Japan Native IP Node Usage Guide: Local Real IP Settings

What's the point of native Japanese IP anyway?

Recently, some friends have asked me, what is the point of getting Japanese IP? Let's put it this way, what you do with a local Japanese IP is the same as a local person using a cell phone to swipe a web page. For example, some games in Japan to engage in limited activities, with our domestic IP simply can not get into the server; another example of cross-border e-commerce platforms, the local IP to log in to the store backstage will not be targeted by the wind control.

Here's where to draw the line:Native IP refers to the address directly assigned by the local carrier in JapanIt's not the same thing as those fake IPs that are generated in bulk by data centers. It's like when you go to a convenience store in Tokyo to buy Kanto-dono, using a local IP is like talking to the clerk in a Kansai accent, and the system can't tell that you're from out of town.

Hands-On Configuration of Local IP

Here take ipipgo's Socks5 proxy as an example, which is more robust than HTTP mode. First, generate the API link in the backend of the official website, and write down the extracted IP:Port.

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'socks5://user:pass@jp01.ipipgo.net:3000',
    'https': 'socks5://user:pass@jp01.ipipgo.net:3000'
}

response = requests.get('https://www.rakuten.co.jp', proxies=proxies)
print(response.status_code)

Note that you have to replace the user and pass with your own account authentication information. If you are too lazy to knock the code, their client is more economical, directly select the Japan region node on the line, do not even need to adjust the parameters.

Don't step on the three big pits

1. Don't do fixed things with dynamic IPsFor example, the game is easy to be blocked, this time to use the static residential package, 35 dollars that monthly rent is expensive, but the IP three months do not change!

2. Traffic packages should be selectedThe standard Dynamic Edition for web pages, the Enterprise Edition for videos, and the $9+ traffic package with QoS protection.

3. Don't use the wrong protocol.: Grab the data to go HTTP convenient to play the game must use Socks5, latency can be reduced 40%

Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit

Q: The IP is suddenly not connected when I use it?
A: First check whether the account is in arrears, and then change the TK line node (this to contact customer service to open), and finally reset the network configuration in the client

Q：Visiting some websites prompts abnormal geographic location?
A: It is likely to be DNS leakage, go to ipipgo client to turn on the "force local DNS" switch, and by the way, adjust the browser time zone to Tokyo time.

Q: What if I need to fix a certain IP for a long time?
A: directly to their technical brother to open a dedicated channel, can bind the longest 6 months of static IP, but this to sign a separate contract!

The doorway to choosing a service provider

Why do you recommend ipipgo? They have three great Japanese nodes:Full coverage of lines of the three major carriers NTT/Softbank/KDDI, unlike some small workshops that only have a single line;Client comes with exit detectionThe most important thing is that it can display the ASN number of the current IP in real time.Supports hourly billingIt doesn't hurt to use it temporarily.

Recently found a hidden function: add &isp=docomo after the API link, you can specify the mobile network outlet with docomo, simulate the cell phone access to the special good. This technique is not even written on their official website, it is the customer service told me privately.
