The general definition of proxy IP, first give a screenshot of Baidu
Notice:
You can get a proxy IP from the proxy server
But the proxy server is not equal to the proxy IP
The definition may seem confusing, but you can simply think of a proxy IP as a middleman that helps you access the Internet.
The service provided by this middleman is to allow you to access the Internet through their IP address
It is not the IP address of your local computer that is currently viewing this article.
Proxy IP has many characteristics, which makes it useful for different Internet access needs and scenarios:
- Using certain proxy IPs to access the Internet can reduce your network latency (also called acceleration)
Each proxy server has a cache area, which operates normally even when you are not using them to access the Internet. This can be simply understood as the video caching mechanism of "TikTok", that is, before you slide down the next video content, TikTok's proxy server will cache the content for you, so that your video viewing experience will be very good, and you don't need to refresh and load each video one by one, which is smoother.
2. The proxy IP server can be freely configured and self-built firewall
When we use our own IP to access the Internet, the restrictions mainly come from your IP operator. However, when you access the Internet through a proxy IP, you can add IP whitelists, set access permissions, and other operations to keep the Internet environment in a relatively safe and controllable range.
3. Hide your real IP address to protect your personal information
Have you ever received a lot of advertising messages and spam for no apparent reason?
Why do advertisements still appear as expected even though I have not provided any personal information to advertisers?
This is because when you use your own IP to access the Internet, various rogue websites or software will automatically record your IP information and associate this information with other big data, and then gain insight into your possible needs and push advertisements to you.
If you use a proxy IP, your personal IP information will be hidden to avoid spam ads.
This is also the most common use
4. Break through the access restrictions of certain websites
When we use our own IP to visit certain specific websites, we often see a prompt that the website has denied you access. This is because your current IP has been blocked (blacklisted) by the website. Many websites will use the IP address of requests to access their servers as a very important detection standard. At this time, you can continue to access through the proxy IP to lift the access restrictions.
The above 4 points are just the role of proxy IP under normal circumstances
In practical applications, the role of proxy IP will be more extensive
For example, crawling data, voting, online marketing, etc.
