Verification of ip proxy settings: Methods and tools for verifying proxy IPs after setting them up

First, hand teach you to check the proxy IP spirit does not work

What is the biggest fear after installing a proxy IP? Of course, the result of half a day's work for nothing did not take effect! I'll teach you a few ways to verify it:

1. First, see whether the local IP has changed: open a randomipinfo.ioFor these types of IP checking sites, write down the original address. Connect to the proxy and refresh, if it shows the new area, it's correct.

2. Play something real: write a test script in Python (don't panic, take the code directly):

import requests
proxies = {
    'http': 'http://用户名:密码@ipaddress:port',
    'https': 'http://用户名:密码@ip address:port'
}
try.
    resp = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/ip', proxies=proxies, timeout=5)
    print('Current proxy IP:', resp.json()['origin'])
except Exception as e.
    print('Damn, the proxy didn't get through! Error message:', e)

3. Special scenario verification: for example, to visit a specific regional website, directly open the target site to see if the content can be loaded normally. Before a cross-border e-commerce friends, with ipipgo's static residential IP test amazon store, page loading speed and local users are identical.

Second, these tools allow you to take the road less traveled

We recommend a couple of testing wizards that are used by veterans:

- IP Detection Family Bucket:Open ip-api.com, whatismyipaddress.com, and ipleak.net at the same time to cross-verify and prevent a single site from jerking and misjudging

- Link tracing tool:Trace the routing path with MTR (Linux/Mac) or WinMTR (Windows) to see if the request is actually going out of the proxy server.

- Specialized detection scripts:Make a timed task to automatically run the tests every half hour and log the results to a log file. Here's a sample bash script:

! /bin/bash
curl --connect-timeout 10 --proxy http://代理IP:端口 -s http://icanhazip.com >> ip_log.txt
date >> ip_log.txt

III. First Aid Guide for Common Rollover Scenes

QA 1: The detection shows that the IP has changed, but the target website still recognizes that I am using a proxy?
This is most likely a case of the proxy fingerprint being recognized. It is recommended to change to ipipgoResidential Dynamic IPpackages, their carrier-grade IP pools come with environmental camouflage, which has been personally tested to carry the anti-climbing harsh ticketing sites.

QA 2: What should I do if the proxy connection works or doesn't work?
Look at the error code first:
- 407 Error: 90% of the account passwords are wrong
- 502/504 error: it may be that the IP is blocked or the server is overloaded, this time to change the IP
Remember to turn it on if you're using ipipgo.Automatic IP switchingFunctionality, their Enterprise Edition package supports switching 500+ IPs per second, and teams doing data collection say it's solid.

QA 3: How do I choose the right package for me?
It's clearer to go straight to the comparison table:

- Dynamic Residential (Standard): suitable for individual users and small batch data collection, $7.67/GB cabbage price
- Dynamic Residential (Enterprise): for studios that require high concurrency, supporting API high-speed extraction
- Static residence: a must for long term number raising, 35 bucks can lock up an IP for a whole month.

Fourth, to avoid the pit secret open

1. Don't test proxies on public networks: Cafe WiFi may come with its own interception, it's best to test it with a cellular hotspot
2. Browser plug-ins can mess things up: Remember to turn off Grease Monkey Scripts, ad blockers, and other plug-ins that may modify network requests!
3. The system agent setup is a chain of eventsWindows IE proxy settings and system settings are two different things, it is recommended to use the client tool directly!
4. Don't choose the wrong protocol.The http proxy and socks5 proxy are not configured in the same way, ipipgo has ready-made configuration templates in the background that can be directly copied from the assignment

Lastly, I would like to say a few words: verification agent is not a one-shot deal, especially for automation business, it is recommended to test once a day in the morning and once in the evening. Encountered difficulties directly find ipipgo technical support, they can give you customized solutions according to your business scenarios, last time there is an overseas questionnaire team, is to rely on their TK line to pull the success rate from 23% to 89%.
