Tunneling IP: Tutorial on Forwarding Network Traffic through IP Tunneling Technology

What the hell is this thing? What's the tunnel IP for?

To put it in human terms, tunneling IP is equivalent to putting a courier box over your network traffic. For example, if you order a takeout in Beijing (and send a request), the store shows that it was shipped in Shenzhen (and responds with a foreign IP). This technique is particularly suitable for those who need toHide the real network addressscenarios, like data collection, batch registration, operations that require frequent identity switching.

To give a chestnut, a company to capture the competitor's website data, directly with their own servers hard just, minutes by the other side of the blocked IP. this time with the tunnel IP is like opening a myriad of trumpets, each visit is a different "armor", the other side can not touch the real source.

What's the point of having this thing?

Let's start with three hardcore advantages:

Focusing on the third advantage, with ipipgo's cross-border private line service, the data of the whole process to take carrier-level encryption channel. Last time there is a cross-border e-commerce customers, with ordinary agents always by the platform wind control, changed our TK line, the account survival rate directly rose 3 times.

Teach you the whole living configuration by hand

As an example, a Python crawler uses the ipipgo API to extract proxy IPs:

import requests

def get_proxy().
     Fill in the API url of ipipgo here.
    api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy"
    resp = requests.get(api_url).json()
    return f "http://{resp['ip']}:{resp['port']}"

proxies = {
    'http': get_proxy(),
    'https': get_proxy()
}
response = requests.get('Target site', proxies=proxies)

Be careful to set thetimeout retry mechanismIf you encounter a failed IP, it will switch automatically. It is recommended to set the IP survival detection interval at 5-10 minutes, so as not to crash people's websites.

How to choose a reliable service provider?

Remember the three key indicators:

• Is the IP pool large enough (don't consider anything less than a million)
• Protocol support all or nothing (at least Socks5)
• Is there a proprietary client (except for the command line gurus)

Dynamic residential packages like ipipgo's are 7 bucks more for 1 G of traffic, and they also give you a client auto-management tool. Theirs.TK LineIt is especially suitable for those who do overseas e-commerce, and the delay can be controlled within 200ms.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Is it illegal to use this?
A: The technology itself is fine, mainly depends on the use. Don't take it to do gray production, normal business needs are perfectly OK.

Q: Why is it sometimes particularly slow?
A: eighty percent of the nodes are selected transnational, it is recommended to use ipipgo'sArea preference function, automatically matches the nearest server.

Q: What's the best way to get enterprise-level requirements?
A: Directly find ipipgo customer service to ask for a customized plan, they can get an exclusive IP pool, but also by the hour billing.

Some real shopping advice.

Newbies are advised to start with dynamic residential packages, $7.67/GB to try the water first. Do cross-border e-commerce directly on the TK line, although more expensive but good stability. Remember not to buy those cheap IP on the sale, that is basically a million people ride the waste number.

Finally, before you buy, you must ask these things: Is there any traffic penetration protection? Does it support UDP protocol? Can you specify a city node? These details determine success or failure. Like ipipgo's enterprise edition package with these advanced features, do large-scale data collection can focus on consideration.
