How the hell does this web proxy thing work?
Recently, I've been asked what to do if I want to read a foreign webpage. For example, they want to look up a thesis or see the price of overseas goods. This is where a web proxy comes in handy - it's an online tool that allows you to temporarily switch network outlets without installing software, just by opening your browser. But be careful.Don't do anything sensitive with it.After all, public proxies are far less secure than your own wifi.
These are the scenarios where it's most cost-effective to use a proxy
1. Literature search to the hand soft: foreign academic website loading as slow as a snail, with the agent can be two or three times faster!
2. Chopping before the price comparison must: the same commodity in different countries e-commerce platform price difference can be scared to death!
3. Test site adaptability: do foreign trade bosses want to see their own site in foreign countries to open what effect
4. Catching up on dramas to save the day: Suddenly discovering that a certain video episode is only available in a certain region (you know the drill).
That's how you pick a good agent.
The market agent mixed, remember these three points to avoid the pit:
①Agreements should be new: Priority is given to those that support HTTPS and have encrypted data transmission.
②Nodes should be more: Especially in cold countries, like small African countries, where proxy resources are the hardest to find.
③Can change IP: Switch in time when IP access is restricted.
// Sample API calls for ipipgo (Python version)
import requests
def get_proxy():
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy"
params = {
"country": "us",
"protocol": "https",
"apikey": "your proprietary key"
}
response = requests.get(api_url, params=params)
return response.json()['proxy']
Hands on with ipipgo!

Final rant:Don't log in to important accounts in a proxy environmentIt's a good idea to use them for temporary use, but for long-term needs, it's recommended to go directly to their cloud server. If you want to use it temporarily, you should go to their cloud servers for long-term needs, because they are as stable as an old dog.
