How to buy L2TP: A guide to the full process of configuring enterprise-class VPN access

What does L2TP have to do with proxy IPs? Let's get this straight!

Many people think that L2TP is simply to engage in VPN channel, in fact, it and the proxy IP can play flowers. To put it bluntly, L2TP is responsible for digging an encrypted tunnel on the public network, the proxy IP is the invisible cloak in the tunnel - your company's servers in Beijing, with the Turkish proxy IP, the other side to check the source of your traffic directly show Istanbul, this trick to cross-border e-commerce to check the logistics information is particularly useful.

The most common pitfall for enterprises using L2TP is that the IP exposes the real geographic location, and last year a customer doing overseas payment was planted in this, using the native IP to log in to PayPal directly by the wind control. Later, it was changed to ipipgo.Static Residential Agents, 35 bucks a month for a fixed UK IP and the account has never been bugged again.

Hands on with buying an enterprise L2TP proxy

Don't just search for "L2TP service provider", these days the serious enterprise service providers are packaged into solutions for sale. Focus on three points:Protocol compatibility,IP purity,Traffic Billing Method. Take ipipgo's corporate package as a chestnut:

Remember to selectL2TP Dedicated ChannelSome service providers have to open this permission manually. Don't rush to close the page after payment, immediately go to the console to generate the API key, which should be used in the later configuration.

Configuration Practice: Windows Server Side Operations

The most common Windows Server 2019 configurations are demonstrated here, remember to prepare in advance: server administrator privileges, L2TP key provided by ipipgo, and at least 2 proxy IPs from different regions.

 PowerShell executes the following command to install the role
Install-RsateAccessFeature -Name DirectAccess-VPN

 Modify the registry to enable L2TP
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:SystemCurrentControlSetServicesPolicyAgent" -Name AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule -Value 2

 Firewall release port
New-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName "L2TP_IPsec" -Protocol UDP -LocalPort 500,4500 -Action Allow

Focus on what tends to get stuck:pre-shared keyIt should be exactly the same as what is displayed in the background of ipipgo, including case and special symbols. If you encounter the error 789 code, it is likely that the certificate has not been installed correctly, re-import the server certificate once and you will be done.

How to play double agent on mobile

Android machine set up the most trouble-free, directly under the ipipgo APP on the line. Apple phones have to be configured manually, focus on these two steps:

1. Choose L2TP for type, not IPsec.
2. In Proxy Settings, run the manual and put in the socks5 address and port that ipipgo gave you.

After testing this setup, the traffic route is: cell phone → L2TP server → socks5 proxy → target website, equivalent to double anonymity. There is a TikTok live customer so engaged in, at the same time hanging Malaysia and Brazil IP, the number of people online directly doubled the live room.

A must-have guide to avoiding the pit

Question 1:Why does the IP not change when I connect to L2TP?
First check whether to enable the proxy chain, some clients need to open VPN and proxy settings at the same time. ipipgo users directly in the APP to check the "mandatory global proxy" on it!

Question 2:What should I do if my traffic consumption is abnormal?
I don't think it's P2P sharing, but I've turned off the upnp function in my router. ipipgo can set up a traffic alert in the background, and it will automatically send out an email reminder when it exceeds the package amount of 80%.

Question 3:What if I need to use multiple country IPs at the same time?
Buy a static residential package, 35 dollars a IP, support the simultaneous activation of 20 different regional IP. remember to do a good job in the routing table policy diversion, do not let the traffic go string!

Enterprise solutions can still play like this

A client doing offshore crowdfunding pulls off a trick: using ipipgo'sTK Line+L2TP for smart routing. Specifically:

• US user requests go to Los Angeles dynamic IP
• European requests are automatically cut to the Amsterdam node
• Payment interfaces are individually bound to static residential IPs

Their API docking code looks like this:

import requests
from ipipgo import Router

proxy = Router().get_proxy(country="auto")
response = requests.get(url, proxies={'http': proxy})

The monthly cost of this program is less than 2,000, which is 60% less than building your own server, and the key is that it can automatically avoid IP blacklists.

Tell the truth.

Don't expect to buy an L2TP account and everything will be fine, enterprise applications should considerIP Rotation Strategy,session hold timeThese details. I've seen people buy pheasant service providers on the cheap before and end up with flagged IPs resulting in blocked Amazon stores. ipipgo'sDynamic Residential Corporate PackageExpensive yes ($9.47/GB), but comes with automatic cookie clearing, suitable for businesses that need to operate multiple accounts.

Lastly, I'd like to remind you that you should pay for the test phase first, and don't buy a yearly subscription. Regular service providers support upgrading packages at any time, ipipgo can also apply for test money, new users whoring 20GB of traffic is not good?
