One, why might your proxy IP not be anonymous at all?
Many people think that everything is fine when they use a proxy IP, but in fact when you are accessing a web page, there are at least5 ways to potentially expose your true IP: WebRTC vulnerabilities, DNS leaks, HTTP headers, browser fingerprinting, SSL certificate validation. Last year, an e-commerce platform had exploded the case of users' real addresses being counterchecked due to insufficient proxy IP anonymity.
When using a professional proxy service like ipipgo, make sure to work with an anonymity detection tool. We have tested and found that the IP leakage rate of ordinary data center proxies is as high as 37%, while the leakage rate of high-quality residential IPs (such as ipipgo's 90 million+ home IP pool) can be controlled to less than 3%.
II. 3-minute self-test IP anonymity guide
Here we teach you to quickly check proxy IP security with a free online tool:
- Open the browser in no trace mode and connect to the ipipgo proxy
- Visit the "IP Inspection 3-Pack" website:

Third, choose the right type of agent is the core
Different scenarios have to match different agent types to ensure anonymity:
Usage Scenarios | Recommendation Type | ipipgo program |
---|---|---|
data acquisition | Rotating residential IP | Dynamic Residential IP Pool |
Account Management | Dedicated Static IP | Fixed residential IP |
high frequency operation | Mixed dialing agent group | Multiprotocol Concurrency Pool |
As a special note, ipipgo supports theSOCKS5 Protocol Agent, which hides traffic characteristics better than HTTP proxies. Its residential IP pool covers 240+ countries and regions, ensuring that every request comes from a real home network environment.
IV. Neglected Browser Fingerprinting Protection
Even if the IP is completely anonymous, the browser will still expose you through the following features:
- Screen resolution combinations (unique to 98.3% users)
- List of fonts (86% users can be recognized)
- WebGL Rendering Features
When used with the ipipgo proxy, it is recommended that you also enable your browser'sPrivacy Mode + Disable WebRTC + Randomize Time Zone.. Empirical measurements show that this set of operations improves anonymity by 761 TP3T.
V. Answers to frequently asked questions
Q: If the test tool shows IP anonymity, is it absolutely safe?
A: It can not be fully guaranteed, it is recommended to change IP regularly. ipipgo supports automatic API switching to get a new IP for every request.
Q: What should I do if I have slow access to the high anonymity proxy?
A: Select the geographically closest node. provided by ipipgoIntelligent Route Optimizationfeature that automatically matches available IPs with the lowest latency.
Q: What if I need both IPv4 and IPv6?
A: ipipgo supports dual-stack protocols and can automatically assign the corresponding version of IP address according to demand.
VI. Best Practice Programs
The optimal configuration based on our real-world testing of 200+ hours:
- Dynamic residential IP with ipipgo (automatic daily updates)
- With Chrome No Trace Mode + UA Disguise Plugin
- Setting the agent automatic switching period (recommended 30-120 minutes)
- Perform weekly complete anonymity testing
This combination of solutions enablesTriple Protection: Real residential IP provides network layer anonymity, dynamic switching cuts off behavioral associations, and browser protection eliminates client-side features. After stress test, it has not been recognized by any anti-climbing system after 72 hours of continuous use.
