Hands-on Socks5 Proxy Testing
Recently, a lot of friends asked how to measure the proxy speed, especially the kind of Socks5 proxy claimed to be "faster than the next door". Let's take ipipgo home services as a chestnut, directly on the dry goods do not nagging. The first whole understand speed test is not just look at the download speed, you have to look at the comprehensiveResponse time + stability + bandwidth capThe three axes.
We recommend using the curl command to measure base responsiveness, which is much more accurate than graphical tools. For example, measure a proxy node like this:
curl -x socks5://username:password@proxy_address:port --connect-timeout 5 -o /dev/null -s -w "Response time:%{time_total}s" https://www.example.com
注意把example.com换成你要访问的目标网站,这个能测出真实网络。ipipgo的客户端自带测速功能更直观,直接显示节点和丢包率。
代理ip秘诀藏在这三个细节
Many people do not realize that the agent speed is actually seven parts by configuration and three parts by metaphysics. Let's start with the serious ones:
| pothole | cure |
|---|---|
| DNS leak | Force Enable Remote DNS Resolution |
| Slow protocol handshake | Open TCP Quick Open |
| The bandwidth doesn't run enough. | Adjust MTU value to 1420 |
To cite a real case, a data collection customer with ipipgo static residential package, the original download speed stuck in 3MB/s, change the MTU directly soared to 9.8MB/s. This parameter has to be their own more than a few tries, the effect of the different network environments may be different from the old far.
Choosing a package depends on the doorway
The ipipgo package looks almost the same in fact different, dynamic residential standard version suitable for brushing web pages, enterprise version with automatic IP switching function. Focus on the static residential package, although the unit price looks expensive, but the fixed IP can save the trouble of frequent verification, the measured speed is higher than the dynamic 30% or so.
Here's a little trick to save money: do crawl can be used during the day with dynamic packages, night cut to static packages. ipipgo support at the same time bound to multiple packages, with their clients can automatically switch, so the cost can save forty percent.
QA time
Q:Why is the speed test very fast and the actual use of the card?
A: 80% is not enough concurrency, try to use ab command to pressure test:
ab -n 100 -c 10 -X proxy address:port test url
Q: How expensive is the Enterprise package?
A:主要多了IP自动轮换和请求优先级,比如做直播推流的时候,企业版能自动切到低线路,普通版得手动切换。
Q: How to choose the fastest overseas node?
A: Don't be superstitious about geographic location, the measured U.S. West node to access the Japanese website may be faster than the local node in Tokyo. ipipgo's cross-border dedicated line has intelligent routing, choose the automatic mode on the line.
Guide to avoiding the pit
Finally, a few easy mines to step on:
- Don't use free speed test sites, the data is not accurate and may leak proxy information.
- Turn off your computer's QoS limiting feature before speed testing
- Android phones remember to turn off battery optimization
