What's the difference between these two things?
好多人分不清代理IP和,其实他俩就像Express transfer stations and encrypted tunnels的区别。举个栗子,你要寄个包裹(网络请求),代理IP就是找个本地代收点帮你转发,而是给包裹套上防弹衣再走专属通道。
The best thing about proxy IPs is thatFlexible identity switching。比如做电商的张三要查竞品价格,用代理IP每查一次换个地址,网站根本看不出是同个人。就比较一根筋,从头到尾都是同一个加密通道。
Example of checking IP address using proxy IP
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020',
'https': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
}
print(requests.get('http://ipinfo.io/json', proxies=proxies).text)
Which one should I use for what situation?
Based on our experience doing solutions for 200+ clients, we've put together this decision table:
| take | proxy IP | |
|---|---|---|
| data acquisition | ✅ Frequent IP changes to prevent blocking | ❌ Fixed IPs are easily recognized |
| market research | ✅ Simulation of users in different regions | ❌ Fixed area only |
| Personal privacy protection | ✅ Hide the real IP | ✅ Encrypted transmission of data |
How to pick a proxy IP service provider?
Agent services on the market are a mixed bag, remember these threeTips for avoiding pitfalls::
- Look at the IP type: residential IPs are harder to recognize than server room IPs (e.g., ipipgo's residential IP pools have direct carrier partnership resources)
- 测连接速度:别信广告说的,自己拿免费试用测
- Check the after-sales support: three o'clock in the morning out of the problem can find people to deal with the only reliable
Like our ipipgo's dynamic residential package, starting from 7 dollars more than 1G traffic, cheaper than drinking milk tea. Especially for customers doing short video operations, they have never flipped with this bulk start number.
QA time
Q: Are proxy IPs legal?
A: Just like a chopper can cut vegetables or hurt people, the key depends on the use. Formal business such as market research and advertisement monitoring are not faulty
Q: How do I check if the proxy is in effect?
A: I'll teach you a dirt method, open the command line and type:
curl http://ipinfo.io/json --proxy http://用户名:密码@proxy address:port
Q: Which one to choose, static or dynamic IP?
A: the need for long-term stability (such as hanging store) selected static, short-term high-frequency operations (such as data crawling) with dynamic
Say something from the heart.
Having used a dozen or so proxy services, I finally chose to build my own ipipgo just becauseReal Residential IP ResourcesToo rare. Many of our peers use server room IPs to pretend to be residential IPs, we have direct agreements with overseas carriers and each IP can be traced to the broadband account it belongs to.
Recently helped cross-border e-commerce customers to do the TK line program, using the Los Angeles residential IP to send the video, the playback volume is more than 3 times higher than ordinary IP. The water in this line is very deep, rememberDon't be cheap., there is definitely something wrong with the $9.90 monthly subscription. Our pricing doesn't look cheap, but the measured 1GB of traffic can fulfill 5000+ data requests, which works out to cost less than half a cent each time.
