Proxy IP access to blocked websites: practical methods to bypass geographical restrictions and network blocking

Teach you to use proxy IP to break through website restrictions

Everyone should have encountered this situation: want to look up a data found that the web page can not be opened, or to catch up with a drama suddenly showed "this region is not available". At this time, the proxy IP can come in handy, just like the computer to wear a "face mask", so that the site can not recognize your real location.

What exactly is the principle of proxy IP?

Simply put, it's about getting an intermediate server to forward requests for you. For example, if you want to visit website A, you first let the proxy server knock on the door for you, and the website sees the proxy's address instead of your local one. This is like asking a friend living in Beijing to buy a limited Shanghai product for you, the shopkeeper has no idea who the actual buyer is.

 Python example: setting up a proxy with the requests library
import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口',
    'https': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口'
}

response = requests.get('destination URL', proxies=proxies)

How to choose between Dynamic IP and Static IP?

The difference between these two is like a temp job and a regular job:

Four Steps to Real-World Operation

Step 1: Getting Proxy Information
Creating a session in the ipipgo backend will get you three elements: IP address, port, and authentication information. Note that their dynamic proxies change IPs every time they connect, while static proxies are fixed.

Step 2: Configure Agent Parameters
If you're setting up your browser, find the Proxy Server Configuration item in the Advanced Settings. If you are writing code, bring in the proxy parameters like in the Python example above.

// Example of the curl command
curl -x http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口 Destination URL

Step 3: Test connectivity
First, visit a website like ipinfo.io that checks IPs and make sure the address displayed matches the country/city the proxy is set to.

Step 4: Formal opening
It is recommended to test with an unimportant trumpet first to make sure there is no problem before going on the main account. If you encounter the situation that the website CAPTCHA becomes too much, it may be that the current IP has been flagged, and changing to a new IP will solve the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit

Q: I still can't open the website after using the proxy?
A: First, check if there is any mistake in the proxy configuration, especially the port and password. If there is no problem, try to change the IP segment in the background of ipipgo, sometimes some IP segments will be blacked out by specific websites.

Q: What should I do if the static proxy suddenly fails to connect?
A: Don't panic, check the proxy status in the background. ipipgo's static proxy has 99.9% availability guarantee, and their technical customer service will respond within 5 minutes if something goes wrong.

Q: Will opening multiple accounts at the same time string IPs?
A: If you use a dynamic proxy, remember to set different IPs for each session. ipipgo's Enterprise Edition package supports multi-threaded independent IP allocation, so that you can open 100 windows without serial numbers.

Why do you recommend ipipgo?

Their dynamic proxies have more than 90 million real family IPs, covering more than 220 regions. For example, if you want to do a certain treasure data collection, you can accurately specify the IP to Hangzhou Yuhang District, which is much more accurate than ordinary agents. The static proxy is more of an enterprise-level service, with more than 500,000 IPs that are exclusive, especially suitable for businesses that need to raise numbers for a long period of time.

Recently, a cross-border e-commerce friend told me that he was always blocked by the platform. After changing ipipgo's static proxy, with their cross-border line (latency is only 2ms), the account has not been a problem. The most critical thing is that the billing is based on usage, small teams with the standard version of the package, a few dozen dollars a month will be able to deal with the basic needs.

Lastly, I'd like to remind you that you should look at the quality of the IPs when choosing a proxy service, and don't use free proxies on the cheap. Those public proxies have long been marked by the major sites rotten, but it is easy to trigger the wind control. Professional things or to ipipgo such a reliable service provider, save heart and trouble.
