python examples (requests library)
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口",
"https": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
}
response = requests.get("https://检测网站", proxies=proxies)
The easiest way to configure a proxy
I've seen too many people get stuck in the configuration session, and there are three main problems:
- 密码带特殊符号没转义(比如@要改成%40)
- The port number was copied incorrectly (it's clearly marked in the backend list)
- No whitelisting (corporate users have to add the server IP to the console)
To give a real case: last week a cross-border e-commerce brother, dead can not connect the Mexican IP. later found that he used a static residential IP, but did not bind the device MAC address in the background, which belongs to the typical advanced features will not be used ...
Wildcard for detecting if an IP is active
Don't just read the software prompts, go straight to hardcore testing:
- Open cmd and type
curl ipinfo.ioSee if the returned country is MX - browser-based access whatismyipaddress.com
- Advanced players can grab packets to see the TCP connection address
If you find that the IP shows up in the US or another country, hurry up and find ipipgo customer service to change the node. There is a hidden benefit in their house:Dynamic IP pool automatically switches every 15 minutesIf you want to fix the address you have to pay extra for the static version.
QA session: a must-see collection of questions for white people
Q: Why can't I use the IP after I bought it?
A: First see if the account balance is enough! Then check the proxy format, especially the username and password don't make a mistake with your hand.
Q: Do I need to verify my Mexican cell phone number?
A: No need at all! ipipgo's IPs are all ready-to-use and directly connected to the local carriers.
Q: What happens if I use too much traffic?
A: The connection will be disconnected automatically and no additional cost will be incurred. It is recommended to set up a traffic alert in the console.

Lastly, I'd like to say: if you have any technical problems, you should look for their technical customer service directly, and you should be able to reply at least twice as fast as your counterparts. Especially if you are doing TK live, remember to ask them toDedicated line optimization solution, can go the 80% way for less!
