Hands-on teaching you to dig Hong Kong proxy IP treasure
Friends engaged in network projects know that the Hong Kong proxy IP is like a golden transit station, geographic location and network policy have a natural advantage. However, the agent services on the market are uneven, today we teach you a few wildcards, guarantee that you quickly fish for a reliable Hong Kong agent.
I. Three major channels to dig the spot
Don't be stupid and search for free proxies in your browserThe IPs in those lists were used up a long time ago. Proper channels have to look at these three places:
1. Provided by service providerstrial set(For example, new ipipgo users get 1G of traffic)
2. In the Technical Forumtime-limited benefit(Watch for posting times)
3. Enterprise customization programmetest channel(Suitable for long-term needs)
Take ipipgo's API extraction for example
import requests
url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy"
params = {
"key": "Your API key",
"region": "hk", "protocol": "socks5
"protocol": "socks5"
}
response = requests.get(url, params=params)
print(response.json())
Second, four strokes to sieve out the live IP
Don't wait to use the agent. Do it first.survival testing. Here's a dirt method:
1. Measure the response speed with curl command
2. Access to local Hong Kong websites (e.g. Hong Kong Observatory)
3. 10 consecutive requests for stability
4. Check IP type for board alignment (residential/computer room)
| Agent Type | Applicable Scenarios | reference price |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic Residential | Data collection, price monitoring | From $7.67/GB |
| Static homes | Account Management, Game Multi-Open | From $35/pc |
III. Guide to avoiding pitfalls in actual combat
Last week a friend doing e-commerce planted a headache, using a Hong Kong agent to synchronize inventory data.Changed 5 IPs in a row and got blocked.I'm not sure if you're a good person, but I'm a good person. It was resolved by switching to ipipgo's TK line, which is an enterprise line that goes on a carrier whitelist and is much more resistant to builds than regular proxies.
There's another common misconception:Thought all Hong Kong proxies are fastThe delay of the nodes in Kowloon and the New Territories may be as high as 20-30ms. In fact, it depends on the location of the server room, it is recommended to choose a local server on Hong Kong Island, the node latency in Kowloon and the New Territories may be as high as 20-30ms.
IV. First aid kit for difficult cases
Q: What should I do if I detect a proxy IP but can't connect to it?
A: First check if the port is blocked by the firewall, then try switching the protocol type (HTTP/HTTPS/Socks5)
Q: What if I need to manage multiple Hong Kong IPs at the same time?
A: With ipipgo's client tool, you can directly import the proxy list of batch switching, than the browser plug-in to save time!
Q: Proxy became stuck while using it?
A: Dynamic residential IP is recommended to switch every hour, static IP can contact customer service to refresh routing
V. Tips for selecting services for veteran drivers
Honestly, there are more agency service providers than convenience stores these days. I'd say focus on three things:
1. There is noon-line replacementFunctionality (ipipgo's API can change IPs in seconds)
2. Supportprotocol mixing(Some scenarios require a mix of HTTPS and Socks5)
3. Canhourly rate(Don't buy a monthly subscription for short-term projects.)
Lastly, the Hong Kong agent thing is about(of a movie etc) have the right scene for the right wayThe first thing you need to do is to get a static residential IP. If you are doing cross-border e-commerce, you can go directly to a static residential IP; if you are engaged in data crawling, a dynamic residential is more cost-effective. Don't listen to the merchants, what suits you is the real flavor.
