Hands-on with soft routing to bind field IPs
Recently, a lot of friends have been asking how to make their soft router fixed with a foreign IP, which is not difficult, but if you don't find the right way, it's really easy to step on the pit. Today we will use the most straightforward way to teach you how to use a proxy IP service to get this done.
Why do I need to bind a field IP?
For example, some e-commerce friends have to manage store accounts in different regions at the same time, or do data collection to lock the IP of a specific region, if you use your own broadband IP, not only easy to expose the real address, but also may trigger the platform wind control. If you use a proxy IP to bind the soft route, it is equivalent to putting a "mask" on the devices in the whole LAN.
Don't be sloppy with your preparations.
1. Install a soft routing system such as OpenWrt or Aifei.

3. Prepare API key and proxy connection information
Example: ipipgo's proxy information format
Server address: gateway.ipipgo.net
Port: 32000
Account: your_username
Password: your_password
Protocol: socks5
Four Steps to Real-World Configuration
Step 1: Create a proxy interface in the soft route
Go to the system administration background and find the "Interface" option in the network settings. Create a new interface, select SOCKS5 proxy type, and fill in the server information provided by ipipgo.
Step 2: Setting up policy routes
Here's a tip, group the MAC addresses of devices that need to go to a foreign IP separately. For example, if you want to bind Shanghai IP, create a new policy rule:
| source address | target area | egress port |
|---|---|---|
| MAC of device A | All traffic | ipipgo proxy interface |
Step 3: IP Locale Verification
After connecting to the proxy, remember to check the actual exit with the IP detection tool on the ipipgo website. Sometimes the node may automatically switch, this time to contact customer service to lock the specific city node.
Step 4: Regular maintenance
It is recommended to check IP availability once a week. If you are using a dynamic package, you can write a timing script in the soft route to update the IP automatically:
! /bin/bash
Refresh IP every morning
0 3 curl -x socks5://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.net:32000 api.ipipgo.com/refresh
Guidelines on demining of common problems
Q: Why is the connection to the proxy slowed down?
A: Check if you have chosen a transcontinental node, for example, to bind domestic cities but mistakenly chose European and American packages. ipipgocross-border rail lineSet delay can be controlled within 100ms.
Q: How do I make sure the IP is not shared by more than one person?
A: Directly on the static residential package, each IP is exclusive. The price is a little more expensive ($35/month), but it is suitable for business scenarios that require long-term stability.
Q: Can I go proxy with my cell phone connected to WiFi?
A: As long as you are connected to this soft route, all devices will apply the rules automatically. Tested cell phone/computer/smart device can take effect.
There is a way to choose a package
You can save a lot of money by choosing a package based on the usage scenario:
- Occasional use: Dynamic Standard ($7.67/GB)
- Studio Multi-Device: Dynamic Enterprise ($9.47/GB)
- Long-term fixed IP: directly on the static residence
