Now more and more users are using proxy IPs. We all know that proxy IPs actually achieve secret access to websites by hiding their own IPs. According to the length of time, proxy IPs can be divided into long-term proxy IPs and short-term proxy IPs.
The following will introduce the differences between the two methods.
1. What are long-term IP and short-term IP?
1. Long-term proxy IP
As the name suggests, a long-term proxy IP is an IP address with a relatively long survival time. The usage time of the proxy IP can be freely controlled, which is flexible and can be used for a long time. It can be switched at least once every 1-2 hours. It is suitable for business scenarios with low IP usage frequency and long validity period.
2. Short-term proxy IP
Short-term proxy IPs generally refer to proxy IPs with a lifespan of 1-2 minutes, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc. Of course, different time periods have different pricing, and the longer the time, the higher the price. Short-term proxy IPs are suitable for business scenarios with high frequency of use, a large number of proxy IPs, but short lifespans.
The difference between the two
Short-term proxy IP:
The survival time of short-term proxy IP is very short. The survival time of different agents is different, usually no more than 30 minutes. Generally, the business of crawling network data will use short-term proxy IP, and the IP survival time is usually 3-5 minutes. Common applications include: registering an account, browsing the web, posting on forums, online marketing, online shopping orders, etc. Due to its short-term proxy characteristics, short-term IP is definitely not as stable as long-term IP.
Long-term proxy IP:
Long-term proxy IP is a long-term effective static server, which can provide users with long-term stable use and can be reused in a short time. Long-term IP is generally used to capture the data of certain information for a long time, provide the function of monitoring the network and recording the transmission information, and the proxy server can isolate the external network and the internal network, ensure the security of the local area network, and play the role of a firewall. The security and stability are excellent.
What are the application scenarios of long-term IP and short-term IP respectively?
Short-term IP can complete tasks such as data collection, web page access, online promotion, and voting assistance. These services require IP switching in different regions of the country. Of course, they also include the recently popular e-sports live broadcasts and e-commerce shopping, which can be used to increase popularity or assist store operations.
Some businesses with complicated processes require the use of long-term IPs, such as online shopping orders and new media operations, which all require IP addresses for a longer period of time.
No matter what business is applied, the help of overseas HTT agents is needed, so it is particularly important to find an overseas HTTP agent that suits you. Let's take a look at what you should pay attention to when choosing an overseas HTTP agent?
1. Security
The security of the proxy IP is particularly important because all user data will be exchanged through the proxy server. Only by using a sufficiently secure proxy can we ensure that user information is not leaked and no additional losses are caused.
2. Stability
Once the proxy IP is not stable, users will often encounter problems such as timeouts in requesting to access the website, IP invalidation, etc., so when choosing a SOCKS5 proxy, you must pay attention to the stability of the proxy service.
