Proxy server refuses to connect? 6 Common Error Causes and Solutions

First, the proxy IP pressure did not take effect? First check these 3 configuration pitfalls

Many newbies use proxy IP for the first time, often encounter the situation of not being able to connect to the server. At this time do not rush to scold the service provider.Maybe you didn't configure it right.. The most common are these potholes:

1. The protocols are mixed up.: For example, using a socks5 proxy to access a service that requires the http protocol. It's like drinking soup with chopsticks, not impossible, but easy to spill all over. It is recommended to use ipipgo, which supports all protocols, to save the trouble.

 Correct demonstration (Python requests library)
proxies = {
    'http': 'http://用户名:密码@ipipgo proxies:port',
    'https': 'http://用户名:密码@ipipgo proxy address:port'
}

2. Authentication information was missedThe regular proxy service now requires an account number and password. If you get a 407 error, in all likelihood you haven't filled in the credentials. ipipgo's account can be generated in the console, so be careful not to copy it incorrectly.

3. The whitelist isn't up.The first time I saw a cross-border e-commerce customer who couldn't connect to the server, it turned out that the server's IP had been changed and the whitelist hadn't been updated.

II. What to do if your IP is blocked? Dynamic residential agent to the rescue

Have you ever encountered this situation? The proxy IP you just bought is blocked after a few minutes of use. Especially if you are doing data collection, you will be recognized in minutes if you use a normal data center IP. This is the time to useDynamic Residential AgentsThe

ipipgo's Dynamic Residential Proxy has 90 million+ real home IPs, and each IP survival time can be set by yourself. For example, if you are doing social media operation, set the IP to change automatically every 5 minutes, which is much more stable than using fixed IP.

Third, the port is walled do not die, change the protocol to try!

Sometimes it's not the IP that's the problem, it's the port that's blocked by the target site. For example, some sites will block common proxy ports (1080, 3128 and so on). This time you can try:

1. Switch the socks5 protocol in the ipipgo console.
2. Use of non-standard ports
3. Enable protocol obfuscation (supported by some advanced agents)

Fourth, timeout problems do not dump pots, first test the local network

Have you ever encountered this situation? The proxy configuration is all right, but dead can not connect. This time do not rush to find customer service.Use this command to test the local network::

telnet Proxy IP Port

If it doesn't connect, it probably is:
- It's blocked by the local firewall.
- The router is set up with access restrictions
- Local network operator blocks certain ports

Fifth, the session to maintain have to pay attention to, sticky settings to understand

Special note for those doing account management! If you lose your login status when you use a dynamic IP, remember to enable thesticky sessionFeatures. ipipgo supports session hold from 1 minute to 24 hours, for example:

- Cross-border e-commerce multi-account operation: set up a 30-minute fixed IP
- Live broadcast data monitoring: Setting 2 hours of constant IP
- Price comparison system: set up 5-minute rotation

VI. Area restrictions too rigid? City-level positioning arrangements

Some websites will detect the geographic location of the IP. Previously, a customer to do local service promotion, using ordinary proxy always be recognized as foreign IP. change to ipipgoCity-level location agentsAfter that, the conversion rate came up immediately by directly specifying the local Chicago residential IP.
