How to utilize proxy IP in the emulator process?

In the fields of digital marketing, data capture, software testing, etc., it is a common practice to use simulators to run multiple Android or iOS system instances. Configuring proxy IP in these simulators can achieve multi-tasking parallel processing while hiding the real IP address and enhancing privacy protection. This article will introduce in detail how to use 98IP proxy IP in the simulator process, ensuring that each step is detailed and easy to understand, helping you to configure and use it efficiently.

I. Preparation

1.1 Choose a suitable simulator

• ​Android simulator​: Such as BlueStacks, NoxPlayer, MuMu simulator, etc., choose a simulator with stable performance, support for multiple openings and easy configuration.
• ​iOS simulator​: For iOS development, the simulator built into Xcode is a good choice, but please note that the iOS system has strict settings for proxies and may require additional jailbreaks or enterprise certificates.
  
  

1.2 Get a 98IP proxy account

• Visit the 98IP official website, register and log in, and get the API key and proxy IP pool information.
• Make sure your proxy package supports the number of simulators and concurrent requests you plan to use.

1.3 Install necessary software

• ​Proxy management tools​: such as ProxyCap, CCProxy, etc., used to redirect the simulator's network traffic to the proxy server.
• ​Network debugging tools​ (optional): such as Wireshark, used to monitor and debug network traffic and ensure that the proxy is configured correctly.

II. Configure simulator proxy settings

2.1 Android simulator configuration

2.1.1 Set Wi-Fi proxy

• Open "Settings" -> "Network and Internet" -> "Wi-Fi" in the simulator.
• Long press the currently connected Wi-Fi network and select "Modify network configuration".
• In "Advanced options", find the "Proxy" setting and select "Manual".
• Enter the proxy server address and port number provided by 98IP and save the settings.
  
  

2.1.2 Using proxy management tools

• Install and open proxy management tools such as ProxyCap.
• Add a new proxy rule to specify that the network traffic of the simulator process is forwarded through the 98IP proxy server.
• Configure the rule according to the simulator's network adapter name (which can be viewed in the network type under "Settings" -> "About Phone" -> "Status" -> "IP Address").
  
  

2.2 iOS Simulator Configuration (Jailbreak or Enterprise Certificate Required)

• Due to the closed nature of the iOS system, it is difficult to configure the proxy directly in the simulator. Usually, you need to manually configure the proxy on a jailbroken device or in a specific application installed with an enterprise certificate, or through a VPN.
• If using a VPN, make sure that the VPN service supports a custom proxy server and enter the IP and port provided by 98IP.
  
  
  
  

III. Verification and testing

3.1 Check whether the proxy is effective

• Open the browser in the simulator, visit the IP query website, and confirm that the displayed IP address is consistent with the proxy IP provided by 98IP.
• If it is inconsistent, return to check whether the Wi-Fi proxy settings or the configuration of the proxy management tool are correct.

3.2 Stability and speed test

• Use the network speed test tool to test the speed of the proxy connection to ensure that the proxy does not significantly affect your network experience.
• Perform a long-term access test to observe the stability of the proxy connection and record any possible disconnection or speed fluctuations.
  
  
  
  

IV. Precautions and optimization

4.1 Update the proxy IP regularly

• Visit the 98IP official website regularly to obtain the latest proxy IP list and avoid using banned IPs.
• Use the API interface to automatically obtain and update the proxy IP to improve management efficiency.
  
  

4.2 Privacy and Security

• Ensure that the proxy service provides reliable privacy protection measures to avoid personal information leakage.
• Use strong passwords and encrypted communication methods to protect your proxy account and data transmission.
  
  

4.3 Performance Optimization

• Adjust the proxy switching frequency according to actual needs to avoid too frequent switching affecting network performance.
• For high concurrency requirements, consider using proxy pool software or distributed proxy networks to improve the stability and availability of proxies.
  
  
  
  

V. Summary

Using 98IP proxy IP in the simulator process can provide a flexible and efficient solution for your digital marketing, data crawling and other tasks. Through the guide in this article, you have mastered the basic steps of how to configure proxies in Android and iOS simulators. Remember to regularly maintain and optimize your proxy settings to adapt to the ever-changing network environment. I wish you all the best in your simulator operation!
