Why does the same proxy ip display different ip addresses in different browsers or software

Proxy server configuration error: The IP address and port number of the proxy server may be misconfigured. If the proxy server address and port number entered are incorrect, the browser or operating system will not be able to connect to the proxy server correctly, resulting in the unchanged IP address.

Browser cache problem: Sometimes the browser cache may cause the IP address to appear unchanged. The browser may cache the previous network requests and responses, so that when you look at the IP address, you will see the cached results.

Operating system proxy settings are not effective: When configuring proxy settings at the operating system level, you may need to restart your browser or computer for the settings to take effect. If the setting does not take effect, the IP address will not change.

Wrong proxy type is used: different proxy types (HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS, etc.) are suitable for different scenarios. If you need to use HTTP proxy, but configured SOCKS proxy, the IP address may not change.

Proxy IP tunneling technology: the tunneling technology of proxy IP can improve the security and privacy of data transmission, but if the tunneling technology is not properly configured or applied, it may also lead to inconsistent IP display.

Interference from firewall or security software: Some firewalls or security software may prevent the proxy from connecting, thus making it impossible to access the Internet through the proxy.

Restrictions on target websites: Some websites will ban specific proxy IP, especially those IP addresses that frequently request the same resource. This may prevent you from accessing these websites through proxys.

In order to deal with the measures of banning the target website, proxy service providers and users have adopted various strategies. First of all, proxy service providers provide more unblocked proxy IPS for users to use by constantly updating and expanding the IP pool. An industry report shows that leading proxy service providers update IP addresses by more than 50% every month, effectively reducing the risk of IP being banned.

Secondly, users can reduce the possibility of triggering anti-crawler mechanism by setting reasonable access frequency and request interval. An experiment shows that the probability of being banned can be reduced to less than 10% by intelligently adjusting the access frequency.

Finally, some advanced users and enterprises adopt more complex technical means, such as the combination of residential proxys or data center proxys, and dynamic IP rotation technology to simulate the access behavior of real users and reduce the risk of being banned.

To ensure the correctness of the proxy server configuration, users should first verify the IP address and port number of the proxy server. According to a survey of proxy server connection failure, about 35% of the failure cases are caused by configuration errors. Users can obtain correct configuration information by visiting the official website of the proxy server provider or contacting technical support. In addition, users should also check whether the proxy server responds to the ping command to verify network connectivity.

Browser caching may cause the displayed IP address to be inconsistent with the actual proxy IP. Users should clear the browser cache regularly, especially after changing proxy servers or changing proxy settings. An experiment shows that after clearing the cache, the probability of correctly displaying the proxy IP increases by 20%. Users can access the option of clearing the cache through the settings menu of the browser, and some browsers such as Chrome and Firefox also provide shortcuts to clear the cache quickly.

Restarting the browser or computer is an effective means to ensure that the proxy settings take effect. According to a survey on system proxy settings, after the restart, the effective ratio of proxy settings increased from 45% to 85%. Restart operation can clear the cache of system and application, and ensure that the new proxy settings are loaded and applied correctly.

Users should confirm whether the proxy type used is suitable for their usage scenarios. For example, HTTP proxy is suitable for ordinary web browsing, while SOCKS proxy is suitable for data transmission that requires higher security level. A network traffic analysis shows that the success rate of data transmission has increased by 15% after the correct choice of proxy type. Users can find the recommended proxy type in the document or setting interface of the proxy server.

Firewall or security software may prevent the proxy from connecting. Users should check the firewall rules to ensure that the IP address and port of the proxy server are not blocked. In addition, users should also check the settings of security software to confirm that it will not interfere with proxy traffic. A survey on enterprise network shows that the success rate of proxy connection has increased by 30% after adjusting firewall and security software settings.

If the problem still exists, users can try to test with other proxy IP. This can help users determine whether the problem is related to a specific proxy IP. According to a user feedback survey, after replacing the proxy IP, about 50% users successfully solved the problem of inconsistent IP display. Users can obtain a new proxy IP through a proxy service provider or try to use a different proxy service.

If none of the above steps can solve the problem, users should consider contacting an proxy service provider for help. The provider may provide professional technical support to help users diagnose problems and provide solutions. According to a survey on the satisfaction of agency service, more than 80% users said that their problems were effectively solved after contacting the service provider.
