# Transitioning to HTTP/3: Fundamentals and Advantages

Today, the internet has become an integral part of life. We constantly read news on Telegram, watch videos on YouTube, and communicate with friends on Discord. But the more information we transmit, the heavier the load on networks becomes.

The one responsible for transmitting various content on the Internet is the HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) protocol, which has been diligently performing its duties since 1991 and gradually improving. And now, after decades, we have reached a new version - HTTP/3.

HTTP/3 is a next-generation protocol that is gradually replacing its predecessors. It's not yet fully polished, but currently, a huge number of <a href="https://caniuse.com/http3" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">browsers</a> and almost 30% of all <a href="https://w3techs.com/technologies/details/ce-http3" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">websites</a> are already using it.

Using HTTP/3 helps load web pages faster, which is especially important for <a href="https://iproxy.online/web-scraping" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">scraping</a>. Rumor has it, that connecting through via HTTP/3 helps avoid account blocking when working with multiple profiles on <a href="https://iproxy.online/social-networks" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">social networks</a> or launching <a href="https://iproxy.online/ad-tech" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">advertising campaigns</a> (it's important to understand that this is just an assumption, not official information).

So what is HTTP/3, how does it differ from previous versions, and what are the pros and cons?

## Key features of HTTP/3

**1. Protocol based on <a href="https://quicwg.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">QUIC</a>**

Previous versions used transport layer protocols UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), each with its own advantages and disadvantages. 

**TCP** ensures reliable data delivery and guarantees the correct order of files without loss or duplication, but it requires establishing a connection or confirming data delivery, which affects the protocol's speed. Meanwhile, the transport protocol **UDP** has a higher data transmission speed but is less reliable than TCP since packet loss is possible.
 
![http3_meme.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/http3_meme_cd1ccddee0.png)

To address these issues, Google developed the transport protocol **QUIC** (Quick UDP Internet Connections), which takes the best from both worlds, while eliminating their drawbacks:

- **Fast Connection.** QUIC allows establishing communication between the client and server almost instantly, which is crucial for applications requiring high speed.
- **Multiplexing.** Enables simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams within a single connection, contributing to faster loading of web pages in browsers.
- **Encryption.** Applied by default, allowing secure data transmission even in insecure networks.
- **Congestion Control.** Includes flow control algorithms that help manage data transmission speed, ensuring stable file transmission and preventing network congestion.
- **Mobile Devices.** Consume fewer resources for data transmission and enhance application performance through rapid connection establishment and efficient resource management.
- **Open Source.** QUIC is open-source, and any developer can utilize it.
- **Extensions.** Open for additional features later on.

**2. Multiplexing**

In previous versions of HTTP, the loss of a single packet could lead to head-of-line blocking, resulting in the blocking of the entire remaining stream. However, HTTP/3 does not limit the number of concurrently open streams, and the bloking of one does not affect others. The main benefits of multiplexing are:

- **Improved Performance.** Significantly reduces webpage loading times and decreases latency during data transmission.
- **Resource Efficiency.** Reduces the use of network resources for establishing and maintaining connections.
- **Reliability.** Parallel transmission of data streams makes web applications more resilient to failures and overloads.

**3. Security**

HTTP/3 always applies TLS 1.3 (Transport Layer Security version 1.3) - the latest version of the encryption and data protection protocol at the transport layer. This involves using a new mode of initial connection (TLS Handshake) with the Diffie-Hellman (DH) protocol, which provides additional security and protection against attacks. All sessions established using TLS 1.3 automatically provide Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), which helps protect previously encrypted traffic even if the key is compromised. The use of the Diffie-Hellman protocol reduces the set of ciphers, reducing the amount of transmitted data and the overhead of establishing a secure connection.

## Disadvantages of HTTP/3

While HTTP/3 brings significant improvements compared to previous versions, it also has its potential limitations and drawbacks:

- **Migration.** Transitioning to HTTP/3 may require network and server infrastructure updates, which can be a complex and costly process.
- **UDP Packet Blocking.** UDP is considered less secure, which is the main reason why many firewalls block it, which leads to difficulties in configuring firewalls to prevent blocking of HTTP/3 requests.
- **Limited Support.** Not all servers and clients support HTTP/3, which may restrict the protocol's availability. Compatibility issues with existing security measures and debugging tools may arise.
- **Increased Complexity.** HTTP/3 is a more advanced protocol compared to previous versions, which can complicate its implementation and debugging. Additionally, there is much less available information about it compared to HTTP/2.

## Conclusions and Perspectives: The Role of HTTP/3 in Future Web Development

HTTP/3 represents a significant advancement in the evolution of protocols. Not only it accelerates data transmission, making it more secure, but also opens up new possibilities for web developers. Major web services already support HTTP/3, and it is highly likely that the popularity and demand for this protocol will continue to grow.

With iProxy, you can easily and quickly create your own mobile proxies you can trust. These are private, reliable, and secure proxies with HTTP/3 support using oVPN configurations.

Why Do We Collect Logs and Don't Pretend Otherwise?

# Why Do We Collect Logs and Don't Pretend Otherwise?

Many users seeking complete anonymity online turn to anonymizers such as proxy services or VPNs. The idea of using services that claim not to collect user logs, thus ensuring full anonymity, often seems attractive.

In this article, we aim to understand whether users should fear log collection, whether to trust services that claim not to store logs and how this works in iProxy.

```
{
"iprx_cta":"cta1",
"subtitle":"Need private and fast mobile proxies?",
"text":"Make mobile proxies right now!",
"bt_label":"Start free 48-hour trial"
}
```

## What's Contained in Logs

First, let us clarify what information about users is stored in these logs.

Both your internet service provider (ISP) and proxy provider theoretically have access to all your internet traffic. However, **logs only refer to high-level information about your internet activity**, specifically: from which IP address and port, at what time, and to which internet site the visit occurred, as well as the volume of traffic sent there and back during the connection.

Detailed information, namely "what traffic was transmitted," is not logged. Moreover, accessing such sensitive data, like your messages, passwords, or other authorization data, would constitute criminal activity. Such practices are only undertaken by unscrupulous market players. Accessing traffic content, such as intercepting traffic in combination with HTTPS spoofing, is a direct violation of the law.

> Example: If you use iProxy to access YouTube to watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">something absolutely perfect</a>, the logs will reflect the following data: proxy data, IP connection to the proxy, date and time, fact of visiting YouTube, and the number of bytes transferred. The logs would NOT contain information about which specific video you watched.

## Why Services Collect Logs

So why do services keep user activity logs?

1️⃣ **Firstly, it allows them to monitor compliance with service rules** and prevent abuses that could harm servers. If services do not control activity and collect logs, users could freely violate rules without consequences.

2️⃣ **Secondly, it is about deflecting responsibility.** In case of issues with law enforcement agencies, services are interested in identifying the real culprit, rather than taking the blame themselves. This is because the service owners typically rent servers and are responsible for all actions performed from the IP addresses received by them.

It looks something like this: law enforcement agencies approach the service, and inform them that on a certain date, from a certain IP address belonging to this service's server, an unlawful act was committed. They usually need information about who was connected to the VPN server at that time and visited a particular resource.

If the service owner refuses to provide data, they will likely face serious problems from server seizures and website blocks to holding service owners accountable.

Law enforcement agencies can also approach the hosting provider renting out the server. Hosting providers also keep their logs and can provide information on request, although it may be less detailed.

Thus, all similar services have valid reasons for storing logs, so many do it, even if they claim otherwise on their websites.

## How does it work in iProxy? 

iProxy provides its clients with infrastructure for independently creating and configuring their own mobile proxy servers on Android devices. iProxy itself does not engage in creating, generating, selling, or providing mobile proxies.

Our clients interact with the internet through IP addresses provided by mobile operators. These IPs are linked to SIM cards inserted in their mobile devices used to establish connections.

Thus, the IP addresses assigned to our clients are not related to our servers, so we have no reason to "deflect responsibility from ourselves."

## So why do we keep logs? 

1️⃣ **First reason: We strive to ensure a safe and legal internet environment,** so as a responsible company, we act in accordance with laws and public interests to prevent the use of our infrastructure for illegal purposes.

2️⃣ **Second reason: We strive to protect the interests of our clients who share their proxy accesses.**

As previously mentioned, our clients use IP addresses from mobile operators. Therefore, if law enforcement agencies detect any illegal actions performed from such addresses, they will approach the mobile operator and based on the information provided, they will approach the owner of the SIM card. Consequently, all actions performed under that IP will be considered as actions by the SIM card owner.

Since we have the necessary technical capabilities, we store logs of our clients' connections, therefore, on their request, we can provide information about which IP address and at what time their connection was established, what websites were visited by the user. This way, we can help our client prove their integrity.

## How do we protect personal data? 

We adhere to high standards and principles of personal data protection established by GDPR, UK GDPR, CalOPPA, the Russian Federal Law No. 152-FZ "On Personal Data," etc.

Our approach to data processing includes the following important principles:

- **Limited access:** We can disclose personal data only to official authorized bodies after verifying the legitimacy of their request. We will not transfer your data to individuals who do not have legal rights to access it.
- **Minimum information:** We can disclose only the minimum necessary details.
- **Data protection:** We ensure a high level of data protection.
- **Prohibition on selling data:** We categorically prohibit selling our users' personal data.
- **Transparency:** We always strive to provide maximum transparency for our users.

Storing logs is important for ensuring safety and legality in the internet environment. We adhere to strict standards in processing and protecting our users' personal data. Our goal is to provide a reliable and safe environment for all who use our services. We strive to comply with the law and do everything possible to prevent illegal use of our infrastructure. 

Your privacy and security are always our top priority.

## What is an IP Address? 

An <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">IP address</a> is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network. It provides information about the device's location (country, region, city) and network interface identification (company-owner of the IP, for example, an Internet Service Provider or a specific organization to which the address is assigned).

### 🔍 How to Find My IP Address?

To find your IP address on different devices, follow these steps.

**On Windows:**

1. Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type "cmd" and press Enter to open the Command Prompt.

4. Look for the "IPv4 Address" under the network adapter you are connected to. This will be your IP address.

**On MAC:**

1. Click on the Apple menu and select "System Preferences."
2. In the System Preferences window, click on "Network."
3. Select your active network connection from the left sidebar.
4. Your IP address will be displayed on the right side of the window, labeled as "IP Address."

**On Android:**

1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
2. Scroll down and tap on "About phone" or "About device."
3. Look for "Status" or "Network" and tap on it.
4. Your IP address will be listed under "IP address" or "Wi-Fi IP address."

**On iPhone:**

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on "Wi-Fi" or "Cellular" depending on your connection.
3. Find your connected network and tap on the (i) icon next to it.
4. Your IP address will be displayed next to "IP Address."

**On any device through a web browser:**

You can use one of the IP checking websites, however, we recommend using trusted options that do not use the collected data for their own purposes. Here are reliable and secure websites to find out your IP: <a href="https://ifconfig.me/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">ifconfig.me</a> and <a href="https://db-ip.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">db-ip.com</a>.

## Why Do You Need to Hide Your IP Address? 
- 🔒 **Protecting Privacy, Online Security and Anonymity.** Hiding your computer IP address or IP address of your mobile device allows you to protect your online privacy by preventing tracking of your location and browsing habits. It also thwarts the creation of user profiles, targeted ads, and data gathering through IP tracking. Additionally, concealing your IP not only enhances online security, guarding against cyberattacks and identity theft but also enables anonymity for individuals like whistleblowers and journalists, allowing discreet internet browsing without leaving a digital footprint.
- 🕵️‍♂️ **Bypassing Network Restrictions.** Some networks (schools, workplaces, or countries) may impose restrictions on certain websites or online services. When using a proxy, your internet traffic does not go directly to the blocked website, but instead goes to a proxy server, the access to which is not restricted (<a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/traffic-path-from-android-to-program-with-proxy" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">more details about the path of traffic through a proxy</a>). 
- 🌎 **Avoiding Geographical Restrictions.** Certain websites or online services may be restricted to specific geographical regions. By hiding your IP address, you can bypass these restrictions and access content that is otherwise unavailable in your location.
- 🚀 **Avoiding IP-based Bans or Restrictions.** In some cases, you may have been banned or restricted from accessing certain websites or online services based on your IP address. Hiding your IP can help bypass these bans and regain access.

## 6 Methods to Make Your IP Address Private

### 1 – Proxy Servers

One of the effective methods on how to mask your IP address is by using a proxy. A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet. When you connect to a website through a proxy server, the website only sees the IP address of the proxy server, not your actual IP address. This helps to hide your identity and keep your IP address private.

> _N.B! iProxy.online allows you to generate private mobile proxies directly from your Android device, offering a rotating IP feature which is one of the <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/Ways-to-change-your-IP-address-using-iProxy-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">best ways to hide ip address</a>. Follow this <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/guide-for-setting-up-mobile-proxies-in-iproxyonline" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">guide</a> to set up iProxy’s mobile proxies._

### 2 – VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) and Proxy serve the same purpose (mask IP address) but use different underlying technologies. Typically, a VPN creates a tunnel, and all your traffic is forwarded through it (iProxy also support this mode using <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/all-about-ovpn-config-udp-http3-quiq" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">OVPN configs</a>). With a proxy, you can forward only specific traffic (from your custom software, a browser, or even from a specific browser tab to a specified site).

Each technology, whether VPN or Proxy, may or may not use encryption, depending solely on the server configuration, not on the technology itself. Typically, VPNs employ some form of encryption (<a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/all-about-ovpn-config-udp-http3-quiq" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">iProxy OVPN configs</a>, for example, use encryption by default). However, HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies do not use encryption without additional SSL/TLS configuration.

VPNs are available as both free and paid services, with paid options generally offering better security and performance.

### 3 – TOR Network

The <a href="https://www.torproject.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Tor network</a> is a decentralized network that anonymizes your internet traffic by bouncing it through a series of volunteer-operated servers called nodes. This makes it extremely difficult for anyone to track your IP address or monitor your online activities. It is a robust solution on how to hide your IP address.

### 4 – Browser Extensions

Various extensions, often available for popular browsers like Chrome or Firefox, offer features such as VPN services, proxy connections, or ad-blocking with added privacy measures. These extensions make IP anonymous by routing the internet traffic through different servers, masking your original IP address and providing a level of anonymity. 
> _N.B!  It is crucial to choose reputable extensions from trusted sources to ensure the security of your data._

### 5 – DuckDuckGo search engine 

<a href="https://duckduckgo.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">DuckDuckGo</a> is a privacy-focused search engine that does not track your online activities or store your IP address. It is no secret that Google, Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex, and other popular search engines collect your search history, for example, for targeted advertising purposes. By using DuckDuckGo instead of other search engines, you can maintain your privacy and browse the internet anonymously. In addition, DuckDuckGo will provide you with a more objective search result without being tied to location and search history.

### 6 – Public Wi-Fi networks

Using public Wi-Fi networks, including the transition to IPv6, can help in hiding your IP address as it assigns a different IP address to your device. However, public Wi-Fi networks may not always be secure, and using additional privacy measures like VPNs or proxy servers is recommended for enhanced privacy.

## Factors to Consider When Choosing an IP Hiding Method

When choosing the best way to hide IP address from website, there are several factors that you should consider:

⚡**Speed and Performance.** For activities that require a fast and stable internet connection like streaming or online gaming; prioritize IP hiding methods with minimal impact on speed and latency. 

🛡️**Security.** Evaluate the security level, including encryption protocols, data logging policies, and the service provider's reputation. Opt for a method with strong security measures to protect against potential threats.

💻**Compatibility with Devices and Platforms.** Ensure the chosen method supports diverse devices, including desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Additionally, prioritize compatibility with various browsers and applications for a seamless experience across multiple platforms.

👌**Ease of Use.** Choose an IP hiding method that is user-friendly and easy to set up, prioritizing simplicity in the installation process. 

🌐**Server Locations and Network Size.** Consider the server count and locations in your chosen IP hiding method. A larger network spanning multiple countries enables access to geo-restricted content and lets you pick the most suitable server location for your needs.

🥰**Customer Support.** Choose a service with reliable customer support, considering the availability of channels like live chat, email, or phone. Ensure the support team is responsive and knowledgeable to promptly address any issues or concerns you may have.

💰**Pricing and Payment Options.** Select a method that aligns with your budget and provides flexible payment options, including monthly or yearly subscriptions. Remember that free services often compromise your data’s security. As the saying goes, “If you're not paying for the product, you are the product”.

By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision when choosing an IP hiding method that best suits your needs and preferences.

How to Crawl a Website Without Getting Blocked? 11 Best Ways

#  How to Crawl a Website Without Getting Blocked? 11 Best Ways

Scraping a website is the process of extracting data from it, which can be useful for various purposes such as data analysis, market research, content scraping, price comparison, and many more. However, many websites have measures in place to block or limit scraping activities to protect their content and server resources. 

In this article, we will explore some of the best ways to scrape websites without getting blocked. These methods will help you navigate through the challenges of webs while respecting the website's policies and avoiding any potential blocks.

## How Do Websites Detect Scrapers?

![Blog_How_To_Crawl_1_Websites](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/Blog_How_To_Crawl_1_Websites_Detect_ff346cf593.png)

Websites detect and block scrapers using various techniques. Here is a list describing some common methods:

- **IP Address Blocks.** Websites can block specific IP addresses or IP ranges associated with scrapers. This method is effective if the scraper consistently uses the same IP address.
- **User Agent Analysis.** By analyzing the user agent string sent by the scraper, websites can determine if it aligns with the behavior of a typical web browser. If the user agent appears suspicious or does not correspond to a legitimate browser, the scraper can be blocked.
- **Rate Limiting.** Rate limiting mechanisms can be implemented by websites to limit the number of requests made by a user or IP address within a specific time frame, and if the allowed limit is exceeded by a scraper, the website can block or temporarily restrict access.
- **CAPTCHA Challenges.** Websites can present CAPTCHA challenges to users or suspicious requests to verify if they are made by humans or automated scrapers. Scrapers often struggle to solve CAPTCHAs, leading to their detection and blocking.
- **Behavior Analysis.** To detect abnormal scraping activities, user behavior patterns are monitored by websites. For example, if a user is rapidly accessing a significant number of pages or exhibiting a predictable sequence, it may indicate scraping. Websites can then block such users.
- **Honeypot Traps.** Honeypot traps are hidden links or pages that are not visible to regular users but are accessible to scrapers. If a scraper accesses these traps, it indicates their presence, and the website can take action to block them.
- **Session Tracking.** Tracking user sessions and analyzing metrics such as session duration and navigation patterns allows websites to identify scrapers. If a session displays traits of a scraper, such as excessive page visits or repetitive actions, the website can block the scraper.
- **Machine Learning Algorithms.** Machine learning algorithms can be used by websites to analyze different data points and patterns in order to detect scrapers, enabling them to learn from previous scraping incidents and identify emerging scraping techniques. 

Knowing how to crawl websites without getting blocked is key to navigating around these common methods.

## Pro Tips on Web Scraping Without Getting Blocked

Whether you are new to web scraping or have prior experience, these tips will help you avoid being blocked when web scraping and ensure a smooth scraping process. 

![Blog_How_To_Crawl_2_Pro_Tips](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/Blog_How_To_Crawl_2_Pro_Tips_416f6f85b4.png)

### 1. Set Real Request Headers

When making requests to a website, the headers contain information about the user agent, language, and other details that help identify the source of the request. By setting real request headers, the web scraper appears more like a regular user, reducing the chances of being detected and blocked by the website. It is important to mimic the headers of a popular browser and include common headers such as User-Agent, Accept-Language, and Referer. 

The "Referrer" in an HTTP request header informs the website about the site you are coming from. So, it is advisable to set this header to make it appear as if you are coming from Google, as it is commonly set as the default search engine.

> N.B.! Rotating and randomizing the headers for each request can further enhance the scraping process and avoid suspicion.

### 2. Use Proxies

Proxies act as intermediaries between your computer and the websites you are scraping, allowing you to hide your IP address and avoid detection. By using proxies, you can make multiple requests to a website without raising any red flags.

Be extremely cautious when choosing a proxy for web scraping. Avoid using free and public proxies as they tend to be slow, unreliable, and overcrowded. They can also result in IP blocking or CAPTCHA challenges. Additionally, free proxies may lack security measures, making them susceptible to hacking.

iProxy can offer you a private rotating proxies that provide a unique IP address for each request, ensuring that you don't get blocked by websites. 

Our users have the advantage of flexibly managing proxy <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/Ways-to-change-your-IP-address-using-iProxy-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">IP changes</a>. This can be done manually by clicking a button, through a command in our Telegram bot, at regular intervals specified by the user, or via our API.

Take a look at our range of <a href="https://iproxy.online/pricing" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">features and pricing</a> options to find the best fit for your needs, including <a href="https://iproxy.online/ecommerce" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">proxy for ecommerce business</a> and <a href="https://iproxy.online/web-scraping" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">buy proxies for data scraping</a>!


### 4. Use Headless Browsers

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_browser" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Headless browsers</a> are web browsers without a graphical user interface, allowing you to automate web scraping tasks without any visual distractions. By using headless browsers, you can navigate websites, interact with elements, and extract data programmatically. This eliminates the need for manual scraping and allows you to scrape websites at scale.

One popular headless browser is <a href="https://pptr.dev/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Puppeteer</a>. Puppeteer is a Node.js library that provides a high-level API for controlling headless Chrome or Chromium browsers. With Puppeteer, you can automate tasks such as clicking buttons, filling forms, and scrolling pages, making web scraping a breeze.

### 5. Outsmart Honeypot Traps

Honeypot traps are hidden elements or links on a website that are invisible to regular users but can be detected by scrapers.

To avoid falling into honeypot traps, you need to analyze the website's HTML structure and look for hidden elements or links (attributes like "visibility: hidden" or "display: none" in the CSS style sheet). By identifying and avoiding these honeypots, you can scrape the website without triggering any alarms.

![Blog_How_To_Crawl_3_Honeypot](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/Blog_How_To_Crawl_3_Honeypot_82c271eb6f.png)

### 6. Avoid Fingerprinting

Fingerprinting is a technique used by websites to identify and track users based on their unique device and browser configurations. 

One effective method to avoid fingerprinting is to randomize your user agent for each request. The user agent is a string that identifies the browser and operating system being used. By rotating your user agent, you can make it difficult for websites to track your scraping activities.

Another useful method is to disable or modify browser features that can be used for fingerprinting, such as JavaScript, cookies, and WebGL. By disabling or modifying these features, you can make your scraping activities less distinguishable from regular user behavior.

By the way, iProxy will help you spoof the <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/replace-passive-OS-fingerprint-in-mobile-proxies-iProxyonline" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Passive OS Fingerprint</a>! 

### 7. Bypass Anti-bot Systems

Many websites employ anti-bot systems to detect and block scrapers. These systems use complex techniques to identify and differentiate between human users and bots.

To successfully bypass anti-bot checks, you need to mimic human-like behavior while scraping. This includes randomizing the timing between requests, mimicking mouse movements, and rotating user agents. By making your scraping activities appear more human-like, you can avoid detection by anti-bot systems.

> N.B.! Using proxies can also help you bypass anti-bot systems. By rotating your IP addresses for each request, you can make it difficult for websites to link your scraping activities together and identify them as bot-driven.

### 8. Automate CAPTCHA Solving

CAPTCHA is a security measure used by websites to differentiate between human users and bots. To automate the process of solving CAPTCHAs, you can use paid CAPTCHA solving services that employ human workers to solve CAPTCHAs on behalf of the user or explore <a href="https://github.com/topics/anti-captcha" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">open-source solutions</a>.

Another technique is to use machine learning algorithms to solve CAPTCHAs. By training a model on a dataset of CAPTCHA images, you can automate the CAPTCHA solving process. However, this method requires significant computational resources and expertise in machine learning.

![Blog_How_To_Crawl_4_capcha](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/Blog_How_To_Crawl_4_capcha_ded9206d5f.png)

### 9. Use APIs to Your Advantage

Many websites offer APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow you to access and retrieve data in a structured format. Using APIs can be a more efficient and reliable method of gathering data compared to scraping websites directly.

By using APIs, you can retrieve data in a standardized format, eliminating the need for parsing and extracting data from HTML. APIs also often provide rate limits and authentication mechanisms, ensuring that you can access the data you need without any interruptions.

> N.B.! To use APIs effectively, you need to identify websites that offer APIs and understand their documentation. You may need to sign up for an API key or authenticate your requests using tokens or credentials.

### 10. Stop Repeated Failed Attempts

When scraping websites, it is common to encounter errors or failed attempts. Repeatedly making failed requests can raise suspicion and lead to your IP address being blocked.

To avoid this, you can implement retry mechanisms with exponential backoff. This means that if a request fails, you wait for a certain period of time before retrying. The waiting time increases exponentially with each failed attempt, reducing the likelihood of triggering any blocks.

You should also monitor and analyze the responses from the website. By analyzing the responses, you can identify patterns or errors that may be causing the failed attempts. Adjusting your scraping strategy based on these insights can help you avoid repeated failures.

> N.B.! Using proxies can also help you stop repeated failed attempts. By rotating your IP addresses for each request, you can prevent your scraping activities from being linked together.

### 11. Scrape Data out of the Google Cache

As a final option, especially for data that remains relatively static, you can extract information from Google's cached version of a website instead of the actual website. To do this, add:  "http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:" at the start of the URL.

![Blog_How_To_Crawl_5_Conclusion](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/Blog_How_To_Crawl_5_Conclusion_3d4eead140.png)

## Conclusion

Web scraping is a powerful tool that allows businesses to gather valuable data from the internet. It provides insights, enhances decision-making, and improves overall efficiency. 

It is crucial to follow ethical practices and respect the website's terms of service to avoid getting blocked. Implementing techniques such as rotating user agents, limiting request frequency, using proxies and the other tips from this article can help maintain a low profile and prevent detection.

✅ Discover what is a Mbit/s! ▶️ Learn its meaning and the differences from MByte in this informative read! ▶️ Master the essentials of data transfer today! 

What is Mbit/s? Difference Between Mbit/s vs MByte/s

## What is Mbit/s?

The term "megabit" frequently comes up in discussions about internet speed. Mbit/s, or Megabits per second, is a unit used to quantify the speed of data transfer, particularly in the context of digital communication and networking. It represents the number of millions of bits that can be transmitted or received each second. For example, a connection of 20 Mbit/s can download a 250 MB file in about 100 seconds. 
If you're looking to optimize your internet experience, you can check how to <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/how-to-increase-proxy-speed" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">increase proxy speed</a> for smoother performance.

## What Is a Megabyte/s?

A Megabyte per second (MB/s) is a unit used to measure data transfer speed, indicating how many millions of bytes are transferred each second. It is commonly used to describe the speed of data storage devices, like hard drives and SSDs, as well as data transfer rates in networks. For instance, if you are copying a movie file that is 1 GB (1,000 MB) in size from your computer to an external hard drive with a transfer speed of 50 MB/s, it would take approximately 20 seconds to complete the transfer (1,000 MB / 50 MB/s = 20 seconds). This is crucial when dealing with <a href="https://iproxy.online/ad-tech" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">proxies for ad verification</a>, as every second counts in time-sensitive operations.

## Difference Between Megabit and Megabyte

To understand what is a mbit and what does mbit mean we need to understand its usage. Megabit is commonly used by a provider to indicate the data transfer rate of a network and the internet. Now that we have figured out the mbit definition, have you ever wondered what the mbps meaning is? For example, 100 Mbit/s (megabits per second) Fast Ethernet connection. The provider usually indicates the maximum allowable speed, but, in practice, the speed can change every second.
Knowing how to work with reliable <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/trustworthy-mobile-proxy-providers" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">mobile proxy providers</a> can help ensure you maximize your internet potential.

Now as we figured out what is a megabit, let’s see what the mbit vs mbyte and mb/s vs mbps differences are. The answer to this question is in the usage of these metrics. Megabytes are used to indicate the size of a file and its storage on a computer, removable media and cloud services. The reason for this is in the peculiarities of information processing. A bit is the smallest unit of measure for the digital information, each bit can be either zero or one. In short, the difference between mbit and mbyte is that megabytes are typically used to measure data storage capacity, whereas megabits are often used to measure data transfer rates.

Byte consists of eight bits, byte is the minimum amount of the memory that a computer can read and process. The byte is used to encode a single character of text in a computer. Since the files began to take up more and more memory, the file sizes are calculated in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB), terabytes (TB). Limitations of the mobile operators' plans are usually measured in GB.
For instance, <a href="https://iproxy.online/social-networks" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">social media proxies</a> often deal with these variations in data usage for secure and smooth operations.

Example 1

If the download speed is 20 Mbit/s, the file will be downloaded with a speed of 20/8=2.5 MByte/s. That is, a 25 MB file will be downloaded in 10 seconds with a speed of 20 Mbit/s.

Example 2

![speed_en.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/speed_en_609f26c1bc.png)

The speed is displayed in Mbit/s and MByte/s on the screenshot. 320.11/8=40.01. That is, with the speed of 320.11 Mbit/s, the file will be downloaded with a speed of 40.01 MByte/s.

Example 3

Let's assume that the speed of the mobile operator is 20 Mbit/s. (20/8=2.5 MByte/s) and you need to download a 1 GB file (1024 MB). Thus, it will take 1024/2.5 = 409.6 seconds or approximately 7 minutes to download the file.

## How to Measure Megabits and Megabytes

A bit is the smallest unit of data, represented as a binary 0 or 1. Bits are grouped into bytes, which consist of eight bits. Units like kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes are each 1,000 times larger than the previous unit. Network bandwidth is typically measured in megabits per second (Mbps), while storage capacity is measured in megabytes (MB). This distinction arises because bits are the fundamental unit for measuring data transfer rates, similar to how the flow rate of plumbing is measured in smaller units for precision. Say, if your internet connection has a speed of 50 Mbps, it means it can transfer 50 million bits of data per second. To convert this to Megabytes per second, divide by 8 (since 1 Byte = 8 bits). So, 50 Mbps is equivalent to approximately 6.25 MB/s.

## How do IP address changes work?
By toggling Airplane mode, but make sure the Android device itself is connected to the Internet via a SIM card. After toggling Airplane mode back off, your mobile operator will issue you a new IP address. 

Please note: if the device is connected to Wi-Fi and you toggle on Airplane mode, then your Wi-Fi’s IP won’t change. Changing the IP address works only when the device has mobile Internet.

## What is root access?
**Root**- is a “superuser”. The rooted iProxy app can remotely control a device: toggle the Airplane mode, restart the phone.

The iProxy application also works great on non-rooted devices: it can remotely toggle Airplane mode through a voice assistant or with the help of a clicker through the Macrodroid app. Read more about changing IP addresses remotely on rooted and non-rooted devices in this <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/Ways-to-change-your-IP-address-using-iProxy-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">article</a>.


## How to obtain root access on an Android device?
Getting root access is no small feat. Each phone model has its own firmware and not all phones can be reflashed.

We’ve compiled <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/recommended-android-devices-for-iproxyonline" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">a list of tested root-phones for iProxy</a> along with instructions on how to obtain root access. The phones listed in the article are fairly easy to root.

If your phone model isn’t on the <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/recommended-android-devices-for-iproxyonline" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">list</a>, then we don’t know for sure whether it can be rooted or not, and if it can, how complicated the process will be. Which is why we **strongly recommend you turn to specialists** that work in service centers/markets, lest you risk wasting precious time.  


Please note: when rooting XiaoMi, you need to wait 7 to 14 days for the manufacturer to approve the flashing. Tip: check in advance with the specialist who will reflash your XiaoMi whether they know how to root without having to wait 7-14 days. 

On the 4pda forum, you can look for rooting instructions for your specific phone model.


## Can I buy a rooted Android device from you with a 100% working proxy?
Sure, contact our <a href="https://t.me/iproxy_support" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Telegram support</a>. A phone with root access and the pre-installed iProxy app will cost you 5,990 rub. (as of February 28, 2022). We sell phones at cost price and flash them for free. The smartphones on offer have been tested by thousands of iProxy users, so you can be 100% sure of them.

Please note that once rooted, your phone will no longer be covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Also, if you attempt rooting your phone without following our instructions, you risk essentially turning it into a brick, meaning you won’t be able to install an OS on the phone or launch it, which is why we recommend **hiring a specialist for such purposes.**

All about .OVPN configs, UDP, HTTP/3, QUIQ support

# Terms

**External IP-address** - IP-address of the mobile phone, which End user is connected to via proxy access points or .ovpn config.

**Proxy access points** - ip/port/login/password used to connect to the proxy.

**Config .OVPN** - file with type .ovpn to run through the programs that support this file type.

iProxy.online has supported UDP, which is highly requested feature. It's implemented by connecting via .ovpn config.

```

}
```

## What is .OVPN config? What's the difference from usual proxy access points?

Please note that this feature is available only on the **BigDaddy Pro** plan.
.OVPN config is a file which is possible to create for each connection on the iProxy.online dashboard. 

Step 1. Install 470 version of the application or higher. Download it from <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iproxy.android" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Play Store</a> or <a href="https://iproxy.online/android" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">APK</a>.

Step 2. It is possible to connect to the phone's traffic using .OVPN config.  Install the program on your device first:
- Windows: <a href="https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/</a>

- MAC: <a href="https://tunnelblick.net/cInstall.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">https://tunnelblick.net/cInstall.html</a>

- Android: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn</a>

- iOS: <a href="https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/openvpn-connect/id590379981" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/openvpn-connect/id590379981</a>

Step 3. Download .OVPN config from iProxy.online dashboard and open it using the program (from paragraph 1). 
 
![eng.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/eng_0dd5a72d77.png)

All done! The traffic of the computer goes through the taffic of the phone.  

Video how to set up .OVPN config:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QIyy6CjTXnk" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

## The difference between .OVPN connection and usual proxy access points (TCP)

### TCP

TCP is a usual way of connection to the proxy using  ip/port/login/password. It is necessary to add  ip/port/login/password of the proxy in each program in oder to use **external IP-address** in it.

### .OVPN

The whole traffic of the computer goes through the proxy while connecting via **.OVPN config**, thus **proxy access points are not used**, it's not necessary to insert them to the programs. 

## What are the advantages of .OVPN over TCP?

- Different ways of connection to the proxy. It is not necessary to insert proxy credentials.
- The whole traffic of the computer goes through the external IP of the phone, this means that all programs running on the computer will work through the external IP address, even those that do not have the ability to specify proxy credentials.
- Another and more modern way to transfer data. When working through .OVPN, configs successfully pass UDP, HTTP/3, QUIQ tests.
- It is possible to connect via the cofig not only from a computer, but also from phones (Android, iOS) or routers.

Screenshots of .ovpn configs usage:

![photo_2023-04-18 18.17.46.jpeg](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/photo_2023_04_18_18_17_46_7e973240c8.jpeg)

![photo_2023-04-18 18.17.49.jpeg](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/photo_2023_04_18_18_17_49_1be3da5c7e.jpeg)

This versatility makes .OVPN config an excellent choice for various online activities. For users involved in betting, our <a href="https://iproxy.online/betting" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">proxy for betting</a> offers a tailored solution to ensure secure and smooth operations.

## What is necessary to know about UDP, HTTP/3?

- All the major players now support HTTP/3 (Google, Facebook, etc).
- HTTP/3 (QUIC) protocol is mainly used to work with video/audio broadcasts.
- All the major browsers support HTTP/3.

This means, that when connecting through older protocols (TCP), the behavior is different from the most users who simply visit sites directly from their phones. Thus, working through UDP for websites looks as natural as for ordinary Internet users. Which ensures the maximum trust from the sites.


## Features of the work with .OVPN configs

- Working through .ovpn configs is suitable for those who run work on remote virtual machines or physical computers without using anti-detect browsers.
- At the time of writing the article, .ovpn configs are not supported by antidetection browsers. Make requests to the antidetection  browsers you work with a suggestion to support .ovpn.

What are proxy ports, why doesn’t the IP from proxy ports change, why can you use the same proxy ports in different profiles, double traffic consumption on your phone

The path of traffic from your phone to the program you use a proxy in

# Terms

**Proxy ports** - the ip/port/login/password you get in your account.
Let's use the following proxy ports as an example: 

**IP** 31.172.114.132 - this is the IP address of the iProxy.online server when you chose the city closest to you while creating a new Connection  
**Port** 13002  
**Login** username1  
**Password** 123215233124  

**End user** - the user who connects to the proxy (uses the proxy or <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/all-about-ovpn-config-udp-http3-quiq" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">.OVPN config</a>).

**Wi-Fi split** - an option in Android application iProxy, which allows to reduce traffic consumption by 2 times and can improve proxy speed.

**iProxy Relay Server** - intermediate server between the end user and Android-phone. The end user connects to the iProxy Relay Server, which, in its turn, connects to the traffic of Android-phone.

```

"subtitle":"Need private and fast mobile proxies?",
"text":"Make mobile proxies right now!",
"bt_label":"Start free 48-hour trial"
}
```

## What is the path traffic takes from your phone to the program using a proxy? 

Scenario: you’re working on your computer. The computer is connected to your home Wi-Fi. The computer has a program (an anti-detect browser) where you enter proxy ports and through that browser visit <a href="https://facebook.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">facebook.com</a>. To optimize your setup, you might consider to <a href="https://iproxy.online/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">create a 4G mobile proxy farm</a>.

Let’s say you decided to open <a href="https://facebook.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">facebook.com</a> in your anti-detect browser.

- The program detects the proxy ports in the settings, so it understands that the website must be accessed exclusively through proxy ports (not the home Wi-Fi).
- Don’t forget that we input the ip/port/login/password into the program. The program contacts the iProxy.online server using the IP 31.172.114.132 and requests to receive traffic from the 13002 port. 
- The server checks the login and password, and if they match, it contacts the Phone and requests to receive traffic from it.
- The phone receives the request to visit the <a href="https://facebook.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">facebook.com</a> and fulfills it.
- <a href="https://facebook.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Facebook.com</a>  sees the request to open the website using the phone’s mobile Internet and responds by sending the website’s content: text, images, etc.
- The phone sends content to the iProxy server.
- The iProxy server sends the content to the Program
- The Program receives the content and opens <a href="https://facebook.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">facebook.com</a>
 

This way, the following traffic transfer chain is formed:

Program - iProxy server - Phone - Website - Phone - iProxy server - Program.
![Cover 1.1 (14).png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/small_Cover_1_1_13_7bcc4801f9_6dd72425bb.png)

In the above mentioned example:
Anti-detect browser - iProxy server - Phone - <a href="https://facebook.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">facebook.com</a> - Phone - iProxy Server - Anti-detect browser  .

As you can see from this chain, Facebook only sees part of the “path” the traffic took: from Facebook to the Phone. **The website will only see the external IP address of the phone**, since it’s only part of the “Phone-Facebook-Phone” chain.

Facebook doesn’t know where the traffic from the phone goes next, which means you can use the same proxy ports from different accounts. 


## Why doesn’t proxy ports’ IP address change?
Because traffic always goes through the same iProxy server. The website you visit has no way of knowing that traffic is going through the server.

Let us remind you that the website you visit only sees your phone’s IP address.

## Why you can use the same proxy ports from different accounts
Since the website you visit has no way of knowing that the website’s content gets sent from the phone somewhere else, the former can’t identify the proxy ports either, which lets you safely use the same proxy ports for all your accounts.  

## Double traffic consumption on your phone

It should be noted that this model doubles the traffic consumption:

**Classic way to load a website:** Phone-Website 

**Loading a website through iProxy.online:**  the traffic consumption doubles because the phone additionally sends traffic to the proxy (path section: phone - iProxy server)  . Keep this in mind when choosing a tariff plan and the amount of work that you carry out.  
Set up Wi-FI Split option to avoid double traffic consumption and increase the speed of the proxy. Learn more about Wi-FI Split in the <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/wifi-split-eng" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">article</a>.

 

If, for example, you have unlimited social media traffic, it will still count, since besides loading the website the classic way (#1 from the above mentioned example), that you won’t get charged for, you’ll still be exchanging data with the iProxy server and THAT path section won’t be covered by your “unlimited traffic plan”.

## **Long story short**

So,  what is the difference between web scraping and web crawling then? Web scraping vs crawling are frequently mentioned together, but they have several key differences.
Web scraping is the process of extracting specific data from web pages, such as text, images, or links. Its primary goal is to obtain the desired information from individual web pages. This is often achieved using specialized tools and scripts designed to collect data from specific sources. Web scraping is typically limited to small sets of pages, and the frequency of updates depends on the specific task.
Web crawling, in contrast, involves traversing a multitude of web pages to gather information about the structure and content of websites. Its main objective is to cover large volumes of websites, including thousands and millions of pages, for indexing or data collection. This process is usually automated using web spiders or bots that crawl websites and collect information without manual intervention. It is performed periodically to update data in search indexes or for monitoring websites. So, it is not a “web crawler vs web scraper” or “web scraper vs web crawler” (depending on how you look at it) type of situation, but rather “web crawler for scraper”.
Thus, web crawling vs web scraping have different objectives and are used for different tasks, but they often complement each other, ensuring the collection and analysis of data from the Internet.

## **Understanding Web Crawling**

Web crawling is the process of automatically navigating websites to obtain information about their content. Web crawlers, also known as web spiders and web robots, automatically follow links on web pages and gather data by analyzing the content of each page.
The main objective of web crawling is to index web content for search engines. For instance, search engines use web crawling to navigate billions of web pages and index their content to deliver relevant search results to users. Additionally, it is used for monitoring changes on websites, gathering data for analytics and research, and creating copies of websites for archiving purposes.

## **Understanding Web Scraping**

Web scraping is the process of automated web data extraction from websites. This is done using software that analyzes the HTML code of web pages and extracts the needed information. Web scraper can extract text, images, links, tables, and other data from web pages.
The use of web scraping ranges from obtaining prices from online stores to analyzing news websites or extracting data for research and analytics. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that web scraping can be illegal or violate the usage policies of websites.

        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<br/>

Overall, web scraping is a powerful tool for collecting data from the Internet, but its use requires consideration of technical and legal aspects, as well as an understanding of its limitations and risks.

### **Common web scraping use cases**

### **How may mobile proxies help in web scraping?**

Many websites impose restrictions on scraping, reducing the frequency of requests or blocking access from certain IP addresses. This is where mobile proxies come into play, as they can bypass these restrictions and increase the efficiency of data collection.
- IP switching and rotation
Proxies hide your real IP, and rotation enables you to use a new one with each subsequent request to the site! Consequently, the site you are scraping cannot detect that the requests are coming from the same user. Therefore, it cannot block the scraping.


>_Mobile IPs enjoy the highest level of "trust" from websites, making mobile proxies the most effective solution for scraping and crawling tasks._

![Имидж 2.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/Imidzh_2_f1120b1c24.png)

- Bypassing geographical restrictions
Mobile proxies allow access to websites from different geographical locations, which is useful if you need to collect localized data that is only available in specific regions.

- Improving speed and reliability
Using mobile proxies can improve the speed and reliability of scraping by distributing requests across different IP addresses and servers.

- Obtaining access to mobile app APIs
Many websites provide access to data through their mobile applications. Mobile proxies can be used to monitor or scrape data available through the APIs of mobile applications for more comprehensive information.

## **Conclusion**

Web scraping and web crawling are essential tools for data collection and analysis. Web scraping involves extracting structured data from websites, whereas web crawling is the systematic traversal of web pages for indexing and analysis.
Both tools have their strengths and can be utilized in various domains: market analysis, audience research, monitoring, and task automation. Adhering to copyright laws, respecting information, and using the gathered data responsibly are the pillars of an ethical approach to web scraping vs crawling. It is crucial to carefully choose tools that match the task. For efficient data management, you will certainly need both tools, so there is no reason to compare a web crawler vs scraper.
Efficient use of web scraping and web crawling is not possible without the application of proxy servers.
Mobile proxies from <a href="https://iproxy.online/#pricing" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">iProxy</a> facilitate the process of scraping or crawling, allowing you to bypass IP address restrictions, maintain your anonymity, and provide additional security features.

How to Sell Proxies (and Anything Else) Through Telegram Channels?

In 2024, the number of Telegram users exceeded 900 million people. Although Telegram has not yet caught up with the market leader WhatsApp with its 2 billion users, the rapid growth of its audience and constant improvements in functionality make it an attractive tool for businesses of any scale.

What's important is not just the number of Telegram users, but also their composition. Are your potential partners or clients among them? To answer this question, first, you need to look at the geography. If your target audience is based in India, Russia and the Russian-speaking community, Indonesia, the USA, and Egypt (these are the top 5 countries by messenger popularity), then Telegram will definitely be useful for you.

Secondly, in which industries does your audience operate? If it's online earnings, traffic arbitrage, affiliate marketing, and digital marketing in general with a focus on Black hat SEO, then also pay close attention to Telegram.

It's worth noting that many iProxy proxy farmers run their own Telegram channels (by the way, our <a href="https://t.me/iproxyonline_support_english" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">English-speaking community</a>, where you can buy ready-made mobile proxies, is also there). Many make Telegram their main showcase platform for their store, especially when starting a business when there's no need for a separate website yet.

But how do you develop your Telegram channel? How do you attract the right audience and keep their attention? We've prepared answers to these questions in this joint article with our friends from <a href="https://affcommunity.org/en/?utm_source=iproxy.online" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">AffCommunity</a>!


>Mobile 3G, 4G / LTE, 5G proxies from iProxy are great for working with Telegram.
✅  You can effectively bypass geographical blocks (for example, if Telegram is unavailable in your country) by buying proxies with the desired geolocation from our <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/trustworthy-mobile-proxy-providers" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">trusted seller</a>. 
✅  You can use iProxy for multi-account work in Telegram, group scraping, and botting.

## **The Basics: Foundation of a Successful Telegram Channel**

Promoting a Telegram channel is not fundamentally different from developing any other media resource. As in other cases, it's useful to perform several preparatory steps. We won't delve into long marketing theorizing, so we'll provide the most basic and minimal recommendations.

### **1. Define Your Goals**

What benefit do you want to get from the channel? Options can be varied: a showcase channel for direct one-time sales, a tool for maintaining contact with existing customers and strengthening their loyalty, an entertainment or educational channel for native promotion of your products, a platform for cross-promotion with partners, a stage for self-expression, and much more.

The more precisely you understand your goals, the more effective all further work will be. Defining success criteria will also depend on defining goals. These can be not only subscribers (subscribers themselves are only useful if you plan to earn on the channel as an advertising platform for sale), but also conversions to purchase, transitions to your external resources, etc.

### **2. Understand Your Target Audience**

Define the gender, age, income, place of residence, field of work, interests, favorite movies and music of your audience. Favorite words and memes. What does this person love? What makes them laugh? What angers them? What do they hate? What are they afraid of? The more accurately you answer these questions, the better you can "target" your audience with your content and advertising.

### **3. Think Through Your Content Plan**

Decide what you will publish and how often. Why does your target audience need these publications? And why do you need them? Where will you get the material? Do you have enough resources for such material? Do you plan interactivity and communication with the audience? Again, many questions, and again each answer will bring you closer to effectively achieving the goals from point 1.

At this stage, it will be useful to evaluate the content plan of competitors - that is, channels aimed at the same target audience and having approximately the same goals as you. Compiling a list and analyzing such channels will be useful not only for possible refinement of your own content plan based on others' experience but also for further promotion through cross-promotion or advertising purchases.


>**Telegram scraping** will help you quickly compile a list of best practices from competing channels. For example, quickly and 100% accurately answer the question: "Which posts and channels collect the most likes, comments, and views?" 
>**For scraping Telegram channels, you will need the following:**
>1. Several Telegram accounts.
>2. Mobile proxies with rotation (iProxy is a great option).
>3. A scraping script (you can find ready-made scripts in open access in expert articles or on GitHub, but use other people's scripts only if you understand what's written there and are sure that the script won't harm your device).

### **4. Choose a Promotion Strategy**

There are numerous options here, much will depend on your goals, audience, and, of course, resources (both monetary and "contacts" in the industry for cross-promotion). Here's a list of the most popular promotion options:

- **Free cross-promotions** with channels of similar themes with approximately the same number of subscribers. Can be implemented in the form of mutual reposts, guest posts, joint broadcasts, etc.
- **Paid advertising purchases** in other channels. Various formats and creatives are also possible.
- **Telegram Ads.** Advertising in other channels through the Telegram exchange (usually more expensive).
- **External platforms.** Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and any others.
- **Posts and articles** aimed at reposting (organic growth)
- **Sticker packs.**
- **Telegram bots** with channel advertising integration.
- **Comments in other channels** on behalf of your own (requires Telegram Premium).
- **Participation in folders.**
- **Participation in collections.**
- **Advertising in third-party channels** where your channel is mentioned among others.
- **Hashtags.** A relatively new tool that implements transitions by hashtag in a post between different channels.

## **Purchasing Advertising in Other Telegram Channels**

### **Analyzing Telegram Channels**

![photo_2024-09-25_22-44-26.jpg](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/photo_2024_09_25_22_44_26_24a46ce047.jpg)

The most important tool for analyzing Telegram channels is Telemetr. This service is widely used by channel owners making purchases, as well as advertising managers (sellers). Alternative options are Tgstat, as well as the TelegaIn exchange.

Telemetr allows you to track:

- Telegram channels by categories and topics, taking into account their indicators;
- All sold/purchased advertising spots of all time;
- Approximate return on each purchased/sold advertisement - number of transitions.

Only the paid version is equipped with full functionality. The costs of acquiring it pay off if you regularly use the service.

For effective work, you should create a table for all purchases made. This document needs to be regularly maintained. It will display all purchases and the effectiveness of posts placed in channels.

Each topic has its own <a href="https://affcommunity.org/en/?utm_source=iproxy.online" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">CPM</a> coefficient. This is essentially the price per thousand views. It can range from $1.6 to even $11. You can calculate the price of an advertising spot by multiplying the indicator by the number of views on the channel per day.

Here's an example calculation. When placed in 1/24 format, the ad stays at the top for exactly 1 hour, not overlapping with the channel's content. It stays in the feed for a total of 24 hours (until deletion). If CPM=$3, then with a post gaining 6-7 thousand views in 24 hours, the cost of the advertising spot will be $18-21. Depending on the content plan, you can embed several advertising posts - 2, 3, and even 6. 

The owner can artificially arouse curiosity in the potential audience. For example, they might write in an advertising post about the threat of closing the channel. In this case, users may specifically check to see the content.

However, 98% of visitors won't verify the published information. After clicking on the advertising post, they may subscribe if they like the content, and then return to the previous channel. Therefore, such techniques work quite effectively.

This type of creative ensures good purchase metrics. You can post a photo with a bottle of alcohol behind the wheel. Such methods work successfully in the "Politics" category, as if the authorities are trying to shut down a rebellious blogger.

The price here can be $0.19-0.25 per subscriber, with a CPM level of about $1.5-3.

The next important point is the engagement of the channel's audience. It's important that subscribers forward your posts and read them within a maximum of 2 days. In Telemetr, the engagement level is designated as ER. You should aim for the maximum value of this indicator.

Reactions and comments from subscribers are also important.

### **How to Select Channels for Advertising?**

![photo_2024-09-25_22-44-33.jpg](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/photo_2024_09_25_22_44_33_1000dc7772.jpg)

After choosing the theme and content, you need to select different Telegram channels for various creatives where the advertisement will be placed. Track statistics for each one separately.

When selecting channels, pay attention to the following parameters:

1. Audience growth over different time periods (week, month). A positive indicator is marked in green in the service. You need to choose significant growth. If a channel has 150 subscribers, but the growth for the month is only 1k, this is a poor value. It means there's practically no growth, the audience isn't refreshing. There's a plateau. If you bought posts there last month, the advertising won't have much effect.

2. Audience activity. This is determined by two parameters: ER (engagement) and Forwards. Preferably, the ER should be at least 10-15. In a channel with 100k users, you can aim for at least 100 forwards; if it's 500, that's excellent.

Here's an example of good statistics for advertising purchase. A total of 147k subscribers, with a monthly growth of 23.5k, and weekly growth of 3.6k. There's no plateau, showing steady growth. The audience is constantly refreshing. ER is 61%, meaning more than half of the subscribers actively interact with the channel and its content. Advertising is regularly sold and purchased in large batches.

If the channel provides contact information for advertising, write to the admins. If there's no contact information, don't waste time looking for it. Most likely, the channel owner doesn't deal with advertising.

In your message, ask about the possibility of placement in the near future and provide a link to your channel. If the request is approved, send the advertising post and a special link to track click-through statistics (this needs to be generated separately).

At first, it will be a bit difficult to navigate prices. Some sellers might significantly inflate them. However, with experience and knowledge of the market, it will become easier to negotiate and make final decisions.

### **How to Track Statistics?**

In Telegram, there's a possibility to create an unlimited number of invitation links equipped with a timer.

Therefore, separate links are created for each advertising channel. These should be immediately entered into the table. The amount spent on the purchase is divided by the number of new subscribers from the advertising post (or the channel as a whole). This way, you get the average cost per subscriber for each channel. Analyzing this information will help determine the feasibility of cooperation with various channels.


>An important point: Sometimes an admin might promise good click-throughs, but in reality, very few users clicked through. Another situation - the admin might have deleted the post earlier than the agreed time (accidentally or deliberately). In such cases, don't hesitate to write and demand a partial refund. You can also request a screenshot or forward a message through a bot about the post in the queue.

### **Final Advice**

Always create vertical content. Even if it's only related to your topic.

Liked the article? Head over to the <a href="https://affcommunity.org/en/blog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">AffCommunity blog</a> and read cool tips in the field of Affiliate marketing. The editors share only relevant information.

## **What's Next After You've Promoted Your Telegram?**

If you've managed to achieve a stable influx and retention of your target audience, successfully overcome several initial round numbers of subscribers, have a few viral reposted posts in reserve, it makes sense to return to the initial analysis and look again at your goals, content plan, and promotion strategy. You may want to refine something you formulated earlier based on your new experience.

Often at this stage, there may be a temptation to add additional monetization of subscribers by selling advertising posts or increasing advertising content for your own products and services. This can provide earnings in the moment, however, if you're aiming to work "for the long haul", it will be useful to dose the amount of advertising and build a loyal community of subscribers. An engaged and loyal audience will stay with you for a longer time and in the long run can give a greater response to advertising.

How to set up remote change of IP address through iProxy.online?

# How does the iProxy app change the IP address?

To change the IP address, the iProxy app switches the airplane mode on the phone. If the phone is connected to mobile internet via a SIM card, after switching airplane mode on the phone, the mobile operator assigns a new IP address to the subscriber. The eSIM format also works with iProxy.

Note: if the phone is only connected to WiFi, even if you switch airplane mode, the WiFi network IP will not change. IP address change works only with mobile internet enabled. However, WiFi can be used to save mobile traffic and use the <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/wifi-split" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">WiFi Split</a> option.

## How does the iProxy app remotely switch airplane mode on the phone?

There are 4 options for remote control of Android:

1. Using a **digital assistant**.
2. Working in Owner mode.
3. Through the MacroDroid app.
4. Rooting the phone.

### Digital Assistant

Setting up a digital assistant is available for most Android phones. This is the easiest way for remote IP change, used by our customers. We have compiled a list of recommended and non-recommended phones for iProxy in this <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/recommended-android-devices-for-iproxyonline" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">article</a>.
You don't need to root your phone or install additional apps. Just set up the iProxy digital assistant.

![iproxy_voice_assistant_english_a3fa286df3.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/iproxy_voice_assistant_english_a3fa286df3_6ec63a0f94.png)

**How to test IP change:**
Open the iProxy app. If there is a blue Change IP button in the app, the digital assistant is set up and the IP will be changed remotely. Click this button and you will see your phone enter and exit airplane mode, and the IP address will change.

On some models like **Xiaomi** and **Huawei**, the blue button may reset after the phone is restarted. To reset the digital assistant, switch to Google and then return to the iProxy assistant:

- in the iProxy app, click on the three dots in the top right corner
- click Change IP w/o ROOT - Open Voice Assistant settings
- (if iProxy is already selected as the assistant, switch to Google, and then select iProxy again)

### Working with Android in Owner mode

Owner mode allows the phone owner to have full control over the device and set many functions, such as remote IP change using the iProxy app.
This mode can be set up on phones with <u>factory settings</u> (new phones) that have <u>no Google accounts linked</u>.
Learn more about how to set up Owner mode on your phone <a href="https://iproxy.online/faq/technical-requirements-for-an-android-device#1841" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">here</a>.

### MacroDroid App

If the digital assistant is not available on the phone and the owner mode is not suitable, download and test the IP address change setting using the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid&hl=en_US" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">MacroDroid</a> app.
This app allows you to write macros (commands) that the phone can perform automatically.
Essentially, Macrodroid is used as a "Clicker" on the smartphone screen.

Open the app. Click on <Add Macro> - <Actions> and list the following commands in order:

- turn on the screen
- 2-second delay
- press Turn On Airplane Mode
- 2-second delay
- press Turn Off Airplane Mode
- 2-second delay
- turn off the screen

### Android with ROOT rights (rooted phones)

On rooted phones, you need to grant Superuser rights to the iProxy app to switch airplane mode remotely.

Not every phone can be rooted. Each phone model and each OS version must have special drivers (firmware) created. For most Android devices, such firmware does not exist, so you need to be very careful if you decide to root your phone. We do not recommend this method for users without rooting experience.

The iProxy team wrote its firmware for the Alcatel 5033d Android 8.0.1 model. You can watch the video tutorial at this <a href="https://youtu.be/rU3Yg3792HM?si=AgXmVuegZkwuBslH" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">link</a>.

## How to change the IP address remotely

There are several ways to change the IP address remotely without opening the iProxy app on your phone:
- URL for IP change
- automatic rotation
- from the personal account
- with a command in the Telegram bot
- using the API

## URL for IP change by link

In the personal account on the <a href="https://iproxy.online/app" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">iProxy.online</a> website, click on the connection name. In the opened window, select the IP Change menu and copy the URL.
This link can be used in any software you work with, for example, in the Dolphin antidetect browser.

![Url_to_change_ip_iproxy_00fc1dfa52.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/Url_to_change_ip_iproxy_00fc1dfa52_a72eb42b02.png)

## Automatic rotation

In the personal account on the <a href="https://iproxy.online/app" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">iProxy.online</a> website, click on the connection name. In the opened window, select the IP Change menu and specify the period for change in minutes.

![rotation_ip_iproxy_72e86054bc.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/rotation_ip_iproxy_72e86054bc_ded76f009c.png)

### From the personal account

In the personal account on the <a href="https://iproxy.online/app" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">iProxy.online</a> website, you will see the "Change IP" button next to each active connection.

![iproxy_change_ip_button_c2cf943206.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/iproxy_change_ip_button_c2cf943206_49d4e61739.png)

### Command in the Telegram bot

Authorize in our <a href="https://t.me/iproxy_online_bot" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Telegram bot</a> and use the /changeip {connection name} command to change the IP.
Detailed instructions on working with the bot are available in <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/telegram-bot-iproxy" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">our article</a>.
Video tutorial on setting up the Telegram bot: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0trziJqITzY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

### IP change via API

You can work in different environments and programs. Write to <a href="https://t.me/iproxyonline_support_english" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">iProxy support</a> to get the API documentation with a description of the supported commands.

### Additional information

The following mobile operators **do not change IP addresses** after switching airplane mode:
- Mobile operator **Life** - in Belarus
- Mobile operator **Active** - in Kazakhstan
- Mobile operator **Sunrise** - in Switzerland

List of mobile operators that change the IP address only if the phone stays in airplane mode for more than 30 seconds:
- Mobile operator "Tele2", "Altel" - in Kazakhstan
- Mobile operator "Tele2" - in Latvia
- Mobile operator "Tele2" - in Estonia

In this case, the iProxy team has prepared a solution. In the Connection settings under the PRO tab, set the required time for your phone to stay in airplane mode.

## What determines the speed through a proxy
- First of all, the speed through the proxy depends on the Internet speed of the Android device itself. If the phone’s speed is, for example, 3 Mbit, then getting 4 Mbit or 20 Mbit on the BigDaddy plan through the proxy is just impossible.
- The proxy speed depends on both the incoming and outgoing speed of the Android device. The incoming speed affects the download speed of the websites you visit, and the outgoing speed affects the speed at which data is sent from the phone to the iProxy server. Read more about the path traffic takes in our <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/traffic-path-from-android-to-program-with-proxy" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">article</a>. The proxy speed can’t exceed neither the outgoing nor the incoming speed of the Android device.
- Тheoretically, the speed through the proxy can be up to 2 times lower than the device’s minimum incoming or outgoing speed. This is due to the fact that the phone is loading websites and immediately sending data to the iProxy server. Practice shows that usually you’re forced to sacrifice 10-20% of the incoming or outgoing speed. We’re working on a solution that’ll lower that number as much as possible - stay tuned for updates on our <a href="https://t.me/iproxynews_en" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Telegram channel</a>.

## Your next steps
- Check your Android device’s incoming and outgoing speed.
- If the device’s speed is 10+ Mbit, while the proxy speed can’t get over 5 Mbit on the Baby plan, then you should switch to a different plan. You can do that in the <a href="https://iproxy.online/faq/tariffs-and-payment#165" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">connection settings</a>.

## How do I increase the speed on the phone itself?
- Change your mobile operator. Choose one that provides the best connection in the place where your Android device is.
- Move your phone to a different location.
- Get a new phone. The more expensive the phone, the better the connection. For example, an iPhone 11 Pro and an Alcatel 1 5033d in the same location and with the same mobile operator can give out 50 and 7 Mbit respectfully.

## You should be aware that
- There is a theory that the numbers mobile operators show during speed tests don’t correspond to reality. Sounds like a great marketing ploy. This may be another explanation of why during your speed tests you see a speed that clearly doesn’t match the time it takes websites to load through the proxy.
- When picking out a mobile operator for a proxy, choose one that assigns the device a new IP address when it exits Airplane mode. For example, In Russia, Sberbank Mobile, Rostelecom or Tinkov don’t always do that. Ative in Kazakhstan and A1 in Belarus also don’t assign new IP addresses.
- If you launch lots of mobile proxies from one location, best to choose multiple mobile operators. Each mobile operator has their own subnet, their own pool of IP addresses. This way your proxies will have access to a larger pool of IP addresses.

## General recommendations
- CPU: ARM Cortex-A53 is not recommended. Better to choose devices with 2Gb+ RAM.
- If you’re planning on buying a special phone to work with iProxy.online, DON’T pick Meizu since these models require you to perform extra steps when turning off energy-saving mode.
-  Practice shows that for Huawei and Honor models, you’ll likely have to toggle off energy-saving mode and enable Auto-starts/Auto-launches. Fiddle around with the settings and turn off anything that may potentially prevent iProxy and OpenVPN from running in the background. Here’s an example of how to disable power saving modes for Xiaomi models (without needing to mess around with too many settings):  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gTYDDcuHo" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Youtube video guide</a>.
- Huawei and Honor models are one of the most difficult to root. If you’re buying a new phone specifically for working with iProxy - choose phones we listed at the article’s beginning with rooting instructions. We recommend Alcatel 1 5033d Android 8.1.0 (one of the cheapest rootable phones. You can find a used model for around 1-2 thousand rub.), Lenovo Vibe k5 plus, Ulefone s10 pro, Oukitel с12 pro, etc.
- XiaoMi phones performed well enough, but there’s certain models that don’t work properly with proxies. If you ALREADY have a XiaoMi, install the app and test it out to see whether it works for you. If you’re still just planning to purchase a phone for working with proxies, don’t choose XiaoMi, since there are other phone brands that are much more likely to work properly with mobile proxies. 


## Additional information
- Honor 9S.  A user tried to root it on their own - didn’t work.

Guide for setting up mobile proxies in iProxy.online  

# Guide for setting up mobile proxies in iProxy. online. 

## What is iProxy.online?
**iProxy. online** is a mobile app for Android that allows you to make mobile proxies from your phone (or tablet). In other words, the TRAFFIC OF YOUR MOBILE PHONE will pass through the proxy. When you browse sites on the Internet, they detect which ip-addresses the visit is coming from. But if you use iProxy, the websites will see the mobile IP of the phone.

For example, iProxy is installed on a Smartphone that is connected to the mobile Internet via a sim card. The user connected to the proxy and went on Facebook. Facebook will see that the visit came from the phone's mobile IP address.

Almost every user faces the need to change their IP address. We at iProxy.online have prepared several ways to do just that: automatically after a specified period of time, by clicking a button in your personal account, by clicking on a link, through a command in a <a href="https://t.me/iproxy_online_bot" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Telegram bot</a>, via API.

 <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/telegram-bot-iproxy" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Read here all about </a> how our Telegram bot works and how to set it up.

**Please note that in order to change the IP address by turning on/off airplane mode, the phone MUST have access to MOBILE INTERNET (not Wi-Fi).**

## How can I change my IP address?

You change your IP address by toggling Airplane mode on your phone.

1. You can toggle Airplane mode manually (pick up the phone to turn Airplane mode on/off)
2. You can toggle Airplane mode remotely.

On root and non-root devices, setting up remote Airplane mode toggling can be done in different ways:

- for non-root devices, through the Macrodroid app
- for root devices, the iProxy app can toggle Airplane mode on its own 

**Please note that in order to change the IP address by turning on/off airplane mode, the phone MUST have access to MOBILE INTERNET (not Wi-Fi).**

> There are extremely rare cases when the IP does not change after toggling Airplane mode. If you come across such a situation, the following explanations are possible: 1) your mobile operator has an extremely small pool of ip-addresses (find a new mobile operator) 2) your mobile operator issued you an IP address you already had (the the UNIQUE IP function that’s available on the BigDaddy Pro plan).

### 1. Changing your IP address manually

Go to your phone’s web browser or any website that checks your current IP address. Next, toggle Airplane mode on and off. Refresh the page you checked your IP address on. Make sure you got a new IP address. Video guide:

### 3. Changing your IP address remotely

Ways to change your IP address remotely:

- Automatically after a specified period of time
- By clicking a button
- By following a link
- Through a command in a <a href="https://t.me/iproxy_online_bot" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Telegram bot</a>
- Via API

Learn more about each method in <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/Ways-to-change-your-IP-address-using-iProxy-online" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">our article</a>.


**Choose which IP changing method suits you best: someone can do it with the help of Voise Assistant, MacroDroid or manually, while others need a rooted phone.**

We recommend, if possible, to work from a Rooted Android device, since such phones allow for maximum automation and comfort of use.

**Root-rights** are Superuser rights that give iProxy the ability to access Settings and toggle Airplane mode.

By default, Superuser rights are not available on factory firmware (operating systems).

## How to encrease the speed of the proxy

Set up Wi-Fi Split option. Learn more in <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/wifi-split-eng" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">the article about Wi-Fi Split</a>.

<a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/how-to-increase-proxy-speed" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">This article</a> explains in detail what speed can depend on.

## How to obtain Root-rights?

Getting a phone with root rights is not very difficult. Based on our experience with our users, we have developed the following recommendations.

Getting a phone with root-rights is easy. Based on our user experience, we’ve developed the following recommendations.

1. Order verified rooted phones from us. We sell with no additional charge: we buy, root and send them to your door or pick-up point + you’ll need to cover shipping costs. We ship across THE CIS REGION. As well as to neighboring countries and beyond. **We also currently have a promotion:  up to +50% for your next account top-up, maximum 15$ per each phone you buy. That way we’ll partly cover your phone buying expenses**

2. Buy a new (or used) Alcatel 1 5033D Android 8.1.0 in any other store and set up root rights yourself. We’ve prepared a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU3Yg3792HM" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">video guide</a> using which you can root this specific phone model quickly and easily. 

3. Get any rooted phone from message boards. For example, if you enter “root” in <a href="https://www.avito.ru/moskva/telefony?q=root" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Avito’s</a> search bar, you’ll get offers selling phones with set-up root-rights, ask the seller to install iProxy and make sure the proxy and the remote IP address changing system works. <a href="https://t.me/iproxy_support" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Our tech support</a> is ready to provide sellers with test access, as well as check the performance of the phones in question.

4. If you already have an Android phone, show it to a specialist that knows how to root. We don’t recommend setting up root-rights on your own because this process may take a lot of time (and there’s no guarantee you’ll even perform it successfully). It’s better to pay someone else to do it and focus on your main job, don’t dabble with an activity you don’t specialize in. You can find rooting specialists on your city’s markets.

5. If you already have an Android phone and you consider yourself an experienced user, try setting up the root-rights on your own. There’s a separate guide for each phone model. Try to find instructions for your Android device on the <a href="https://4pda.ru" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">4dpa.ru</a> forum.

6. Take a look at an <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/recommended-android-devices-for-iproxyonline" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Article</a>, **in which we have compiled a list of verified phone models**, as well as posted **tested** instructions on how to root specific phones. Please note that **each** phone model has **its own rooting guide**, which is exactly why we can’t provide you with rooting guides for ALL existing phones. Over time, we update our Phone Models list as well as the instructions for rooting them.


Choose the method that suits YOU best!

We remind you that non-rooted (so just normal) phones SUPPORT PROXIES PERFECTLY FINE! Remote IP address change also works SMOOTHLY! Set up voice assistant to change IP address remotely. 

![iproxy_voice_assistant_english_a3fa286df3.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/iproxy_voice_assistant_english_a3fa286df3_6ec63a0f94.png)

**Confusion often arises when users (while creating a Connection) pick the server location thinking they’ll get a proxy from that GEO. We rent servers all over the world for convenience’s sake: since traffic flows through the servers, you need the shortest possible distance between your phone and Our Server for the best speed and Ping. The mobile proxy GEO will always = your Phone’s GEO (location).** Some users assume that they are getting American or German proxies for 6 USD./month. Such prices don’t exist. At the same time, if you actually are in the US or Germany (and, naturally, your phone is there with you), you’ll get American or German proxies for 6 (or 8) USD./month + tariff plan expenses (monthly payment to your mobile operator).

## How to get a discount of up to 20%?

Users who set up proxies on 10+ phones can get a discount.
To activate the discount, you get a personal promo code that is valid only for the user it was issued to.  Contact <a href="https://t.me/iproxy_support" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">Telegram support team</a> to receive it.

What is Wi-Fi Split? How to increase the speed and reduce traffic consumption.


What is Wi-Fi Split? How does it help to increase the speed and reduce traffic consumption?

# Terms

**End user** - the user who connects to the proxy (uses the proxy or <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/all-about-ovpn-config-udp-http3-quiq" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">.OVPN config</a>)

**Wi-Fi split** - an option in Android application iProxy, which allows to reduce traffic consumption by 2 times and can improve proxy speed.

**iProxy Relay Server** - intermediate server between the end user and Android-phone. The end user connects to the iProxy Relay Server, which, in its turn, connects to the traffic of Android-phone.

## How iProxy works

Websites are visited by the phone using the Mobile Internet, then content from the phone is sent to the iProxy Relay Server. The download speed of the Mobile Internet is responsible for the speed of loading the sites. The upload speed is responsible for the speed of sending data to the iProxy Server.

Learn more in the article <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/traffic-path-from-android-to-program-with-proxy" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">"The path of traffic"</a>

## How iProxy works without Wi-Fi Split

Traffic from the phone is sent by the Outgoing traffic of the Mobile Internet without Wi-Fi Split. If the download speed of the mobile internet is 20 Mbps and the upload speed is 3 Mbps, then websites are loading with the speed 20 Mbps, but the traffic is sending to the iProxy Relay Server with the speed 3 Mbps. Therefore, through the proxy, the Download and Upload speed will not be faster than 3 Mbps.
That is, the speed of the proxy is limited by the **minimum speed** of the Download and Upload speed of the mobile Internet.

## Double traffic consumption

As you can see from the principle of operation, the phone downloads sites at first(normal traffic consumption), then the traffic is sent to the Server (double traffic consumption is obtained). Thus, the traffic consumption is doubled from the usual amount if Wi-Fi Split is turned off.

## Observation from the practice with Wi-Fi Split disabled

There is a simultaneous load on the mobile operator without Wi-Fi Split even with a good Upload speed because the Download speed loads the sites and the Upload speed sends data to the server. Due to the simultaneous load, the speed of Download and Upload gets less, and, as a result, the speed through the proxy can be 10-20% less than on the phone.

##  How iProxy works with Wi-Fi Split enabled

The traffic from the phone is sent to the iProxy Relay Server with Wi-Fi Split option enabled via the home Wi-Fi, which is fast and unlimited all over the world.

## 2x data saving with Wi-Fi Split enabled

Due to the fact that the traffic is sent via Wi-Fi, and not via the mobile Internet, the SIM card retains the usual traffic consumption. Thus, there is no double consumption of the traffic. 

## Increase in the speed with Wi-Fi Split enabled

Wi-Fi Split noticeably improves the speed in cases where Upload mobile Internet speed is lower than Download.
Also, Wi-Fi Split improves the speed in cases where the Upload is approximately equal to the Download speed of the mobile Internet, since there is no simultaneous load on the mobile Internet. In cases where the Download speed of the mobile Internet is low, for example 1-2 Mbps, the speed also improves with Wi-Fi split enables, but in this example it will not be faster than 1-2 Mbps.

## Observation from the practice 

There IP-address of your Wi-Fi will never appear through the proxy. It is technically stated that when the Wi-Fi Split option is enabled, Wi-Fi traffic cannot be used to download sites. You can safely turn on Wi-Fi Split and be sure that traffic is transmitted reliably throughout the entire path. Thousands of iProxy users around the world have enabled Wi-Fi Split and successfully use it every day.
It is highly recommended to enable **Wi-Fi Split option**.

## How to set up Wi-Fi Split option? 
- Open "Settings" - "About phone” - click several times on “Build number" till "Developer options" opens.
- Open “Developer options” and enable the function “Mobile data always on". It may be called differently on the different models of Androin. Another name might be “Keep mobile network on when Wi-Fi is on”
- Switch the tariff to the  BigDaddy Pro on your iProxy.online dashboard
- Enable Wi-Fi on the phone
- Enable Wi-Fi Split option in iProxy app on Android
- The feature is set up. Connect to the proxy and check the speed.

How to choose the right location of the iProxy.online server   

How to choose the right location of the server? 

Regardless of the selected server, location of the proxy will be the same as location of the phone using with iProxy.online 

For example, the phone is located in Brazil, so Brazilian mobile proxies will be created. If the phone is located in Poland -  Polish mobile proxies will be created, etc.

The server should be chosen in such a way that the distance traffic goes from the phone to the iProxy server and from the server to the end proxy user is minimal. You can read more about the traffic path in our <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/traffic-path-from-android-to-program-with-proxy" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">article</a>.

# The ping of the proxy

The greater the physical distance, the greater the proxy ping will be. Ping is the time during which the server receives information from another device, in other words, it is the waiting time required to open the web page of the site.
If the phone and the proxy user are located in the same city, then you should select the server closest to this city. For example, a resident of Berlin should choose a server in Falkenstein.

There are lots of situations for proxy sellers when the phone is in one city and the end user is in another. In this case at least one of the path sections should be minimized.

## Examples 

For example, the phone is located in Kazakhstan, and the proxy will be used in Germany,  the server in Kazakhstan or Germany could be choosen. The ping result will be the same, since the traffic will go the same distance:
Phone is in Karaganda (within a radius of up to 500 km) - server is in Karaganda (within a radius of up to 50 km) - Client is in Frankfurt (4475 km from Karaganda). Total distance gone by traffic: 500 + 50 + 4475 = 5025 km
Phone is in Karaganda (within a radius of up to 500 km) - server is in Frankfurt (4475 km from Karaganda) - Client is in Frankfurt (within a radius of up to 50 km). Total distance gone by traffic: 500 + 4475 + 50 = 5025 km 

Please note, if you need a proxy from a country or city besides the one you’re in, you have two options: 

1) Select a trusted mobile proxy provider from our <a href="https://iproxy.online/blog/trustworthy-mobile-proxy-providers" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">catalog</a>.

2) Ask a friend who is currently in the target country to install our application and make you a proxy.

How to replace pOf in iProxy.online. The list of supported devices.

Replace passive OS fingerprint in mobile proxies iProxy.online

# What is Passive OS Fingerprint ?
 
**Passive OS Fingerprint** (TCP / IP Fingerprint, OS fingerprint, pOf) - a set of TCP/IP traffic parameters indirectly determining the user's operating system as well as the communication channel through which the internet connection is established. For a regular site user, the operating system of the computer and the Passive OS Fingerprint are usually the same.

The OS fingerprint you obtain by using the iProxy service is Linux Android. Despite the mismatch in fingerprints, services accept such mobile proxies, and some work better than usual, adding more trust.

```
{
"iprx_cta":"cta1",
"subtitle":"Need private and fast mobile proxies?",
"text":"Make mobile proxies right now!",
"bt_label":"Start free 48-hour trial"
}
```

## How does it work?

When a user connects to the Internet, the websites they access can request information through the browser about the device the visit was made from. The site can see the user's IP address, device operating system version, pOf, browser name and version, processor and GPU model, screen resolution, current battery level for laptops, tablets or phones, etc.
 
In order to make websites trust an online marketer working with multiple account more and establish the correspondence between their operating system and Passive OS Fingerprint, the iProxy team added a feature that lets you replace the service’s standard OS fingerprint.   

The following fingerprint options are available: 

- Win XP
- Mac OS
- Win 78
- Win 10
- Nintendo
- FreeBSD
- FreeBSD 9

## What devices does support the replace of pOf?
- Alcatel 1 5033d Android 8.1.0. Root by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jcf_tE9Bv8g&t=329s&ab_channel=iProxy.onlineENGLISH" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">iProxy</a>

## How to set up and replace pOf?

In the iProxy app, you need to install the Fingerprint feature, then select the fingerprint you want in your personal account. This feature works on BigDaddy Pro plan.

![iproxy_pof_setup_english_2_afb310d3a8.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/iproxy_pof_setup_english_2_afb310d3a8_6695df4ad0.png)

A few seconds after choosing a fingerprint, you can check to make sure it changed (for example, on <a href="https://proxyleak.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener referrer">https://proxyleak.com/</a>)

![macos_pof_iproxy_b4c933a9e7.png](https://iprx-cms-content.ams1.vultrobjects.com/macos_pof_iproxy_b4c933a9e7_4c4ba0ad1f.png)

Please note that when using the fingerprint substitution feature, the selected Useragent in the anti-detect browser must match the fingerprint.
