True story! Cross-border bosses have stepped on the pitfalls of choosing agent IP
Last year, a friend who did Southeast Asian e-commerce touted with me, using a certain agent service to catch the price of competing products, and the result was that the account was blocked collectively. Later found that their IP pool 80% is a data center IP, the platform algorithm a catch a precise. This thing makes me realize thatChoosing a proxy IP is not about price and quantity, it's about business scenarios and underlying technology.The first thing that you need to do is to get your hands dirty. Take a real-life example of ipipgo today and break it down to understand what's going on here.
Three hard-core indicators determine life and death
Let's start with this comparison table of what exactly to choose between dynamic and static homes:
| comparison term | Dynamic Residential | Static homes |
|---|---|---|
| Applicable Scenarios | Short-term data capture/comparison | Long-term account operation |
| IP Survival Time | 3-30 minutes adjustable | Fixed from 30 days |
| costing | pay per traffic flow | pay per hour |
For example, to do Amazon follow the sale, 8:00 am to catch the price of the United States station, this time with ipipgo's dynamic residential, set the IP survival 5 minutes, automatically switch 200 different states home IP. not only will not be sealed by the platform, but also than to buy a fixed IP to save 60% cost.
Cross-border Business Practical Guide
Scenario 1: Multi-store anti-association
A client operates 20 stores in TikTok Shop, and before using shared IPs led to account blocking. After switching to ipipgo's static residential, each store is bound to a specific city IP, for example, the one selling swimsuits is bound to a Miami IP, and the one selling skiing equipment is bound to a Denver IP, and the account has not been blocked again for half a year.
// Python Fixed IP Binding Example
import requests
proxy = {
"http": "http://user:pass@us-denver.ipipgo-ip.com:3000",
"https": "http://user:pass@us-denver.ipipgo-ip.com:3000"
}
response = requests.get('https://www.tiktok.com', proxies=proxy)
Scenario 2: Live streaming without dropping
Cross-border live broadcasting is most afraid of lagging and dropping. A jewelry customer with ordinary proxy, each live broadcast interrupted an average of 3 times. After switching ipipgo's TikTok line, through the exclusive channel of Los Angeles-Hong Kong-Mainland, the delay was reduced from 230ms to 80ms, and the live broadcast of the 8th of March promotion was continuous for 8 hours without interruption.
Hands-on questions you'll want to ask
Q: How long is the appropriate IP time limit setting?
A: Sub-business look - data collection set up 3 minutes, social operation set up 24 hours, payment operation recommended fixed IP. ipipgo background can be set upIntelligent switching strategy, such as detecting the CAPTCHA and automatically changing IP.
Q: How do I use a combination of dynamic and static IPs?
A: Refer to this configuration program:
- Main account: Static IP (fixed city)
- Data crawler: dynamic IP (random switching)
- Payment link: static IP + device fingerprint binding
Q: Can a number that has been blocked be saved?
A: First change ipipgo's pure IP, clean up the browser fingerprints, and log in with the new device. There is a customer who is an independent website, the blocked account recovery rate increased from 15% to 72%.
Remember these three things when choosing a service provider
1. Look at the IP source: be able to provideProof of home broadband accessof (ipipgo per IP checkable ASN number)
2. Measure the switching speed: a good proxy completes the switching within 1 second, while a poor one takes 5-10 seconds (ipipgo can measure the switching delay in the background).
3. Check the log records: do not choose the one that keeps a log of the user's operations (ipipgo realizes zero logs by means of triple encryption).
Last but not least, some agents will disguise data center IPs as residential IPs, so I'll teach you how to detect them: use ipipgo'sIP Authenticity Detection Interface, enter the following code to find out the underlying type:
curl --proxy http://user:pass@proxy.ipipgo.com:3000
https://api.ipipgo.com/ip_check
If you see "residential:true" in the return result, it is the real residential IP. In these years of cross-border business, I have seen too many enterprises fall into trouble because of using the wrong proxy. Remember.Business scenarios determine technical solutionsIf you want to get the most out of your service, you should first clarify your needs before choosing a service, and don't get sidetracked by those advertisements of "millions of IP pools".
