How to use Hong Kong high-speed live line? Low latency setup tutorial and optimization solution

Hong Kong live dedicated line in the end how to play? Hands-on teaching you low latency configuration

Recently a lot of cross-border live friends are asking, with the Hong Kong dedicated line for why always stuck into the PPT, today we will nag some real, teach you how to use the proxy IP to delay to 0.5 seconds. Don't believe those fancy tutorials, follow me to do it right.

First, why do we have to use Hong Kong dedicated line?

Engaged in live all know, Hong Kong to the mainland physical distance nearest (straight-line distance is only more than 1000 kilometers). But the ordinary line to detour to the international exit, like driving around the third ring and then on the highway. ipipgo's cross-border line directly to the Shenzhen-Hong Kong direct fiber optic connection, measured more than 3 times faster than the regular line.

Here's the kicker! Their dedicated TK line supportsUDP protocol accelerationThis is especially critical for live streaming. Ordinary TCP protocol encounters network fluctuations on the frame, UDP can automatically skip the loss of packets directly to the next frame, pro-measurement can reduce the mosaic phenomenon of 60% or more.

Second, foolproof configuration tutorial

Take the OBS push stream as an example and follow the 5 steps below:

1. Open ipipgo client and select the "Live Private Line" category.
2. Filter Hong Kong nodes and check the "Low Latency Optimization" tab.
3. Copy the Socks5 proxy address (long like this: hk01.ipipgo.com:31028)
4. OBS Settings → Push Stream Service Customization:
  Server: rtmp://your live streaming platform address
  Key: your streaming code?proxy=socks5://hk01.ipipgo.com:31028
5. Click "Test Network" to see the latency, if it is more than 800ms, change the node.

Note! Don't use HTTP proxy mode, that thing has to go through one more layer of protocol conversion, which will increase the latency by 200-300ms. With Socks5, you can connect directly to the streaming server, it's as fast as if you didn't hang a proxy.

Third, the bottom of the pressure box optimization techniques

With these parameters dialed in, the latency can be cut by another half:

① Don't turn on 60 if the frame rate is locked at 30.

Many anchors feel that the higher the frame rate, the better, in fact, most of the platform will be transcoding compression. With ipipgo background traffic monitoring function, found that open 60 frames will eat 2 times more than 30 frames of traffic, latency instead of increasing!

Dynamic code rate adjustment

Check "Dynamic Bit Rate" in OBS Advanced Settings, and set the fluctuation threshold to 15%, so that when the network fluctuates, the bit rate will be automatically reduced to ensure smoothness, which is much more stable than the fixed bit rate.

③ Don't cache for more than 3 seconds

There is a buffer size in the proxy settings, and it is recommended to change the default of 5 seconds to 3 seconds. Although there may be occasional lag, but the overall delay can be reduced from 1.2 seconds to about 0.8 seconds

IV. The pitfalls you most often step into

QA 1: Smooth during the day and stuck in the middle of the night?
This is the pot of using a dynamic residential IP! More people use it at night and it steals bandwidth. Switch to ipipgo's static residential IP, each IP exclusive 100M bandwidth, the price is more expensive but the stability is doubled!

QA 2: What's the deal with live streaming of handheld games?
Android use VirtualXposed + proxy tool, iOS need to use TestFlight version of ipipgo custom client. The key is to adjust the proxy mode to "UDP penetration", otherwise the handheld live absolutely card out of the Shang!

QA 3: How to handle multi-platform push streaming?
In ipipgo client open "multiplexing" function, an IP can push 3 platforms at the same time. However, be careful not to exceed 50M bandwidth, otherwise it will be limited by the operator.

V. What package should I choose?

Honestly, if the monthly traffic exceeds 500GB, directly find their customer service to ask for a customized plan. Last time, there was a customer who did TikTok live broadcasting, got a wholesale price of 20% lower than the marked price, and was able to specify the location of the server room.

The last thing I want to say is don't believe in free proxies. Last week, a host with a wild IP, live to half of the IP platform was blocked, crying too late. Regular service providers like ipipgo are daily updated IP pool, sealed immediately automatically change, this is the way to save heart.
