With the rapid development of the Internet industry, cross-border e-commerce, TikTok's overseas expansion and other industries, the demand for overseas networks in the industry is increasing. We often hear several terms, VPN, node or proxy IP, etc. Everyone wants to buy affordable tools that suit them. How should they choose?
Before making a choice, we should understand the difference between these words.
VPN and proxy are two ways to access the Internet. Both of them achieve anonymity, privacy, security and eliminate geographical restrictions by relaying your network requests (directly or encrypted) between the request and the access terminal, hiding your real IP address and accessing the target network address with its own IP address.
1. Proxy Internet access <br>Proxy Internet access requires the use of specific tools such as early Shadowsocks, V2Ray, Trojan, Xray, etc. Airports refer to merchants who sell network nodes, and nodes refer to these proxy servers. An airport usually has servers in different countries. Proxy Internet access can disguise normal Internet traffic very well.
Advantages: cheap, easy node expansion, high security and stability
Disadvantages: It is relatively troublesome to use. You need to build your own server or purchase an airport and then subscribe.
2. VPN
The entire process is a virtual private network, which uses tunnel protocols to achieve functions such as sender authentication, message confidentiality and accuracy. It should be noted that the original purpose of VPN was not to access the Internet, but to serve as a network communication method between enterprises. Therefore, compared with the proxy Internet access method, the security of VPN is relatively low and it is easy to be blocked by some strict websites.
Advantages: Easy to use. Due to different principles, VPN can realize a truly global proxy, which can take over almost all traffic forwarding on your computer.
Disadvantages: expensive, unsafe and easily blocked, and it is easy to run away if you buy a VPN from a small company
3. Overseas IP
Overseas IP does not provide a way to access the Internet. Most of the overseas IPs in China cannot be used directly. It is a service terminal address and can also provide a virtual address to achieve the purpose of jump access. As mentioned above, some security or multi-address-required services will require the use of overseas IPs.
For example, if you operate overseas media such as FacebookInstagram, you can open them directly using a VPN. It is usually no problem to just browse the information, but if you want to register a new account, usually multiple accounts on the same IP are frequently switched, which will be recognized by the system. Therefore, the overseas IP can provide a stable and effective network address to securely shield information and break through the restrictions of the website.
