Hands-on teaching you the whole of your own proxy IP server
Proxy IP thing, to put it bluntly, is to give yourself a whole "network vest". The biggest advantage of building your own server isIt's all in your hands.It's not like a public agency that just crashes and burns. Let's talk about how to do it step by step.
I. Why should I toss it myself?
Public agent pools save time, but often fall off when it comes to sought-after time slots. If you build your own:
- IP quality can be controlled by yourself
- Flow rate is used as much as possible.
- Protocol types can be switched around.
But be careful.You have to choose a reliable cloud vendor for your serversDon't use a cheap service provider, you'll be disturbed if you get disconnected in three days.
Second, prepare your stuff.
| makings | Recommended Configurations |
|---|---|
| cloud server | 1 core 2G to start (enough for testing) |
| operating system | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS |
| proxy software | Squid/Shadowsocks |
Here's a tip:Don't use the default port.! Common ports like 3128 and 8080 were targeted long ago, and it's safer to change to five-digit ports.
Third, the actual installation process
Take Squid for example, after ssh connects to the server:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install squid -y
sudo cp /etc/squid/squid.conf /etc/squid/squid.conf.bak backup configuration file
sudo nano /etc/squid/squid.conf
Change these key parameters:
http_port 54321 change to cold port
visible_hostname myproxy Customized hostname
acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/16 Restrict access to IP segments
Remember that when you're done.restart sth.: sudo systemctl restart squid
IV. Maintenance tips
1. Check the log regularly: tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log
2. A timed task to automatically change the IP address (only needed for dynamic servers)
3. Update software packages at least once a month
If that's too much trouble, just useStatic residential IP for ipipgoMore economical, 35 dollars an IP can be used for a whole month, more cost-effective than self-built servers.
V. Common rollover site QA
Q: Is it costly to build my own agency?
A: Look at the amount of business! Small-scale testing of their own ride cost-effective, if you run dozens of GB of data per day, why not use ipipgo's dynamic package, more than 7 bucks 1GB as you throw.
Q: Why is my agent speed slow as a dog?
A: eighty percent of the server location did not choose the right. For example, to access the U.S. website, the server is placed in Southeast Asia, it must be a detour. At this time you can try ipipgo's TK line, direct connection channel without detour.
Q: What should I do if my IP is always blocked?
A: three ways: 1. reduce the frequency of requests 2. more than a few IP rotation 3. directly on their exclusive static IP, 35 buyout system do not worry about being squeezed.
VI. The Ultimate Lazy Program
While it's fun to build your own server, it's still recommended to use an off-the-shelf one in the following situations:
- Multiple country IP switching required
- High volatility in business volume
- No time for Ops.
It's time to go straight toipipgo's dynamic package for businessesThe first one is 9 bucks more than 1GB also with automatic IP rotation, support socks5 and http two protocols. Their API docking is also simple, just the whole code can be used:
import requests
proxy = {
'http': 'http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020',
'https': 'http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
}
resp = requests.get('destination URL', proxies=proxy)
A final word of caution:Don't be a techie with a self-hosted server, professional things to professional people to do. Now on the market like ipipgo this service provider, the price has been hit to lower than the self-built cost, there is really no need to toss yourself.
