Why does social media marketing need residential IP?
The biggest headache of doing social media operation is the account association problem. The platform will determine whether the accounts belong to the same person through data such as device fingerprints, IP addresses, and operating habits. Especially when you log in to multiple accounts on the same computer, if you use an ordinary data center IP, it is easy to be recognized as a machine operation.
at this timeAdvantages of Residential IPIt comes to the fore. Such IPs come from real home networks, and behind each IP corresponds to the broadband device of an ordinary user. For example, the residential IP provided by ipipgo covers more than 90 million home networks around the world, and each request looks like a real user operating in a different region, which directly reduces the probability of the platform's determination of account association.
Three key preparations before anti-correlation configuration
Before you configure the agent specifically, do these three things:
1. Account group management
Dividing account groups according to the target user's region, for example, North America group uses US IP, Europe group uses German IP. it is recommended to have no more than 5 accounts in each group to avoid too much concentration of traffic characteristics.
2. Browser environment isolation
Each account uses a separate browser profile, and it is recommended to install a multi-opening tool to manage cookies and cache. Also disable WebRTC and other functions that may leak the real address.
3. IP quality screening
Test the purity of the proxy IP in advance. Test the purity of the proxy IP in advance by using the ipipgo backend of theIP Detection Tool, you can view core metrics such as IP type (residential/data center), blacklist status, historical usage history, and more.
HTTP proxy configuration step by step
Take Chrome as an example to demonstrate the exact operation:
move | Operating Instructions |
---|---|
1. Obtaining proxy information | Log in to ipipgo backend, select the HTTP proxy for the target region, get the IP:port and authentication account password |
2. Installation of proxy plug-ins | SwitchyOmega is recommended, search for it in the extension store and install it! |
3. Configuring proxy rules | Create a new scenario, fill in the proxy server address and port, select the HTTP authentication method and enter the account password. |
4. Setting up automatic switching | Configure rules in the "Auto Switching" tab, it is recommended to set the IP to change every 30 minutes. |
Key Note: If using a dynamic residential IP, it is recommended to enable it in the ipipgo backendautomatic rotation functionThe system automatically changes the IP address according to the set interval, which is more stable than manual switching.
Three Tips for Maintaining Account Security
Tip 1: IP Behavior Simulation
The time of use of each IP should be in line with normal people's work and rest, to avoid centralized operation in the middle of the night. It is recommended to set the proxy to automatically disconnect at specific times to simulate the online regularity of real users.
Tip 2: Traffic Load Balancing
When it comes to managing a large number of accounts, don't concentrate all your traffic in the same IP segment. By using ipipgo'sRegion + Carrier Filteringfeature that allows you to mix IP addresses from different broadband carriers.
Tip 3: Anomaly monitoring and warning
Enable API monitoring in ipipgo background, when the IP has abnormal login, high frequency request, etc., the system will remind you in real time via email/SMS to replace the problematic IP in time.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: How many IPs are needed to run 10 accounts at the same time?
It is recommended to adopt a ratio of 1:3, that is, each account is prepared to rotate 3 IP, so that even if a certain IP is restricted, you can immediately switch to the alternate IP does not affect the operation.
Q: What should I do if I encounter a platform that requires cell phone verification?
In this case, it is recommended to use a static residential IP. ipipgo supports up to 30 days of IP rental. Static IP with long-term stable login behavior can effectively reduce the secondary verification trigger rate.
Q: How do I test if the proxy is working?
Visit the ipipgo offeringsIP Detection PageIf the IP address is the same as the proxy setting area, check whether the WebRTC leaks the real address.
