The rapid development of the Internet has made proxy IPs integrated into our daily lives. Whether for individual users or corporate users, proxy IPs have a variety of uses. Next, let's take a detailed look at the main uses of proxy IPs:
1. Improve online privacy
The Internet is becoming more and more chaotic while developing rapidly. Nowadays, people's privacy information is becoming less and less "private", so many users choose to use proxy IPs to improve their security and privacy. The IP address is like the house number of the user in the Internet world. It is very easy to be found, and the use of proxy IPs can hide the "house number" to ensure safety.
2. Access restricted content
Many websites will detect the IP addresses of visiting users and directly deny access to IPs from specific areas. Through proxy IPs, users can disguise their own addresses as IPs in the area allowed to be accessed by the website, thereby achieving access to restricted content.
3. Web crawler crawling
Using web crawlers to crawl data is the current mainstream data acquisition method, but if crawlers are used directly to crawl data, the crawlers will soon be blocked by the target site server. This is because most websites currently have anti-crawling measures to prevent crawlers from crawling and causing website overload or even crash. If users use crawler proxy IPs, they can disguise every visit of the crawler, thereby bypassing the website's anti-crawling measures and achieving efficient crawling.
4. Market research
Using proxy IPs, users can anonymously obtain data such as market environment and competitive product information without worrying about being discovered, thereby optimizing and upgrading their own products and services.
5. Multi-account management
Nowadays, many social platforms, e-commerce platforms, etc. have strict requirements for user IPs. If multiple accounts are run from the same IP, they will be identified and certain penalties will be taken. Through proxy IPs, users can configure a separate IP address for each account, thereby achieving multi-account anti-association and allowing multiple accounts to operate and develop simultaneously.
It has provided services to many well-known Internet companies, helping to improve the crawling efficiency of crawlers, supporting batch use of APIs, and supporting multi-threaded high concurrency.
