sk5 proxy tool: support SOCKS5 protocol proxy IP software use guide

What's the point of figuring out the SK5 agent?

To put it plainly, SK5 proxy is to give network traffic a "vest". For example, if you want to use a crawler to capture data, the IP address of your computer will be easily blocked, so you can use a proxy IP address to go out in a different outfit.The SOCKS5 protocol is more flexible than ordinary proxies, and it can not only handle web access, but also forward packets of games and APPs.

To give a chestnut, do cross-border e-commerce friends often want to check the price of goods in different countries. With ipipgo's static residential IP, directly choose a U.S. address, the price checking site will think you are a local user, the price displayed is more realistic. And their TK line is particularly friendly to short video business, uploading and downloading are very stable.

Hands-On Configuration of Proxy Tools

Proxifier is the recommended program (don't ask why we don't recommend something else, it's just the best compatibility). After the installation is complete, follow this procedure:

1. Open Profile -> Proxy Servers
2. Click the Add button and enter the IP address and port provided by ipipgo.
3. Select SOCKS5 for the protocol type and password for the authentication method.
4. In the Proxification Rules, set the software to be proxied.

Attention!Don't use auto-detect proxy settings in your browserIf you want to use a proxy for a program that needs a proxy, you should configure a separate rule for the program that needs a proxy. It is recommended to configure rules for the software that needs proxy separately, and other programs still go through the normal network.

Guide to avoiding the pit: 3 common mistakes made by newbies

I've seen a lot of user feedback that the agent can't connect, and 80% of the time these are the reasons:

If that doesn't work, go directly to ipipgo customer service and ask for a test IP. they respond pretty quickly, the last time I raised a work order at 2am, I got a solution in 10 minutes.

QA time: 5 of your biggest concerns

Q: Which one should I choose, dynamic IP or static IP?
Depends on the business needs. Dynamic IP is suitable for scenarios that require frequent replacement, such as crawler collection; static IP is suitable for those that require long-term maintenance of the session, such as account operation.

Q: What should I do if I have used up my traffic package?
ipipgo's packages support stacked purchases, so I recommend opening a Dynamic Standard Edition ($7.67/GB) first, and then purchasing additional ones if you don't have enough. Their Enterprise version is a bit more expensive, but the IP purity is much higher.

Q: Which clients are supported?
In addition to the usual Windows/Mac clients, they also have an Android APP. the most convenient is the API extraction, which directly interfaces to the code:

import requests
proxies = {
    'http': 'socks5://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:24000',
    'https': 'socks5://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:24000'
}
resp = requests.get('http://example.com', proxies=proxies)

How to choose the best agent package?

Recommendations based on usage scenarios:

• Individual users: Dynamic residential (standard) RMB 7.67/GB, traffic can be accumulated
• Studio: static residential $35/IP, long-term stability without dropping lines
• Enterprise-level needs: directly to customer service for customized solutions, able to negotiate discounts

Final Reminder:Don't buy a shared IP pool on the cheapThe probability of being blocked is extremely high. ipipgo's exclusive static IP is doubly secure although the unit price is high. Remember to try before you buy the long term package, they send 500MB of test traffic for new users.
