Hands-on with Online Agents
Recently, a friend always ask me, web proxy in the end how to use the security? Today, let's nag some real. Online agents do not have to install software this point is really convenient, but like using public WiFi, do not pay attention to security at any time may be overturned. Let's start with a real case: last year, an e-commerce friend used a free agent to check the data, and as a result, the store account was blocked collectively, losing tens of thousands of dollars.
Why do I need a web proxy?
For example, if you run 10 social media accounts, logging in on your own network will be detected by the platforms as a correlation in minutes. This is where a reliable proxy IP is likecloak of invisibility, giving each account a separate network identity. But note! Don't be cheap and use free proxies, those IPs have long been blacked out by major platforms.

|---|---|
| data acquisition | Dynamic Residential IP |
| Multi-account management | Static Residential IP |
| Cross-border business | TK Dedicated IP |
Three steps to choose the right proxy service provider
There are a plethora of agency services on the market, so keep these three hard indicators in mind:
1. IP purity: it is recommended to choose something like ipipgo.Direct to Operatorservice providers, their dynamic residential IPs are real residential IPs obtained from home broadband subscribers
2. protocol support: at least must support HTTPS encryption, do not use those only support HTTP old fashioned
3. After-sales response: when the IP is blocked to be able tochange in secondsThis is where ipipgo's API auto-change feature saves you a lot of trouble.
Example Python request (remember to replace it with your own API key)
import requests
proxy = {
"http": "http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:24000",
"https": "http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:24000"
}
response = requests.get('https://example.com', proxies=proxy)
Safe use of the three axes
1. Regular IP changesDon't use one IP until you die, dynamic IP is recommended to be changed every hour.
2. Encryption must be on: recognize the address bar when visiting the website.pigtailsymbolize
3. Sensitive operations are separated: important account login and device binding are recommended.Dedicated Static IP

Speak from the heart.
The proxy tool is a godsend when used properly, and a time bomb when used poorly. Recently found a riotous operation: with ipipgo TK line to do live push streaming, the delay can be pressed to 200ms or less. But how to play here is not convenient to detail, interested in their own research. Remember, safety is always the first place, do not save a little money to eat big losses.
