Why bother with proxy IPs for a router?
Recently, some friends who do data collection complained to me that they always encountered IP blocking on websites. At this time, if you directly get a proxy IP at the router level, it is equivalent to the entire network environment with a cloak of invisibility. For example, your company has ten computers need to collect data at the same time, one by one with the proxy is too much trouble, directly change the router settings can make all the devices automatically go through the proxy channel.
Hands on Router Rerouting
Take the most common TP-Link as an example first, other brands are much the same. Focus on rememberingport forwardingrespond in singingproxy server addressThese two have to be filled in correctly:
1. Enter 192.168.1.1 (the backend address of most routers) into your browser.
2. Find [Advanced Settings] - [NAT Forwarding].
3. Take note of these parameters when creating new rules:
| parameter term | Fill in the example |
|---|---|
| external port | 8000-9000 |
| internal IP address | proxy server IP |
| Protocol type | ALL |
Here is a special reminder, the proxy server IP is recommended to use ipipgo's static residential package, stability than dynamic IP a lot stronger. Their home background can directly get ready-made server address and port number, do not have to toss their own.
Practical code snippets
After configuration, test if it works, use this curl command to test it:
curl --proxy socks5://username:password@gateway IP:port http://ipinfo.io/ip
If the returned IP is not the same as the local machine, it means that it is successful. Here is a pitfall to note, many white people will forget to add authentication information in the proxy address, the result is not connected.
What are the scenarios where this must be used?
1. Harmonization of export requirements for multiple devices (e.g., studio environments)
2. Crawler programs that need to run 24/7
3. Businesses that require high IP purity (like ad placement monitoring)
4. Where a fixed geographic IP is required (e.g., certain regionally limited services)
Previously there is an e-commerce friend, with this method to the entire office network hung proxy, grab a limited number of goods when the success rate directly doubled. However, to choose the right type of proxy, such as the need for low latency, it is recommended to use ipipgo's TK line, a lot faster than ordinary residential IP.
Common Rollover Scene QA
Q: What should I do if the whole network is disconnected after setting up the router?
A: First check the proxy server address is correct, and then confirm that there is no port conflict. It is recommended to use a single computer to test the success of the whole network configuration!
Q: Why is it still blocked after using a proxy?
A: Maybe the IP quality is not good, or the number of concurrency is too high. ipipgo's enterprise-level dynamic residential packages with automatic rotation function, set the IP replacement frequency to 15 minutes once.
Q: Can I go proxy with my cell phone connected to WiFi?
A: As long as the router is configured correctly, all connected devices will automatically go through the proxy channel, even smart TVs!
The doorway to choosing a proxy service
Agency services on the market are a mixed bag, to teach you a few tricks to avoid the pit:
1. look at the protocol support: at least support Socks5
2. Check the size of the IP library: ipipgo has 200+ national resources and is considered to be the first tier.
3. Trial connection speeds: multiple measurements at different times during the free trial period
4. Ask about customized services: can special needs be catered for individually?
Recently found ipipgo's cross-border line has a wonderful use - do live overseas when hanging, push flow stability than ordinary line is too strong. Their charging model is also flexible, small business with dynamic residential packages starting at $7.67/GB, large enterprises directly on the customized program, more cost-effective than self-built agent pool.
Lastly, I would like to say that it is not difficult to change the proxy of the router, but choosing the right service provider can save eighty percent. I've seen too many people cheap with chicken proxy, the results were blocked IP not to mention, but also delayed the serious business. This technology thing is sometimes really worth every penny, do not be stingy when it comes to the key.
