Hands-on Windows System Proxy Configuration
Many friends in the network crawler or batch registration account, often need to switch IP addresses. Here to give you the whole point of the Windows system proxy settings tutorial, follow the operation of three minutes to get it done. Note that we are talking about legal and compliant proxy use scenarios, such as network testing, data collection and these serious purposes.
The system comes with a proxy setting method
Let's start with the easiest way to set up, suitable for temporary use or test scenarios. Find the network icon in the lower right corner, right-click and select"Open Network and Internet Settings."Click on "Proxy" in the left column of the Settings window. Find "Proxy" in the left column of the Settings window, and tap on the Manual Settings switch.
Proxy IP example:
Address: 12.34.56.78
Port: 8080
Here's a tip, after filling out the address remember to put the"Skip proxy for local address."Check the box, otherwise you will have problems accessing the intranet site. Don't rush to close the window after setting, it is recommended to click the "Save" button below, so that you don't have to re-enter it the next time you want to use it.
Client Configuration Made Easy
If you often need to switch proxies, we recommend using the client tool provided by ipipgo. Their software supportsone-touch switchingIP of different countries, but also can automatically detect whether the proxy is available. The installation package is only more than 20MB, after installing the interface looks like this:
| functionality | operating position |
|---|---|
| Switch Country | Flag icon in the upper left corner |
| Protocol Selection | Settings-Connection Method |
| Traffic Statistics | Lower right dashboard |
The actual test with the client is at least 3 times faster than the manual setup, especially when you need to change the IP frequently, saving you from having to lose the address every time. Their static residential package is most suitable for this need for stable IP scenarios, 35 dollars a month can be fixed with a clean IP.
Code Calling Practical Tips
Brothers engaged in development look here, ipipgo API call is particularly simple. If you use Python, you can use the direct requests library with a proxies parameter, sample code to take it:
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://user:pass@proxy.ipipgo.com:24000",
"https": "http://user:pass@proxy.ipipgo.com:24000"
}
response = requests.get("http://example.com", proxies=proxies)
Be careful to replace user and pass with your own account's authentication information. Their dynamic residential package is especially suitable for this programming scenario, more than 7 dollars 1G traffic, do data collection if the cost control is just right.
Guidelines on demining of common problems
Q: I set up the proxy but can't connect to the Internet?
A: First check three elements: IP address, port, authentication information. If you use ipipgo, you can check the real-time connection status in the background, and there is a connection test function that is particularly useful.
Q: Internet speed slows down when I turn on the proxy?
A: It is recommended to choose a node that is close to your business area. For example, if you are doing Southeast Asian e-commerce, the speed of the Singapore server room will be much faster than the European and American nodes.
Q: What if I need to use more than one agent at the same time?
A: In this case, it is recommended to use their exclusive static package, which supports multi-IP rotation. Remember to do a good job in the code IP switching logic, do not use the same IP brain.
A Little Tree of Thumb for Choosing Packages
It's most cost-effective to choose based on business needs:
- Dynamic residential (standard): suitable for ordinary crawlers, $7.67/G is really not expensive
- Dynamic Residential (Enterprise): pick this one if you need high anonymity, with enterprise level coverage
- Static Residence: You must use this if you are doing account formation, fixed IP is more secure
Finally, when you set up the proxy, remember to turn off the automatic system update program that eats traffic. Once I turned on the system update, a night ran 10 G traffic, heartbroken. If you use ipipgo, you can set up a traffic reminder on the client side, and it will automatically disconnect you if you exceed the set value, which is really useful.
