Dedicated IP server rental: AWS/AliCloud and other cloud vendors configuration

How to use cloud servers with proxy IPs more efficiently?

When many users rent AWS and AliCloud servers, they often encounter situations where access to a single IP is limited. At this time, accessing the cloud server through ipipgo's proxy IP service is like equipping the server with a "smart navigation system". For example, when deploying services in the Hong Kong node of AliCloud, with ipipgo's Japanese residential IP, you can not only maintain the performance advantage of the server, but also obtain the characteristics of network access to specific regions.

In practice, there are three matching principles to keep in mind:Geographic Matching(The target business region is the same as the region where the proxy IP is located),protocol matching(HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 on demand),IP Type Matching(Dynamic IP is good for high-frequency operations, static IP is good for long-term sessions.) ipipgo's full protocol support and dynamic-static optional features are just the thing for these combinations.

Three key points for configuring proxy IPs for cloud servers

1. Network Topology Design: It is recommended to deploy the proxy IP in the front-end of the application server to form a three-tier architecture of "cloud server-proxy pool-target website". This can avoid blocking the IP of cloud server and realize request diversion.

2. Authentication Method Selection: ipipgo supports both username-password and whitelist authentication modes. For platforms like AWS with strict security group configuration, it is recommended to use whitelist authentication and add the cloud server public IP to the proxy service authorization list in advance.

3. Connection Pool Management: It is recommended to use a connection pooling tool (e.g. squid or customized script) on the cloud server with ipipgo's API interface to achieve automatic proxy IP replacement. Remember to set a reasonable request interval to avoid triggering the target website protection mechanism.

On-site resolution of common configuration problems

Question 1: Access slows down after configuring a proxy?
Check the physical distance between the proxy IP and the cloud server. It is recommended to screen nodes with latency below 150ms through ipipgo's speed measurement tool. Also confirm whether the bandwidth of the cloud server is running full, and upgrade the server configuration if necessary.

Question 2: How to avoid IP blocking?
Turn on the intelligent rotation mode in the ipipgo backend and set the maximum usage time for a single IP (15-30 minutes is recommended). For scenarios that require session maintenance, you can choose the static residential IP + automatic CAPTCHA recognition solution.

Why choose a professional agency service provider?

Self-built proxy pools not only require maintenance of servers, but also deal with complex issues such as IP validation, protocol adaptation, etc. ipipgo provides a ready-made solution that directly interfaces with a pool of 90 million+ residential IPs and supports on-demand API calls to get the latest available IPs. in particular, theirCity-level positioningThe function can accurately match the characteristics of the network environment in the target area, which is especially useful in scenarios such as e-commerce data collection and local service testing.

QA Fast Track

Q: What ports need to be open on the cloud server?
A: Depending on the type of proxy protocol, you usually need to open ports such as 1080 (SOCKS5), 3128 (HTTP), etc. Refer to the access documentation provided by ipipgo.

Q: Can multiple cloud servers share proxy packages?
A: Support multiple devices connecting at the same time, but pay attention to the IP concurrent number limit. It is recommended to create sub-accounts in ipipgo console to assign independent authorization information for each server.

Reasonable use of the combination of cloud servers and proxy IP can break through the limitations of a single machine with a single IP. Through ipipgo such a professional proxy service provider, not only to ensure business stability, but also to avoid the trouble of maintaining their own IP pool. The next time you configure a cloud server, you may want to plan the use of proxy IP program, often can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
