How to fill in the proxy type http? Server address, port, authentication information to fill in the specification

HTTP Proxy Configuration Hands-On

engaged in network crawlers or data collection friends, it is inevitable to deal with the HTTP proxy. Today we will chatter about the proxy configuration of the doorway, to ensure that you can get started after reading the operation. Focus on the server address, port, how to fill in this key information is not wrong, and by the way, the correct way to open our ipipgo proxy service.

Don't fill in the server address.

The server address of an HTTP proxy looks like a web address but is not a web address, the common format isgateway.ipipgo.ioorDynamically generated subdomains. Note three things:

Example of error: http://123.45.67.89:8000
Correct position: gateway.ipipgo.io or us-california.node.ipipgo.io

If you use ipipgo, log in to the backend and copy the address directly in the "Connection Information", don't make it up yourself. The address of the dynamic proxy may change, so it is recommended to use the API to get the latest connection information in real time.

There's something to be said for port numbers.

The port is like the door number of the proxy service, if you fill in the wrong one, you can't connect. The common port range is between 8000-9000, and different package types correspond to different ports:

If you are using ipipgo's SERP API service, remember to fill in the port8443This dedicated channel.

Authentication information to prevent stepping on potholes

Now the mainstream proxy services have to account password authentication, the format of attention do not get confused:

// Error Demonstration
Username: user123@ipipgo.com
Password: P@ssw0rd!

// Correct format
Username: ipipgo_client_id
Password: dynamically generated authorization code (look it up in console)

The code is written this way when requesting in Python:

import requests

proxies = {
    "http": "http://客户ID:授权码@gateway.ipipgo.io:8000",
    "https": "http://客户ID:授权码@gateway.ipipgo.io:8000"
}

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

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: What happens if I fill in the wrong port?
A: If the connection timeout is light, the security alarm will be triggered. It is recommended to test the connectivity with telnet command first:

telnet gateway.ipipgo.io 8000

Q: Do I have to enter the authentication information every time?
A: If you use ipipgo, it is recommended to configure automatic authentication in the code. For web browser use, you can save it to the password manager.

Q: What should I do if the server address suddenly fails to connect?
A: Check the console status page first. ipipgo's Enterprise Edition users can switch alternate access points, such as with thebackup-gateway.ipipgo.ioInstead of the regular address.

• Support HTTP/SOCKS5 dual protocol switching
• Each IP binding independent authorization code, not afraid of account leakage

Lastly, I'd like to remind you that when you configure a proxy, don't use the free address you find on the Internet. I have had a customer who tried to save a lot of trouble by using a rogue proxy, and not only did his account get blocked, but his data was also intercepted. Professional matters should be left to regular service providers like ipipgo, after all, data security is no small matter.
