Why Proxy Server Port Scanning May Pose a Risk?
Port scanning is a common operation when you are performing network service testing or security inspection. But initiating a scan request directly with your own real IP address is like touching an unknown object without gloves - theEasily flagged as abnormal behavior by the target server. This can be as simple as triggering a firewall block, or as serious as having your IP address permanently blocked. More dangerously, some servers automatically record the source of scans, which can lead to unnecessary legal disputes.
Top 3 Advantages of Secure Scanning with Proxy IP
Using ipipgo's proxy IP service for port detection is the equivalent of putting a "protective suit" on your operation:
1. conceal one's identity: Replacing the real address with a residential proxy IP to avoid revealing your identity
2. Behavioral fragmentationDynamic switching of IPs in different regions reduces the probability of a single IP triggering the protection mechanism.
3. precise positioning: Selection of proxy IPs for regional testing in specific countries/cities

Practical tutorial: five steps to complete the security port detection
Take the ipipgo service as an example:
1. Get dynamic residential proxy API (supports HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 protocol)
2. Configure the proxy parameters in the scanning tool, e.g. Nmap add -proxy parameter
3. Set up automatic IP rotation intervals (5-10 minutes recommended)
4. Prioritize proxy nodes in the target location
5. Enable protocol masquerade mode (some devices filter scanning features)
Three risk points to which attention must be paid
Be careful even if you use a proxy IP:
① Scanning frequency control: no more than 5 requests per second from a single IP address
② Agreement Compliance: Avoid scanning using UDP protocol (prone to triggering alarms)
③ Principles of targeting: Restricted to servers for which you have administrative privileges
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Why is it recommended to use a residential proxy instead of a data center IP?
A: Residential proxies (such as the type provided by ipipgo) come from real home networks and are more difficult to recognize as proxies than server room IPs, and the detection success rate is improved by more than 60%.
Q: What should I do if I encounter port scanning being blocked?
A: Immediately switch the other regional nodes of ipipgo, adjust the scanning interval, and enable the protocol obfuscation function. It is recommended to prioritize the use of static residential IPs for critical service detection.
Q: How do I verify the anonymity of a proxy IP?
A: With the online inspection tool provided by ipipgo, you can view the IP type, carrier information and anonymity level in real time to ensure that quality proxy resources are used for every scan.
