Recently, Weibo, Zhihu, Tiktok, Kwai, today's headlines, baijiahao, xiaohongshu and other network platforms have announced "open account IP territories", and users cannot take the initiative to close them. With the launch of the "IP territory" function, a large number of Internet users turned over. For example, for some overseas purchasing accounts, the IP ownership is in China; Some local online accounts have IP addresses thousands of miles away.
At the same time, a business is booming - paid IP proxy. That is, modify the IP territory.
Henan takes you around the world
Hunan takes you to eat, drink and have fun
Introduction to the renaming of a large number of online red big V
After the IP territorial function went online, cattle, ghosts and snakes appeared one after another. The IP territory of "XX in Tokyo" is displayed as Shanghai; "XX in the UK" IP territory is Guangdong; "XXX in the UK" IP territory is Tianjin.
Immediately, related topics rushed to hot search.
Among many bloggers who claim to be abroad, due to the high frequency of IP territorial display in Henan, netizens jokingly call "overseas information in Henan".
There are also many accounts of eating, drinking and fun all over the country, such as "Xi'an eating, drinking and fun", "Guangzhou life of Guangzhou people", "Chongqing eating and drinking life", "Shanghai eating, drinking and shopping life", and the IP territory is displayed as Hunan.
Later, some netizens found that some network big V began to quietly change the network name and profile.
For example, there is a blogger with 260000 fans on a social platform called "XXX in Japan". Its original profile was "settled in Japan all the year round, an old aunt of the post-90s, recording what she saw and heard. She is a straightforward person who doesn't like to grind, chirp and beat around the Bush".
After the IP ownership function went online, Netizens found that their IP ownership was Liaoning. She changed the net name to "full of vitality XXX" and deleted the sentence "settled in Japan all year round" in the profile.
Test:
Easily modify IP ownership
It's only five yuan a day
With the rollover of many online celebrities, the business of modifying IP arises spontaneously.
It is reported that "IP technology" is called "IP technology".
According to media reports, paid IP agents have formed a black and gray industrial chain. At present, on some e-commerce platforms, there have been paid IP proxy services, which have obvious purposes, and directly indicate the IP ownership of microblog and Tiktok can be changed.
Sanyan finance searched for the keyword "IP agent" on an e-commerce platform and found that it had been blocked. However, many related businesses can still be found by searching "static IP", "IP territorial change" and "modify IP".
After consulting several merchants, Sanyan finance and economics found a store that can modify the IP territory.
Under the guidance of store customer service, Sanyan finance conducted a modification test.
According to its operation steps, the author quickly completed the setting.
Before using this function, the author posted a comment on Tiktok that the IP address is Beijing. After opening this function, the author posted another comment. Only a minute later, the IP dependency became Guangdong.
In this store, testing and modifying the IP territory is free, and the effective time is one hour.
If you want to continue to use, the package standard for renewal is: 5 yuan / day, 30 yuan / week, 90 yuan / month, 250 yuan / quarter and 800 yuan / year.
The customer service of the store also said that the store has only domestic IP, no overseas IP, and does not support access to overseas software.
Sanyan finance tested another app, which is described as "network acceleration, static IP proxy".
Open this app, complete the registration, select an IP territory you want to display after entering, and then the connection will be completed automatically, which is extremely simple.
With the help of this app, the author has completed the rapid transfer of IP territory from Beijing to Liaoning.
The package fee of this app is 30 yuan / month, 78 yuan / quarter and 298 yuan / year. If automatic renewal is opened, there will be some discounts.
In fact, the principle of modifying IP territory is also very simple.
When a user's device normally accesses a website, the server of the website will detect the user's local IP and replace the IP through the IP proxy. The user's device is connected to the proxy server first, and then the proxy server will help the user access the website.
In this way, because it is transferred through the agent, the IP address detected by the visited website server is naturally the agent's IP address, not the user's own IP address.
Proxy IP server is crooked
Ping An Beijing voice: the detention center does not allow Internet access
The function of displaying IP territory is first launched by microblog.
The reason is that after the outbreak of the Russian Ukrainian war, a large number of netizens from unknown sources pretended to be in the geographical location of Ukraine and published a large number of rumors on the Internet. Then, at the request of relevant competent authorities, the microblog opened the IP territorial display function.
Subsequently, many network platforms announced the launch of IP territorial display function for similar reasons.
Wechat said that in order to further crack down on counterfeit handling, rumor spreading and other acts. Today's headline said that in order to maintain a real and orderly discussion atmosphere and reduce bad behaviors such as pretending to be parties to hot events, malicious rumor and rubbing traffic. Xiaohongshu said that in order to maintain a real and interactive community atmosphere and prevent local netizens from spreading rumors by posing as hot events.
From my personal point of view, I still support this function.
First of all, this function is displayed at the provincial level in China and at the national / regional level in foreign countries. It is not specific to a street or door number. Personally, this is not exaggerated to the point of violating privacy.
Secondly, if you don't want to make trouble and speak normally on the Internet, what's terrible about IP territory from domestic to provincial level and from abroad to national / regional level?
Obviously, the IP territorial display function touches the interests of some groups.
Nowadays, a large number of IP proxy services have emerged, and its purpose is even more obvious.
The Internet is not a place outside the law. It doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want without scruples when you "cover your face" online.
This afternoon, the official microblog "Ping An Beijing" of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau also made a voice for the emerging proxy IP services on the network.
Ping An Beijing said that the proxy IP server is actually a good thing, but the good classics are always missung. Many people in the IP proxy industry are crazy on the edge of breaking the law and committing crimes. According to Ping An Beijing, the main purpose of proxy IP is not to simply change the IP address, but an important security function, which plays the role of firewall. In particular, high-quality proxy IP is of great benefit to network security, such as resisting computer viruses, preventing hacker attacks, setting different access rights and so on.
However, many criminals use proxy dynamic IP to change the login IP addresses in different regions in China, spread all kinds of rumors with various false server addresses, implement various illegal and criminal acts such as fraud, pornography and gambling, and escape the police's attack.
Ping An Beijing said that last year, the Ministry of Public Security reported at the "net 2021" work effectiveness press conference that it specially carried out governance for the key basic resources breeding illegal and harmful information on the Internet, such as Internet TV and "dynamic IP agent", investigated and dealt with 146 illegal Internet TV platforms in accordance with the law, shut down more than 13000 illegal broadband lines and more than 5000 broadband Internet accounts.
Finally, Ping An Beijing also reminded some people that the detention center is actually not allowed to access the Internet
