In recent years, with the continuous development and growth of the Internet, the demand for proxy IP addresses has also increased. There are also many paid and free proxy IP addresses on the market. Can these free proxy IP addresses be used? To put it simply, it is a free proxy IP address. The advantage is that it does not cost money and can be used arbitrarily at any time. Of course, there are still many shortcomings.
1: The usability rate is very low. Free IPs usually come from third-party platforms. There are very few valid proxy IP addresses. In addition, due to certain processes such as transfer or sharing, the usability rate of the obtained IP proxy is even lower. Usually the usability rate may be between 5%-30%.
2: Slow response time: The response time is very slow. The open agent IP address can be used by everyone, and the speed cannot be guaranteed.
3: Low security comes from third-party platforms, which may be available in various channels. No one can guarantee whether there are unreasonable areas. In addition, a large number of people have used it and may have been marked, which can easily expose their real IP address, so there is no security guarantee.
Security issues cannot be guaranteed, the utilization rate is still very low, and the IP address must be tested before use to be efficient. After reading the above, everyone should understand the risks and use high-quality dynamic IP proxies, which can save time and improve work progress.
4: There are a lot of advertisements. Of course, free apps also need to make money, that is, to collect profits through advertisements. When users are browsing, the pages are full of advertisements, which greatly reduces the user experience.
5: IP resources are scarce and of poor quality. For cross-border e-commerce operators, the demand for effective IPs is very large. Free IP proxy resources are very limited, and the efficiency is as low as 1%-40%. Even if free proxies can extract millions of IPs a day, the qualified IPs are far from meeting the needs of enterprise-level users.
6: The IP duplication rate is extremely high. In order to attract users, free IP proxies claim that they can extract thousands of IP addresses at once. Although the number of IP addresses extracted is quite large, only a few of them can be actually used, and most of them are duplicated and invalid.
Next, let’s talk about the advantages of paid overseas IPs.
- Preventing attacks
Hide your real address information and IP address to prevent hacker attacks.
- Breaking through limitations
Proxy servers can also break through network restrictions. For example, LAN restrictions on Internet users' ports, destination websites, protocols, games, instant messaging software, etc. can break through these restrictions. (Some companies prohibit employees from playing games or visiting certain websites. In this case, you can try proxy servers.
- Hiding your identity
Proxy server knowledge is a basic skill for hackers. Many hacker activities are done through proxy servers, such as scanning, spying, and infiltrating machines in the local area network. Hackers usually attack through many levels of springboards before attacking the target machine. This hides their identities and ensures their own safety.
- Increase speed
Increase download speed and break through download limits.
There are some other functions. If you are interested, you can search for them yourself.
Can you share the IP I have been using (no bad guidance, just for reference)
Kookeey is the one I have been using and is relatively stable. I hope it can help you.
