Hands on Instagram with ipipgo Proxy
Recently, many of my friends who are doing cross-border e-commerce have been asking about the constant problems with accessing Instagram with the regular network. Either the loading image goes round and round, or suddenly the account is restricted. Here we teach you to use proxy ip to get it done, note that we only discuss the legal compliance of network access needs.
Why use a residential proxy ip?
Ordinary server room ip is easy to be recognized as a robot, especially when operating in bulk. ipipgo's residential ip are real home networks, as if putting a local person's clothes on the phone. For example, if you want to look at Japanese girls' dressing trends and use their Tokyo residential ip, the system will think it's just an ordinary Japanese user swiping.
Here's the point:
- Dynamic ip is good for one-off operations (e.g. viewing a post temporarily)
- Static ip is good for long term number keeping (keep login record in fixed area)
- Don't use public proxies for cheap, you'll die in minutes.
Android cell phone real-world match configuration
Take Redmi phone as an example, open Settings → WLAN → Long press the connected WiFi. focus on theAgent TypeTo select the player, fill in the proxy address given by the ipipgo backend. Here is easy to error is the port number, SOCKS5 protocol default 1080, https protocol with 3128.
Proxy server: jp-01.ipipgo.pro
Port: 1080
Proxy bypassed address: instagram.com,facebook.com
Note that this last proxy bypass setting has to bereverse operation! A lot of tutorials have it written backwards, you should actually add the IG domain here to get the traffic to go through the proxy channel.
Apple Phone Special Settings
The iOS system is rather closed, so a tool like Shadowrocket is recommended (don't ask me where to download it). After importing the subscription link provided by ipipgo, remember to open thesub-application agentFunction. The most pitiful situation I've encountered was turning on the global agent, only to have my AppleID locked...
Measured effective configuration scheme:
- SOCKS5 for protocol (more stable than http)
- Enable UDP forwarding (a must for swiping videos)
- Enable IPv6 Precedence (required for some regional networks)
Universal program for computers
We recommend using Firefox directly and searching for proxy in about:config. Here's a piece of trivia: put the proxy address in thenetwork.proxy.socks_remote_dnsin the parameter, which is more hidden than the regular settings.
// Terminal test commands
curl -x socks5://user:pass@us-02.ipipgo.pro:1080 -L https://www.instagram.com
If it returns a 403 error, it is likely that the IP has been tagged. At this time, go to ipipgo background pointChange IP immediately, don't be stupid and wait for the automatic switch.
QA Frequently Asked Questions Demining
| problematic phenomenon | method settle an issue |
|---|---|
| I can open the webpage but can't swipe the picture | Switch to a static residential package and turn off ad-blocking plug-ins |
| "Suspicious login attempt" | Lock the country in the ipipgo backend and keep it the same for 72 hours |
| Frequent dropouts in the early morning hours | Change protocol from SOCKS5 to HTTP to reduce QoS probability |
A Little Tree of Thumb for Choosing Packages
ipipgo's Dynamic Residential is divided into Standard Edition and Enterprise Edition, and the Standard Edition is enough for ordinary people. If you operate more than 5 accounts at the same time, directly on the enterprise version with a fixed IP pool. I have a friend to do clothing independent station, with their static residential package, half a year did not change the IP, the comment area flow never turn over.
Last reminder: don't update the app while the proxy is on! Especially for iOS, it's easy to trigger double authentication. If your account is temporarily restricted, turn off the proxy and log in once with traffic, wait 24 hours and then reconfigure. If you don't understand anything, go directly to the ipipgo website to find 24-hour online technical customer service, which is much more reliable than the wild tutorials on the Internet.
