Server Proxy IP: How to set up Server Proxy IP

What the heck is a proxy IP anyway?

For example, you live in Chaoyang District, Beijing, every time you order takeout to expose the real address. This time to find an errand boy to help you transfer to Haidian District and then sent over, the delivery platform can only see the address of Haidian - this is the basic principle of proxy IP. Server proxy IP is like this errand boy, to help you change the network request for a "place of departure", so that the target site can not recognize your real IP address.

There are three main types of agents on the market today:Residential Agents(real home network),Data Center Agents(server room server),Exclusive Agent(No queue for exclusive IPs). Like the dynamic residential agent of our ipipgo family, you can use 1GB of traffic for more than 7 dollars, which is cheaper than buying a cup of milk tea.

Hands-on guide to configure proxy IP

Here's how to set up a few common scenarios, don't be intimidated by the terminology, it's actually similar to setting up WiFi:

 Python Crawler Setup Example
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("destination URL", proxies=proxies)

If it's simpler to set up a browser:
1. Open Settings to find a web proxy
2. Player movement configurations
3. Fill in the address and port provided by ipipgo.
4. Remember to save the settings
Attention:Different client locations may be called differently, some are called "proxy servers", some are called "network transit".

Don't step on these potholes.

3 common mistakes newbies make:
1. Enter the IP address as a Web address (the correct format is IP:port).
2. Forgot account password authentication (agents like ipipgo require double authentication)
3. Do not turn off the proxy when the traffic is over (beware of burning money)

If you have trouble connecting, check these three items first:
✅ Whether the IP is expired
✅ Is there a mistake in the port?
✅ Is the account password correct?

QA time: what you might want to ask

Q: Why does my agent speed crawl like a turtle?
A: 80% of the nodes are too far away, for example, you are in the country but use the South American nodes. ipipgo client comes with intelligent routing, which can automatically choose the fastest line.

Q: How long can I use the same IP?
A: Dynamic proxy IP generally 15 minutes to change once, static can buy a monthly subscription. Enterprise-level demand can also customize the length of time, specifically to find customer service lady chat.

Q: Will the website find out that I'm using a proxy?
A: Low-quality proxies are really easy to reveal. ipipgo's residential proxies are real home IPs with super-high camouflage, which have been tested on a certain east and a certain treasure can be used stably.

How to choose a reliable service provider

Remember these three hard indicators:
✔️ protocol support all or nothing (at least HTTPS should be supported)
✔️ Failure to retry mechanism has no
✔️ How responsive is customer service

Like ipipgo not only fulfills these, but also gets aThe flow does not expireThe settings. For example, if you buy 10GB of traffic, you can slowly use it until the end of time, especially suitable for individual developers with unstable usage.

Lastly, a cold knowledge: some sites will block the entire IP segment, so the larger the proxy pool the more secure. ipipgo in more than 200 countries around the world has a server room, the IP pool of more than 50 million, the probability of being blocked is lower than winning the lottery. New users can also get test traffic when they register, so go to the official website and take a look at it.
