Handy guide to picking the right overseas residential IPs
Overseas business is the most headache is the IP instability, buddy you must have encountered such a situation: just registered account suddenly blocked, crawler program running on the interruption. This is the time to findReal Life Housing IPThis kind of IP is much more reliable than a server room IP, just like using a real home network to access the Internet.
How to choose between dynamic and static IP
Let's first straighten out the difference between the two (look at the table below):
| typology | Applicable Scenarios | price range |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic Residential | Businesses that require frequent IP changes, such as bulk account registration | From $7.67/GB |
| Static homes | Businesses requiring long-term fixed IPs, such as overseas social media operations | From $35/IP |
For example, to do cross-border e-commerce brothers to use overseas accounts to post, this time you have to use a static IP. if you do data collection, dynamic IP is more cost-effective.
Practical operation guide
Here we recommend using ipipgo's API to extract IPs, their resources cover more than 200 countries and the operation is simple. Look at this sample code:
import requests
def get_proxy(): api_url =
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/get?type=static"
response = requests.get(api_url)
return response.json()['proxy']
Note to check IP purity, test with this command:
curl https://ipinfo.io/$(curl -s https://api.ipipgo.com/getip) --proxy socks5://[proxy address]
Guide to avoiding the pit
1. Don't buy a shared IP pool on the cheap, the duplication rate of such IPs is frighteningly high.
2. Beware of those who say "unlimited traffic" but actually use all kinds of speed limitations.
3. Important business must be selectedDedicated Static IPIt's more expensive, but it's less stressful.
QA session
Q: Will dynamic IP traffic billing be expensive?
A: like ipipgo's dynamic package 7 more than 1G, ordinary crawler business 500MB per day is enough to use, a month is only a hundred or so yuan!
Q: What should I do if my IP is blocked by the target website?
A: Find customer service to change the new IP, regular service providers provide this service. ipipgo's enterprise package also with automatic replacement function.
Q: What if I need multiple country IPs?
A: Directly select the cross-border line package, support the simultaneous call of different countries of the agent nodes
How to choose a service provider
Focus on three points:
1. Whether the operator is local and regular (don't use those virtual operators)
2. Availability of APIs and off-the-shelf tools (to save yourself the trouble)
3. Customer service response time (this is so important when things go wrong)
For example, ipipgo's TK line has optimized latency specifically for the Southeast Asian market. They also have a very useful feature-Real-time IP quality monitoring, can automatically filter out contaminated IPs.
One last reminder, test before you buy! Legitimate merchants will give trial traffic. Don't listen to those blowing up the sky, actually test the connection speed and stability of the most real. Especially for cross-border e-commerce friends, stable IP is your lifeblood ah.
