Hands-on guide to filling in proxy addresses and ports
Recently, many friends are asking how to fill in the proxy server address port, this thing is simple and simple, but the novice is easy to fall in the details (note that here deliberately retain the repetition of words). Today, we will break up the crumbs to say, to ensure that you can get started after reading.
The proxy address and port are like the pickup code for a courier locker, if you fill in the wrong one, you won't be able to pick up the package. For example, if you see the format123.45.67.89:8080The first colon is the address, and the last four digits are the port. Some software will separate two boxes for you to fill in, so don't be confused and put the port in the address field.
Python Sample Code
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://username:password@12.34.56.78:8888',
'https': 'http://username:password@12.34.56.78:8888'
}
response = requests.get('http://example.com', proxies=proxies)
Common Wrong Positions
The most outrageous thing I've seen is using the port as a password, and it just won't connect. Emphasize this three times:The port is not a password! The port is not a password! The port is not a password! If the service provider gives authentication information, usually an account password or key, fill in the special authentication field.
| Type of error | correct posture |
|---|---|
| 192.168.1.1:8888@user:pass | IP:Port in the Address field, and Authentication separately. |
| Put the socks5 proxy in the http field | The protocol type should correspond |

Emergency room for difficult cases
Q: What should I do if I fill in the right port but can't connect?
A: first look at the error code, if it is 407 error, eighty percent of the authentication information is not filled out correctly. If you use ipipgo, remember that the password is dynamically generated and automatically updated every hour, don't be silly to copy the previous day's password.
Q: What should I do if I want to fill in socks5 and http proxy at the same time?
A: In this case it is recommended to use their homeTK Private Line PackageIt supports protocol auto-adaptation. Ordinary users choose dynamic residential package is enough, enterprise users directly on the customized program is more cost-effective.
Q: What is the earthly way to test if the proxy is working?
A:Open the "IP Detection" page of ipipgo website, you can see the current export IP, if it is not your real IP, it means the proxy is effective.
Package selection without confusion
A final note on how to pick a package (intentionally colloquial expression here). Ordinary users do data collection and pickDynamic Residential StandardThe most cost-effective, 7 dollars more than 1 G enough to use a month. If the studio needs a stable IP, directly on the 35 yuan / month static residential, an IP to the old days.
Enterprise users do not hesitate, more than 9 dollars of the enterprise version of the dynamic residential with exclusive channel, than self-built agent pool to save a lot of worry. Last time there is an overseas research team, with a customized program directly doubled the efficiency of data acquisition, the key is not to raise the technical team to maintain.
Remember that the agent thing is like wearing socks, only the feet know if they fit or not. It is recommended to take the test package to try the water, ipipgo newcomers have to experience the flow, do not come up to buy the annual fee package (here to use the metaphor of life). If you don't know what to do, go directly to their customer service, and the response speed is faster than a delivery boy delivering food.
