Why does your software need a separate IP channel?
Have you ever encountered this situation: obviously open the proxy, but some software always disobediently go to the local network? For example, download tools run the proxy traffic full, resulting in the browser stuck in a slideshow. This is the time to giveSeparate agents for each programIt's especially critical to not interfere with other software networking, but also to have precise control over where the traffic is going.
Let's take a real scenario: if you do e-commerce, you may need to log in to 10 stores at the same time, and each account must use a different IP. if you use a global proxy, switching IPs can tire you out. At this time, we should offer the process-level proxy method, assigning each browser process an independent IP channel.
Choosing the right type of agent is key
There are three main schools of agents on the market:
| typology | Applicable Scenarios |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Residential IP | Crawler tasks that require frequent IP changes |
| Static Residential IP | Business scenarios with long-term fixed IP |
| Data Center IP | Scenarios that do not require high IP purity |
I must mention our family'sipipgo, especially theirStatic Home PackageThe 35 yuan will be able to use a fixed IP monthly. measured stability can really play, open a process to hang three days do not drop line, do account formation old iron can close their eyes into the.
Hands-on configuration instruction
Take the Python crawler as an example of a process-level proxy implemented with the requests library:
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'socks5://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.net:24000',
'https': 'socks5://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.net:24000'
}
response = requests.get('http://example.com', proxies=proxies)
Focus here:Create Session objects individually for each process, don't use a global configuration. That way, even if you run 10 crawlers at the same time, each one can take a different proxy configuration.
For command line gamers
Older brother used to use the terminal to try proxychains tool, configuration thief simple:
Install the tools first
sudo apt install proxychains4
Edit the configuration file
vim /etc/proxychains.conf
Change the last line to:
socks5 gateway.ipipgo.net 24000 user pass
Start the specified program
proxychains4 curl ifconfig.me
Note that Windows systems can be usedProxifierThis is the type of tool where visual configuration is more intuitive. But remember to generate the ipipgo backend in thewhite list authorizationOtherwise it won't connect to the server.
Guidelines on demining of common problems
Q: Why doesn't the proxy take effect after I configure it?
A: First check three steps: 1. proxy address is not written wrong 2. account balance is sufficient 3. local firewall whether to release the
Q: Will the multi-process proxy string IPs?
A: If you use dynamic residential IP, remember to add in the codeAutomatic IP changelogic. ipipgo's API supports changing the exit IP by number of times. call example:
POST /api/v1/rotate_ip
Authorization: Bearer {API_KEY}
Q: What should I do if the proxy suddenly slows down?
A: First ping the gateway address to see the delay, if the packet loss is serious, in ipipgo backgroundSwitching access areas. For example, if it was originally a US node, try a German or Japanese line.
The Doorway to Choosing a Package
One final scratch for the choice-challenged:
- Test phase withDynamic residential (standard), $7.67/GB use as much as you want
- Formal operationalStatic homesThe $35/IP monthly subscription is a better deal.
- Enterprise-level requirements directly to customer service1v1 Customized Solutions
Remember that the agent thing is just like wearing shoes, only the feet know if it fits or not. It is recommended to open a test package to run for two days, ipipgo new users are all have3GB Traffic Trial, enough to verify program viability.
