What exactly is a short-lived Socks5 proxy?
For example, you have to change into a new outfit every day to go out right? Short-lived proxies are like this kind of daily outfit. Especially socks5 protocol, can be adapted to a variety of software like a master key, from the browser to the crawler script can be used. These proxies usually survive for 1-30 minutes, and are especially good for scenarios where you need to switch IPs frequently.
Many agents on the market now claim to support socks5, but the actual use is not connected to the speed of the crotch. Here insert a small trick:When testing proxies, don't just look at the ping value, focus on the actual speed of transferring large files.We've used ipipgo's short-lived proxy for 10G test packages before. We've used ipipgo's short-acting proxy for 10G test packages before, and it didn't drop out the whole time, which is pretty rare.
In what situations is it necessary to use a short-acting agent?
Name a few real life cases:
1. e-commerce price comparison, continuous access to the IP will be blocked. a customer to do shopping with ipipgo dynamic residential agent, every 5 times to check the goods will automatically change the IP, the blocking rate dropped 80%
2. Game studios to open multiple accounts, using static short-acting proxy to each account fixed IP, to avoid being judged by the system for scripting
3. Short video platform to raise the number of stage, every day to change the IP of different regions to simulate the behavior of real users
Watch out for a pit:Don't use short-lived proxies for long-term logins</strong! For example, if you log in to WeChat with a proxy, and the proxy fails in half an hour, it may trigger a secondary authentication. In this case, it is more suitable to use a static long-lasting IP.
Nanny Level Configuration Tutorial
Here's an example of ipipgo's API extraction to show you how to use it quickly:
Python Example
import requests
def get_proxy(): api_url = "
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/socks5?count=10&type=dynamic" Remember to replace it with your account's API
resp = requests.get(api_url, auth=('account','password')).json()
return f "socks5://{resp['ip']}:{resp['port']}"
Using proxy requests
proxies = {'http': get_proxy(), 'https': get_proxy()}
requests.get('https://目标网站', proxies=proxies, timeout=15)
Focused Parameter Description:
| parameters | recommended value |
|---|---|
| timeout | 10-15 seconds |
| concurrency | Don't exceed 50 threads for dynamic IPs |
| Retesting mechanism | Change IP and try again after failure |
A Guide to Avoiding the Pit (Lessons Learned Through Tears)
1. Don't write dead proxy IPs in your code! It is recommended to use IP pool polling, like this:
proxy_pool = [get_proxy() for _ in range(20)] Prepare 20 IPs in advance
current_proxy = random.choice(proxy_pool)
2. Don't panic when you get a "Connection reset" error, it's probably because the proxy has expired. Just add an automatic switching logic
3. Remember to install the root certificate to access the HTTPS website, otherwise it will report SSL error. ipipgo client comes with this function.
QA First Aid Kit
Q: What should I do if I can't connect to the agent all the time?
A: First check if the API returns a valid IP, then try manual configuration. We recommend using ipipgo's Windows client, which comes with speed measurement and diagnostic functions.
Q: Is it normal for traffic to run out extra fast?
A: It depends on the usage scenario. If you brush pictures and videos, it does consume traffic, so it is recommended to enable gzip compression. ipipgo can set up traffic warning in the background, and it will pause automatically when it is overloaded.
Q: What if I need to use different country IPs at the same time?
A: Add the country parameter to the API request, such as &country=US. ipipgo supports accurate positioning in 200+ countries and regions, and can also specify city-level IPs.
Why do you recommend ipipgo?
After using it for most of the year, these spots do smell good:
1. Seconds switching without lag (measured average response <800ms)
2. support socks5 proxy authentication, security is stronger than naked IP
3. the price is really cost-effective, dynamic residential 7.67 yuan / GB start
theirDynamic Residential Enterprise EditionEspecially suitable for studios, $9.47/GB also sends IP customization service. There was a cross-border e-commerce customer who used their U.S. residential IP for store management, and the account survival rate directly doubled.
The last nagging sentence: don't be greedy and choose a free agent! If you do, your data will be leaked, or you will be blocked. Regular service providers have a trial channel, like ipipgo new users can get a 3-day trial period, they have tested to be reliable.
