Today we will use ipipgo proxy service as an example to teach you how to use cmd to quickly configure.

Why do I need a command line setup?

Now a lot of data collection old iron, often need to batch switch proxy IP. graphical interface settings, each time you have to repeat the point of seven or eight steps, the efficiency is too crotch.
