With the continuous development of the digital age, people are increasingly relying on the Internet in their daily lives, and proxy IP plays a vital role in this, not only providing users with privacy protection and data collection convenience, but also contributing to the free flow of information and the development of the global Internet. However, many people still know nothing about proxy IP or are confused about it. Today, let's learn about the relevant knowledge of proxy IP.
1. First, let’s take a look at what a proxy IP is.
Proxy IP is a network technology that allows users to send and receive network requests through an intermediate server (i.e., a proxy server). When using a proxy IP, the user's real HTTP address will be hidden and replaced by the HTTP address of the proxy server, making it difficult to identify on the Internet. In this process, the proxy IP acts as a transit station in the network communication process.
2. Types of Proxy IP
In many popular science articles, we will see: "transparent proxy", "high-anonymous proxy"; and then we will see another article about "HTTP proxy", "SOCKS proxy"…Are you confused immediately?
It doesn’t matter, follow Kookeey to sort it out one by one today.
2.1 According to the degree of concealment, it can be divided into:
High Anonymous Proxy (that is, the HTTP proxy product provided by Kookeey), Obfuscated Proxy, Normal Proxy, Transparent Proxy
2.2 According to the transmission protocol, it can be divided into:
HTTP(s) proxy and SOCKS proxy. Among them, SOCKS proxy supports multiple network protocols, which is more flexible and has a wider range of uses. For example, the HTTP proxy product provided by kookeey supports all three protocols and can perfectly adapt to various business scenarios.
2.3 Business usage scenarios can be divided into:
Dynamic HTTP proxy, static HTTP proxy and tunnel proxy.
The dynamic shared proxy provided by Kookeey strictly controls the upper limit of the number of people who can share the dynamic proxy IP, with a maximum of 5 people using it. Under the premise of ensuring the success rate of the business, it helps customers reduce the cost of use; it supports on-time and on-volume purchase modes, and is suitable for application scenarios with large IP demand and low bandwidth requirements.
Static exclusive proxy uses the operator's first-hand pure IP resources, the IP is fixed, the IP and bandwidth are exclusive and the service is pure, and it can be replaced independently and at a low frequency as needed. It is suitable for application scenarios that require service anti-association or long-term fixed IP.
Tunnel Proxy is a dynamic IP proxy server built with high-performance hosts. It takes 0 seconds to develop, does not require any API connection, and developers do not need to manage IP pools, which reduces development difficulty and cost. Putting the scheduled IP change operation on the cloud greatly simplifies the usage steps. It is suitable for application scenarios that require simple calls or automatic IP switching.
2.4 According to the sharing method, it can be divided into:
Exclusive proxies and shared proxies.
We need to note that because exclusive proxies are only provided for a single user, HTTP proxies will be purer, so the cost will be relatively high. Shared proxies are shared by multiple users and the cost is evenly distributed, so the cost to a single user is relatively low.
In general, different types of proxy IPs play their own advantages in different situations. When choosing a proxy IP, we should make a comprehensive selection based on our actual needs, usage and budget.
3. The role of proxy IP
At present, proxy IP affects us in many aspects, and its application scope is becoming wider and wider, but the mainstream applications are nothing more than the following aspects:
3.1 Protecting Privacy
Due to the anonymous nature of proxy IP, you can surf the Internet anonymously, so many users also use proxy IP to surf the Internet anonymously to protect the privacy and security of users.
3.2 High-frequency data acquisition
When it comes to data collection and analysis, proxy IP plays an important role. It can circumvent anti-crawler mechanisms and crawl data from target websites at a high frequency, high efficiency and high stability, thereby providing strong data support for the company's business development.
3.3 Brand Protection
In the era of rapid development of the Internet, the awareness of originality is getting stronger and stronger. At this time, original music, books, fonts, etc. are like finding a needle in a haystack in the vast amount of Internet information, and Kookeey's proxy IP can be a magnet, using data collection to accurately protect original property rights in the vast amount of data.
3.4 Market Analysis
Many companies use the positioning feature of proxy IP to assist companies in market analysis. By using proxy IP to locate the target market, collect the behavior habits of target users in the area, and customize more accurate market positioning and upgrade products.
3.5 Others
Proxy IP is also used in many aspects: game acceleration, e-commerce positioning, public opinion capture, competitor marketing strategies, advertising effectiveness, etc., which will not be discussed in detail here.
