What exactly does a European HTTPS proxy do?
When many people first hear about European HTTPS proxies, they think they are particularly complex technical tools. In fact, it is like adding an "invisible courier" to the network request, using the real residential IP in Germany or the United Kingdom to help you send and receive data. For example, to do cross-border e-commerce sellers need to check the price of local goods, or to do market research to collect local data in Europe, this time directly with their own domestic IP is easy to trigger the site protection mechanism.
There are two particularly useful things about ipipgo's European Residential Agents.Automatically changes real home IPs in different cities every time you connectTwo.HTTPS encryption for all data transmission. It's like having an invisibility cloak and a safe at the same time, without revealing your true location and without ensuring that the transmission is not intercepted.
What's the best way to choose between a German IP and a UK IP?
These two countries have slightly different proxy IPs in terms of usage scenarios, and we've put together a comparison table:
typology | Applicable Scenarios | caveat |
---|---|---|
IP Germany | Automotive industry data collection, industrial equipment information query | Be aware of the EU GDPR privacy provisions |
UKIP | Financial information acquisition, cross-border e-commerce operation | Some sites distinguish between Great Britain and Northern Ireland |
ipipgo's pool of proxies includes German IPs covering 16 major cities from Berlin to Munich, and UK IPs accurate to London, Manchester and other large areas. Newbies are advised to start withDynamic Residential IPTo get started, the system will automatically match the appropriate exit node.
Setting up an encrypted proxy channel in three steps
The actual operation is much simpler than expected:
1. Create an HTTPS tunnel in the ipipgo backend, selecting either the German or UK node set
2. fill the generated authentication key into the crawler script or tool configuration
3. Set the frequency of automatic IP switching (it is recommended to keep important tasks for more than 5 minutes)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does the Internet speed slow down after using a proxy?
A: Pay attention to the delay parameters when choosing nodes. ipipgo background can see real-time speed measurement data. Avoiding the peak hours of 8-11 p.m. European family Internet access, the speed can be increased by more than 40%.
Q: What should I do if my IP is blocked?
A: Immediately switch to "Strict Rotation Mode", ipipgo's 90 million + residential IP pool will automatically filter flagged addresses. Suggested important tasks to matchsession hold function, use a fixed IP for a single task and change it automatically for multiple tasks.
Q: What if I need to deal with image captchas?
A: In this case, it is recommended to change to a static residential IP. ipipgo's UK Platinum Package provides a fixed address for up to 72 hours. Together with the browser fingerprint camouflage function, it can effectively reduce the CAPTCHA trigger rate.
