Is IP proxy safe? How to prevent IP from being restricted?

Have you ever been able to access the Internet normally, but was blocked from visiting a certain website? Have you ever registered an account on a website, but was blocked? That's because of an IP problem! Your IP address reveals a lot about you, including your location and Internet activity.

In this article, we’ll learn about IP addresses, how websites use them to track you, and how using an IP proxy can help you better advance your business.

What is an IP address?
IP address is short for Internet Protocol address, which is a numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol to communicate.

There are two types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6.

IPv4 addresses consist of four numbers separated by dots, each ranging from 0 to 255, so there can be a total of about 4.3 billion unique IP addresses. However, with the explosive growth of the Internet, IPv4 addresses are becoming increasingly rare.

An IPv6 address is made up of eight groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons, so there can be a total of about 340 billion unique IP addresses, which should be enough to cope with the rapid growth of the Internet in the coming years.

Devices use IP addresses to communicate with each other on the Internet, and protocols such as TCP/IP and HTTP also use IP addresses to transmit data packets between devices. If a device wants to access the Internet, it must have a unique IP address.

How do websites identify your IP?
There are several ways a website can identify your IP address. When you connect to the Internet, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns you an IP address that identifies your device and location on the Internet.

When you visit a website, your device sends a piece of information containing your IP address to the website's computers. This address allows the website to deduce your location and other details about your device and the internet.

Websites can also track your behavior on the website by using tools like cookies or browser fingerprinting to collect information about your device and create a unique identifier that can be used to track you.

How to ensure IP security and avoid being blacklisted?
Implement DNS leak protection: Ensure your DNS requests are not leaked by implementing DNS leak protection.
Disable WebRTC: WebRTC can leak your IP address, so make sure your website has it disabled by default.
Use Tor: Use the Tor network to anonymize your internet traffic.
Use fingerprint browser: Create a virtual secure environment by using fingerprint browser, and configure IP proxy, set cookies and other tools for each environment to prevent IP leakage.
Use an IP proxy
What is the use of IP proxy?
Proxy IP is a network proxy service used to hide the real IP address. It allows users to access network resources through an intermediate server when accessing the Internet, thereby hiding their real IP address. For example, Kookeey Pure Proxy provides dynamic and static IP proxies, which are high-quality, pure, and exclusive, helping users upgrade their business.

Usually the proxy IP can have the following functions:

1. Privacy and security: hide the user's real IP address, protect the user's privacy, and prevent personal information from being leaked;

2. Virus prevention: Provides a certain degree of security protection to prevent users' computers from being hacked or infected with viruses and other malicious software;

3. Avoid restrictions: You can bypass geographic location restrictions, blacklist blocks, and access blocked websites and social platform services;

4. Data collection: Apply data collection and web crawlers to help efficiently collect and analyze network data;

5. Marketing and promotion: used for online marketing and promotion activities to help users place advertisements and promote in different regions.

The main way to use IP proxy in cross-border e-commerce is to use it with a fingerprint browser. Kookeey can be easily integrated with all mainstream fingerprint browsers on the market, easily facilitating the smooth advancement of cross-border business.
