When a team of 20 people share proxy IPs, the finance department mistakenly touches the data of the business system, and the operation and maintenance group can't quickly troubleshoot IP anomalies - these kinds of permission confusion problems are common in traditional proxy services. Today we share how to use ipipgo's Socks5 proxy solution to realize enterprise-level permission granular management.
First, the 3 major pain points of enterprise agency authority management
1. Blurred boundaries of authority
The sales department needs to switch U.S. IPs frequently to capture data, while the customer service team only needs fixed Southeast Asian IPs to process work orders. Mixing IP pools leads to wasted resources and operational risks.
2. Difficulty in tracing logs
When the same IP is used by more than one person, it is impossible to locate the responsible person when abnormal operation occurs, and the audit report lacks an effective basis.
3. Weak security controls
Vulnerabilities such as departing employees not disabling their accounts in a timely manner and outsourced staff not having their permissions recalled may trigger the risk of data leakage.
II. Design of the ipipgo rights management program
pass (a bill or inspection etc)Three-level authority system + dynamic IP allocation, solving the challenge of collaborating with IP in the enterprise:
privilege level | functional privilege | The ipipgo implementation |
---|---|---|
janitors | IP pool allocation, user group management, log export | Master Account Console Operation |
Head of Department | Viewing the group's usage history, applying for IP extension | Sub-account hierarchical authorization |
ordinary employee | Calling a specified IP segment, viewing the operation guide | API key binding privileges |
Example of operation:
- Create "Marketing_US" IP group: limited to 10 dynamic US residential IPs with 20GB daily traffic cap
- Set "R&D Test Group" permission: only allow to use Singapore static IP, prohibit to visit the payment website.
Three, enterprise-level rights configuration four steps
Step 1: Create an organizational tree
Log in to the ipipgo console and create a tree directory by department/project group, with each node independently configured with IP pools and access rules.
Step 2: Set up two-factor authentication
Enable "Password + SMS Verification" login for administrator account, key operations need to be confirmed twice to avoid misuse.
Step 3: API Key Hierarchy Management
Generate three types of keys:
① Data Collection Key (Binding Dynamic IP for Automatic Rotation)
② System docking key (fixed IP whitelist)
③ Temporary visitor key (validity ≤ 24 hours)
Step 4: Abnormal Behavior Monitoring
Enable the Smart Alert function to automatically trigger an alert when the following conditions are detected:
- Single IP overclocking access (>500 times/minute)
- Very useful for regional IP calls (e.g. Brazilian IP access to Japanese systems)
- Out-of-hours API calls
Four, ipipgo enterprise version of the three core competencies
1. Permission granularity control
Supports four-dimensional permission settings by "user - IP segment - time segment - target website", e.g. restricting interns to access designated e-commerce platforms only on weekdays from 9 to 18 pm using Hong Kong IP.
2. Operation Log Traceability
Complete documentation of each API call corresponds to:
- Operation User ID
- Actual IP usage
- Access to the target domain
- Transmission data volume
Retain logs for 180 days for audit verification.
3. High-risk operational meltdowns
Automatically blocks connections when the following behaviors are detected:
- Simultaneous login from multiple locations with the same IP
- Key expires more than 3 times in 15 minutes
- Access to known malicious domains
V. Frequently Asked Questions (QA)
Q: Will multiple people sharing IP affect each other?
A: ipipgo adoptedIndependent session isolation technologyEven if multiple people use the same IP address, their cookies and access logs are completely independent of each other, so there is no data crosstalk.
Q: How do I reclaim my privileges after an outsourced staff member leaves?
A: Two treatments:
① Set the expiration date in the "Temporary Account" module and automatically deactivate it when it expires.
② Restrict outsourced personnel to access only the test environment IP through the "privilege sandbox" function.
Q: How to unify the management of multinational branches?
A: It is recommended to adopt "Center Node + Regional Mirror" architecture:
- Centralized management of privilege policies from the headquarters console
- Deployment of independent IP pool mirroring in the EMEA/APAC region
- Real-time synchronization of all operation logs to headquarters
