When Proxies Meet Encryption Trouble
Many friends in the use of proxy ip have encountered such an embarrassment: obviously configure the right parameters, access to ordinary sites no problem, but encountered with https site on the break. This is like a layer of bulletproof vest to the courier package, the results of the courier can not find the key to open the box.
There's actually a misconception to correct here:The proxy itself is not responsible for decrypting the dataWhen using an HTTPS proxy, the proxy just forwards the encrypted data as it is. When using an HTTPS proxy, the proxy server just forwards the encrypted data as is, and the whole process is like a relay race, where each node just passes on the encrypted package, and no one unwraps it to see what's inside.
Practical Configuration Pit Avoidance Manual
Taking Python's requests library as an example, many newbies are prone to fall into the certificate validation pit. The correct configuration posture should look like this:
import requests
proxies = {
'https': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:8080'
}
response = requests.get('https://example.com', proxies=proxies, verify=True)
Notice here theverify=True can't just turn it off.Otherwise it's like sticking a safe deposit box password on the box. ipipgo's proxies come with root certificates pre-installed and work fine without turning off certificate validation.
Protocol Selection Cross Reference

| Web Data Collection | HTTPS | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| API interface call | HTTP | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| file transfer | Socks5 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
ipipgo's.Cross-border special line agentThe measured latency can be controlled within 200ms, which is 3-5 times faster than regular lines. Especially their TK dedicated line, basically can't feel the lag when processing video streaming data.
White common rollover site
1. Certificate error reporting chainSSL_ERROR_SYSCALL: Don't panic when you encounter SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL, first check if the proxy address has a port number. The most outrageous case I've seen is filling in the API key as a password, which resulted in 12 consecutive errors!
2. Speed metaphysics issuesSometimes it's not the proxy that's the problem, the target site may have TLS 1.3 enabled. At this time, switch to ipipgo static residential proxy, the speed can immediately come up!
3. Sudden IP failure: Dynamic agents typically have a lifecycle of 3-15 minutes, and important operations are recommended to use theirDedicated Static IP35 bucks a month saves a lot of trouble.
QA First Aid Kit
Q:Why can't I access the website after opening the proxy?
A: 80% is protocol mismatch, try to put https://换成http://开头的代理地址, or check whether the client opens the global mode
Q: How do I choose a package for enterprise applications?
A: Crawler business choose dynamic standard version, financial system with enterprise version, overseas business directly on the cross-border line. Their customer service can be customized according to the amount of business ladder offer, than the official website price can be cheaper 2%!
Q: How is proxy authentication handled in the code?
A: Never write a dead account password in the code! Use ipipgo's API to get temporary credentials dynamically, it's safer to auto refresh every hour. Their SDK package comes with a key rotation module, which can be used directly by importing it!
Finally said a cold knowledge: ipipgo's proxy pool is automatically updated every day 20% IP resources, the frequency of this update in the industry is considered a very conscientious. Used their SERP special agent will know, catch Google search results do not have to adjust the interval time, the system will automatically allocate the best export node.
