Proxy IP Whitelist Configuration: IP Authorization and Access Rights Management

Why does your business need proxy IP whitelisting?

When multiple devices or systems access the server via proxy IP, whitelisting is like issuing passes to trusted visitors. For example, an e-commerce platform uses the proxy IP of ipipgo to process order data.Only pre-registered IPs can access the database, other unfamiliar requests are intercepted. This mechanism prevents both data leakage and malicious crawlers from interfering with business operations.

Proxy IP whitelisting in three steps

Step 1: Get the list of authorized IPs
In the "IP License Management" section of the ipipgo control panel, you can batch export the proxy IP addresses used by the current business. It supports filtering by region and protocol type. For example, when you select US static residential IP, the system will automatically generate IP segments in CIDR format.

Step 2: Server Permission Setting
Be careful when pasting these IP segments on the firewall configuration page:
- HTTP service recommended to open port 80/443
- Database services open only specific ports (e.g. 3306 for MySQL)
- Be sure to click the "Rule Enforcement" button every time you add an IP.

Step 3: Two-way verification mechanism
After enabling the "IP Binding" function in ipipgo client, the system will verify it at the same time:
1. Whether the access request comes from a whitelisted IP
2. Whether the proxy IP is bound to the corresponding account
This double authentication effectively prevents the IP from being illegally misappropriated

Three key tips for routine maintenance

- IP Change Alert: Enable ipipgo's email notification function to receive a reminder when the bound dynamic IP is about to expire.
- Batch operation tools: 200+ IPs can be authorized/unbundled at the same time on the "IP Group Management" page.
- Access log analysis: Weekly checking of blocked IP records for timely detection of abnormal access behavior

Real Scenario Problem Solving Examples

When a cross-border payment company used ipipgo proxy IP to dock the banking system, it encountered the problem of frequent whitelist failure. We found after troubleshooting:
1. they chose dynamic residential IP but did not turn on auto-renewal
2. Banking systems require IP authorization down to the minute.
Solution:
- Switch to ipipgo.Long-lasting static IPservice
- Setting up a timed whitelist update task in the console
Adjusted System Docking Stability Improvement 90%
