Japan Fixed Residential IP Buyer's Guide: 5 Cost-Effective Service Providers Recommended and Evaluated

How do you really choose a fixed residential IP in Japan? Read these four pitfalls first

The biggest headache for Japanese IPs is running into fake residences. Last time I helped a friend test a service provider, and the result was that using whoer.net to check the ASN number directly exposed the IP of the server room. real residential IPs must satisfy two points:Operator attribution is clear+The IP type is displayed as "Residential".The first thing you need to do is to use a local Japanese website to measure the speed of your computer. Here's an old-fashioned way to measure the speed of a local Japanese website. For example, if yahoo.co.jp loads in more than 3 seconds, it's probably a shared bandwidth.

How does dynamic static work? Scene to Scene

Many white people can not tell the difference between dynamic and static. To cite a chestnut, do cross-border e-commerce to raise the number with theDynamic Residential (Standard)If you want to change your IP address every time you log in, it's safer; if you want to do something like live streaming that requires a fixed address, go directly to theStatic homesPackages. Here's a trick to save money: the dynamic package traffic billing model, you can ask customer service for theIdle Time Traffic PackThe early morning hours can be about 30% cheaper.

ipipgo hands-on handbook: these features really smell good!

I've been using his Dynamic Enterprise package for the last three months, and the best surprise is that there's aIP warm-up function. Before a new IP is used for the first time, the system automatically simulates browsing behavior to avoid being recognized as a new device. The code calls are also simple, and the Python examples given in their documentation can be directly applied:

import requests
proxies = {
  'http': 'http://user:pass@jp-resi.ipipgo.cc:8080',
  'https': 'https://user:pass@jp-resi.ipipgo.cc:8080'
}
resp = requests.get('https://example.com', proxies=proxies)

The thing to watch out for is theirFlow calculation rulesThe point that repeated requests for the same resource are not billed is very conscientious. Previously tested the continuous crawl the same web page 100 times, the actual only deducted 0.3GB of traffic.

A must-see for whites: three common rollover sites

1. Sudden IP failure: Don't rush to customer service first, check whether the system time is automatically synchronized. Japan IP is sensitive to time zone, we suggest to use UTC+9 time zone.
2. Internet speed is slow as a snail's pace: 80% is the wrong choice of protocol, games with Socks5, web browsing with HTTPS protocol!
3. Accounts are being windedRemember to clear your browser fingerprints after each IP switch, we recommend using the ipipgo client comes with theVirtual Environment Generator

Cold knowledge: buy packages in this way to save 50%

There's a hidden setting in their home pricing system--The larger the traffic package, the lower the unit price. The actual test buy 500GB dynamic package, converted down to each GB as long as 5.2 yuan. There is also a wool trick: first buy the smallest package to try, and then find customer service to say that they are considering long-term cooperation, the probability will be given to thetiered discount. However, pay attention to business packages require business license certification, individual users do not hard to get together.

QA session: I've stepped over these potholes for you

Q: Do I need real-name authentication for Japanese IP?
A: Depends on the service provider, like ipipgo's static residence need to submit passport/resident card, dynamic packages don't need to

Q: Does the cell phone work?
A: Android directly install the client on the line, iOS need to configure the description file, their official website has video tutorials

Q: What should I do if my IP is blocked?
A: Dynamic IP will be automatically switched, static IP can apply for free replacement, there are 3 times a month quota

Finally, don't buy the so-called "exclusive IP" of third-party merchants, many of which are NAT forwarding. It is recommended to buy directly from the official website. Recently, I found out that you can use Alipay to place an order on their webpage.Exchange rate concessions, quite a bit more cost-effective than microsoft pay.
