Why does the data collection with dynamic IP always disconnect? How to solve it?

Dynamic IP can be said to be an essential proxy tool for crawling, collecting data, and collecting information on popular products. However, in the use of crawlers, dynamic IPs are always disconnected, which affects the efficiency of use. This article will discuss several common reasons for dynamic IP proxy disconnections and provide solutions to help everyone make better use of dynamic IP services.

1. Unstable network connection

Unstable network connection is one of the most common reasons for dynamic IP proxy disconnection. When the network connection fluctuates or disconnects, the dynamic IP proxy will not work properly, resulting in disconnection.

Solution:

• Make sure your network connection is stable: Try to use a stable network connection and avoid connecting to a network with poor or unstable signals.
• Change network environment: Try connecting to a different network environment, such as switching to another Wi-Fi network or using a mobile data network.

2. IP address is blocked

Some websites will adopt various anti-crawler strategies, such as verification code verification, IP blocking, user behavior analysis, etc., to prevent crawlers from illegally obtaining their data. In the face of these strategies, crawlers using dynamic IPs are more likely to be detected and blocked by websites. In addition, if the proxy IP is not clean enough, it is easy to be disconnected and have access restricted.

Solution:

• Use high-quality proxy services: Choose a reputable, stable and reliable proxy service provider, avoid using low-quality or free proxy services, and reduce the risk of IP being blocked.
• Avoid frequent changes of IP addresses: Try to reduce the frequent changes of IP addresses to reduce the possibility of being banned.
• Simulate real user behaviors, such as simulating mouse clicks, randomly browsing pages, User-Agent, etc., to reduce the possibility of IP being banned.

4. Proxy software or configuration issues

Sometimes the dynamic IP proxy disconnection may be caused by proxy software or configuration problems. For example, the proxy software may have vulnerabilities or compatibility issues, and configuration errors may also cause the proxy to not work properly.

Solution:

• Update agent software: Make sure to use the latest version of agent software and install update patches in a timely manner to fix possible vulnerabilities.
• Check proxy configuration: Carefully check the proxy configuration to ensure that it is set up correctly, the correct network environment is established, and make adjustments or changes as needed.

5. Server load is too high

When the proxy server is overloaded, it may cause the dynamic IP proxy to be offline. The server load may be too high due to too many concurrent requests, or it may be due to insufficient server performance or improper configuration.

Solution:

• Use a stable proxy service: Choose a proxy service provider with good server performance and stable load, and avoid using a proxy server with excessive load.
• Avoid peak hours: Try to avoid peak hours when the proxy server is highly loaded, and use proxy services during low-load hours to reduce the possibility of disconnection.
• Reasonably set the number of concurrent connections: Although the service provider provides unlimited concurrent connections, the more concurrent connections are not necessarily better. Too many concurrent IP connections will cause excessive server load, resulting in disconnection.
