Proxy IP Traffic Mirroring Solution_Copy Traffic for Security Audit

What exactly does proxy IP traffic mirroring solve?

Many enterprises have encountered such an embarrassment: security teams need to analyze abnormal traffic, but directly in the production environment to capture packets for fear of affecting business. At this time, through the proxy IP to realize traffic mirroring, just like the system installed a "surveillance camera", both real-time copy of the transmission data, but will not interfere with the original business channel.

While traditional solutions often require the procurement of specialized equipment or the transformation of network architecture, by utilizing ipipgo's proxy IP service, designated traffic can be automatically replicated to the auditing system by simply deploying proxy nodes in the existing network structure. This solution is especially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, which do not need high hardware investment and can quickly build a security protection system.

Build a traffic mirroring system in three steps

Step 1: Deploy the proxy gateway
In the business server front-end configuration ipipgo proxy node, it is recommended to select and business location matching residential IP. for example, the main users in the country, the choice of dynamic residential IP in the north, so as to ensure that the access speed, but will not trigger the site protection mechanism.

Step 2: Setting up triage rules
The proxy control panel allows you to set the characteristics of the traffic to be mirrored, such as POST requests for the login interface or API calls during certain times. For example, POST requests for the login interface or API calls during a specific period of time. ipipgo supports HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 protocols, allowing you to flexibly configure mirroring policies for different protocols.

Step 3: Docking the analytics system
Transmit mirrored traffic to the security audit platform in real time. Here's a tip: It is recommended to use ipipgo's static residential IPs as the transmission channel.Long-term stability and low latencyfeatures that ensure the integrity of audit data is not lost.

E-commerce platform case analysis

A cross-border e-commerce company had suffered a malicious crawler attack, the attacker mimicked normal user behavior to place orders, resulting in abnormal inventory data. After using the ipipgo proxy service, the technical team realized:

As you can see from this case, the judicious use of proxy IP'sTraffic replication + geographic analysisfeatures that can quickly locate the source of security threats.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Does mirroring traffic leak user privacy?
A: ipipgo's traffic mirroring supports field filtering, which can automatically desensitize sensitive information such as cell phone numbers and ID cards during transmission, in compliance with GDPR compliance requirements.

Q: Does handling business traffic and mirrored traffic at the same time affect speed?
A: ipipgo's proxy nodes use a dedicated channel to transmit mirror data, and actual tests show that service latency increases by only 8-15ms, which is well within the acceptable range.

Q: Should I choose dynamic or static proxies?
A: Business traffic is recommended to use dynamic residential IP to avoid blocking, mirror transmission is recommended static residential IP to ensure stability. ipipgo supports both types, and supports API real-time switching.

Realizing traffic mirroring through proxy IP is essentially adding a layer of "transparent protection network" to the system without changing the existing architecture. This solution not only inherits the functions of traditional security auditing, but also has the unique features of proxy IP.Flexible deployment and precise positioningAdvantage. For organizations that need to balance business continuity and security, ipipgo offers a technology solution that is truly worth trying.
