What's the point of residential IP in the Philippines?
Let's take a real-life scenario: a friend who is doing cross-border e-commerce has a store that is always judged by the platform to be "a good place to be".account number abnormality", which was later found to be caused by frequent switching of login IPs. After switching to a local residential IP in the Philippines, the account status was immediately stabilized - this is the core value of residential IPs:Make the server think you are a real userThe
Businesses that engage in Philippine business often need it:
1. Simulation of local users visiting the e-commerce platform
2. Monitoring of local pricing strategies of competing products
3. Test APP compatibility on Philippine networks
A social software team, for example, tested with residential IPs and found that:Video loading speeds are 3x faster than using server room IPs on 4G networks in the Manila area
The Pitfalls of Manually Obtaining a Philippine IP
I've seen people use home broadband with a proxy before, and the results:
- The monthly electricity bill is more expensive than the agent's fee
- Service interruption during dynamic IP change
- Speed limit by carriers to the point of disbelief
What's more, some of the so-called "free proxies" can't connect to Philippine nodes at all, and 8 out of 10 of them show U.S. IPs.
// Error case: direct request with requests library
import requests
proxies = {'http': '123.456.789:8080'} unreliable free proxy
response = requests.get("http://ipinfo.io", proxies=proxies)
print(response.text) The output is probably a Texas IP...

Straight to the dry stuff: useipipgo's dynamic residential packagesThe company's technology solution is a little bit different from theirs, as it has been tested to be able to stably acquire IP segments of the three major carriers in the Philippines (Globe/Smart/DITO). Their technical solution is a bit interesting:
1. Automatic allocation per requestdifferent cityof IP (supports 8 regions such as Manila/Cebu)
2. Supportsession holdFunctionality, no fear of disconnection in the middle of data collection
3. There's one.IP Cooling MechanismAvoid blocking the same IP for high-frequency access
| Package Type | Applicable Scenarios | Price advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic residential (standard) | Short-term data collection | From $7.67/GB |
| Dynamic Residential (Business) | Long-term operational deployment | From $9.47/GB |
| Static homes | Fixed Equipment Certification | From $35/IP |
Hands-on access
As an example, a Python crawler extracts IPs using the ipipgo API:
import requests
API key from the console
API_KEY = "your_api_key_here"
Get a dynamic residential IP in the Philippines
def get_proxy():
url = f "https://api.ipipgo.com/proxy?country=PH&type=residential&key={API_KEY}"
resp = requests.get(url).json()
return f"{resp['proxy']}:{resp['port']}"
Example of use
proxy = get_proxy()
print(f "Currently used Philippines IP: {proxy}")
Output similar to 110.54.201.78:3128
Focused attention:It is recommended to add aIP Validity VerificationSometimes network fluctuations may cause individual IPs to be unavailable. ipipgo's client comes with this feature, so remember to handle it yourself if you use the API~.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Can I fix the city for a static residential IP?
A: Yes! For example, if you need to use Manila's IP for a long period of time, note your specific requirements when you create your order and their customer service will help you target a specific region!
Q: What happens if I use too much traffic?
A: Dynamic packages will automatically suspend the service without extra charges. It is recommended to set in the backgroundFlow warning thresholds
Q: Does it support Socks5 protocol?
A: It must be supported! Just add a parameter when extracting the API: &protocol=socks5
Why ipipgo?
Last year, when I was helping a friend's company choose a proxy service, I tested five providers. ipipgo had two.unique skill::
1. Access toHome Broadband IP(Unlike some service providers who actually change the IP of the server room)
2. Speed of responseWithin 200msof nodes accounted for more than 85%
Especially theirTK LineWhen doing data collection for TikTok's Philippine business, the success rate was pulled straight from 671 TP3T to 921 TP3T
One last piece of cold knowledge: mobile network IP scores in the Philippinesprepayrespond in singingpostpaidTwo types, ipipgo can automatically switch between these two types to avoid being recognized by the target site as commercial IP. this detail many service providers can not do...
