The vast world of the Internet allows us to swim online and at the same time we need to be vigilant at all times. As a pursuing netizen, of course, we hope to build a domestic residential IP address to enjoy the essence of global network resources. So, let me explain how to build a domestic residential IP address in an easy-to-understand tone!

I. vs. proxy servers, which one do you choose?

Before we begin, we need to understand two common tools: and proxy servers. I believe that you are not unfamiliar with these two words, they can achieve the effect of changing the IP address, but in the specific process of building and the use of slightly different.

1. : The full name is Virtual Private Network (VPN), which creates an encrypted tunnel for users to forward and hide their network traffic through an external server, thus disguising the IP address. As long as you can connect to a domestic server, you can enjoy the freedom of the Internet in the country where the server is located.

2. Proxy server: As the name suggests, a proxy server is a server that provides proxy services for users, accessing the target website through a proxy server when the user sends a network request, and realizing the disguise of the IP address. However, unlike creating a virtual network connection for the user, a proxy server only acts as an intermediary to pass network information.

Second, commercial or free, which is better for you?

Now that you understand the basic concepts, the next question is: commercial or free?

1. Commercial: There are numerous commercialized service providers on the market today, and they usually offer a wider selection of servers, higher bandwidth, and more stable connection speeds. Although you need to pay for it, it is undoubtedly one of the most reliable ways to choose to build a domestic residential IP address.

2. Free: Many people pursue the mentality of free resources and naturally hope to find free services. However, it is worth noting that free often face problems such as slow speed, low quality of service, poor data security, and even some free are accused of selling user data. Therefore, you must think twice before choosing free to ensure your own network security.

III. How to build

I will take the more popular business service provider Express as an example to take you step by step to build.

1. First of all, you need to go to the official Express website and register for an account. Please note that there is generally a fee and you will need to choose a suitable package.

2. After successful registration, login to your account and select the client version applicable to your device to download. Generally, Windows, Mac, iOS and Android will have the appropriate client for you to choose from. This ensures that you will be able to use it on different devices.

3. After the client is downloaded and installed, open it and enter the account information you filled in during the previous registration to log in.

4. After you have successfully logged in, select a server you want to connect to and connect to it.

Tip: To protect your privacy as much as possible, it is recommended to choose a service provider that does not keep logs. This way, even if someone tracks your online activity, it cannot be traced back to your real IP address.

IV. Construction and use of proxy servers

In addition, proxy servers are also an effective way to change IP addresses. Here is a brief introduction to the construction and use of proxy servers.

1. If you have a server or VPS (Virtual Private Server) located in China, then setting up a proxy server will be twice as easy. You just need to ask the server provider for the specific operation of setting up a proxy, and then the IP address of the server to realize the disguise.

2. If you don't have your own server, you can also choose to buy a third-party proxy server service. Services like ipipgo and GoAgent are very popular in China, they provide stable and reliable proxy services, but require you to make some basic settings.

3. When setting up a proxy server, you need to disguise the IP address of the server by filling in the IP address and port number of the server into the browser or system you are using. In this way, when you visit a foreign website, the server will proxy the web request for you so that your real IP address is hidden and protected.

V. Summary

To summarize, building a domestic residential IP address is not a difficult task as long as you have the right methods and tools. Whether it's or a proxy server, they can provide us with a smoother and freer internet experience. But no matter which way you choose, make sure you choose a reliable and secure service provider, and develop a good sense of network security to protect your privacy. I hope this article can inspire you, and may you be able to swim freely in the wide world of the Internet!
