Proxy IP, also known as network proxy, is a special network service that allows a network terminal (usually a client) to connect to another network terminal (usually a server) through the service. Some gateways.


Routers and other network devices have network proxy functions. It is generally believed that proxy services help protect the privacy or security of network terminals and prevent attacks. Today, we will explain in detail what problems proxy IP can help us solve.


1. Access some websites that are inaccessible to your own network and break through your own IP access restrictions.

Although the network provides us with a variety of conveniences, there are also many restrictions. For example, if you frequently capture python crawlers, access will be restricted, and there are restrictions on the same account registration, as well as more game openings. However, when we use a proxy IP, of course, it is a highly hidden proxy IP, which will not be a problem. We only need to switch IP access and use IP in different regions so as not to trigger the IP restriction mechanism.


2. Protection of privacy information.

When we are active on the Internet, we will leave various traces. For example, on Taobao, Taobao will judge our preferences based on our activity traces, so that we can push a variety of goods to us. I believe everyone has such an experience. If we use a proxy IP, the proxy IP replaces our real IP information, so we cannot judge our real browsing track, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting privacy.

Of course, not only that, we can also encrypt and forward network data multiple times through the proxy IP to ensure the security of network data and make the Internet more stable and secure.


3. Can be used as a firewall.

The proxy server can protect the security of the LAN, act as a firewall, isolate the internal and external networks, provide monitoring network and information recording functions, strengthen the security of the LAN, facilitate hierarchical management of users, and set different access rights.


4. Improve access speed.

Internally, the proxy server usually sets a large hard disk buffer. When external information passes through, it will also be saved in the buffer. When other users access the same information again, the information will be taken directly from the buffer area and transmitted to the user to increase the access speed.

Externally, it is a problem of access speed. The network will have different areas and signal strengths, resulting in unstable transmission speed. Delay packet loss problem. At this time, through IP nodes distributed in different regions, the proxy IP is replaced from the high-speed proxy channel for data transmission to achieve network stability and fluency.


When choosing a proxy IP, many people will prefer a free proxy IP due to the small usage, but using a free IP is likely to lead to private information leakage. For businesses, if they lose customer data, they will seriously damage the company's reputation. Paid IPs will work more efficiently.
