​Why is my proxy IP still blocked?

It is quite common to still get blocked after using a proxy IP. It is like changing your clothes to go to a party, but the host still recognizes it at a glance and refuses to let you in. There are several reasons behind this.

If this IP has been used by others to do some bad things before, such as sending spam emails and frequently crawling data, then this IP is likely to be marked. 

If you use such an IP, as soon as the website checks it, you will immediately know that "there is something wrong with this person", so you will be blocked.

Then, there is the act of requesting. Even if you change to a high-quality proxy IP, if you behave like a robot, such as frequently visiting the same page in a short period of time, the website will feel that something is "off" about you.

If the crawler tool or code you use forgets to simulate this information, or the simulation is not realistic enough, it will be like wearing a brand-name suit but forgetting to change shoes, and wearing slippers on your feet. Such flaws are easily discovered.

But even so, sometimes it is inevitable that it will be blocked. At this time, you have to change the IP and try again.
