IP territorial agent industry fire, the minimum 6 yuan can be changed, police uncle: be careful that privacy is stolen

With Weibo, Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu and other social platforms have opened the "show account IP territory" function, a large number of Internet celebrity bloggers instantly overturned.

Unable to turn off the feature proactively, some people had to "slip away" their usernames and profiles.

But the so-called Road height is one foot high, and it is only less than two weeks, and the service of paying to change the IP territory is on fire.

A minimum of $6 can be changed

According to media reports from all sides, as long as you casually go to various e-commerce platforms, including some second-hand trading desks, and enter keywords such as "IP agent" and "IP territorial change", you can search out a bunch of related services.

For example, in a certain fish, as long as the minimum 6 yuan can be experienced.

It's just that this price is the cheapest short-term replacement, and there are fewer locations that can be provided.

But now the platform has blocked the service for keywords.

In a treasure, you can also see some related services, and some can provide free tests.

For example, according to the reporter of Sanyan Finance, according to the test account provided by the merchant, it only takes a few simple steps to really change the IP territory of Douyin from Beijing to Guangdong.

After the one-hour experience is over, if you want to continue using it, you need to choose according to the various payment methods offered by the merchant.

For example, 5 yuan / day, 30 yuan / week, 90 yuan / month, 250 yuan / quarter, 800 yuan / year.

In addition to these platforms, relevant apps can also be searched in the app store, and they also provide services to modify the IP territory, and the fee seems to be slightly cheaper, ranging from 30 yuan / month, 78 yuan / quarter to 298 yuan / year.

The operation is also simpler, first register an account, and then select the IP territory you want to connect automatically.

Some people who don't want to pay can also find free tutorials online.

For some computer students, this matter is even more important.

However, in general, these paid services to modify the IP territory are also slightly exaggerated, such as the number of views of a fish-related baby is not more than 100, and the sales volume of a treasure is up to 1000, which also includes the data accumulated before.

However, from the Baidu search index, the data on related keywords has indeed shown an upward trend since Weibo implemented this function on April 28.

To say that the change principle of these paid services is even simpler, that is, from the original "direct Internet access" to first connect to the proxy server and then go online, the displayed IP territory will change from your native to the proxy server.

For some veteran gamers, this can be a no-stranger operation. When they want to play some of the game's "international service", they will choose an IP proxy to solve the problem of domestic IP connection game caton.

However, the relevant merchants on the e-commerce platform mentioned in the article basically only provide the function of domestic IP change.

Ping An Beijing Friendly Tip: Detention centers cannot access the Internet

With terms such as #IP agent industry explosion# quickly appearing on the hot search, this incident also attracted the attention of the police uncle.

Ping An Beijing posted that IP addresses are the only credentials that everyone needs to go online, and proxy IP services are also a good thing, but it is used to simply change IP addresses, but it is an important security function that plays the role of a firewall, especially high-quality proxy IP can also resist computer viruses, prevent hacker attacks, set different access rights, and so on.

However, many criminals use agent dynamic IP to change the IP address logged in different parts of the territory, and use various false server addresses to spread various rumors, commit fraud, involve pornography and gambling, and other illegal and criminal acts to evade the crackdown of the police.

In general, the service itself is not illegal, but if you use it to do something illegal, you will be prosecuted.

For example, last year, the Ministry of Public Security disclosed at the "Clean Net 2021" work results conference that it specially carried out governance for the key basic resources for the breeding of illegal and harmful information on the Internet, such as network television and "dynamic IP agents", and investigated and punished 146 illegal network television platforms in accordance with the law, shut down more than 13,000 illegal broadband lines, and more than 5,000 broadband Internet accounts.

According to the Modern Express, public security organs at all levels in Jiangsu cracked down on dynamic IP agents, promotion and drainage, code numbers, illegal payment and settlement, unblocking accounts and other prominent online gray production chaos last year, and also investigated and dealt with 403 related administrative cases and administratively detained 156 people.

Here, Ping An Beijing also kindly reminds:

The detention center actually does not allow the Internet...

Oh yes, and the most important point – don't say you just change your address and play without doing anything illegal, your private information is likely to be leaked in the process!

As the police uncle said: After using the black proxy IP, hackers and viruses invade your host and obtain your personal information and information is easier than eating.

One More Thing

The launch of open account territorial functions on various platforms to make Internet celebrities overturn is only "unintentional willow". Its original intention is to prevent some IP from maliciously taking rhythm and disrupting public order.

But just as the so-called "there are policies and countermeasures under the policy", the current situation in the eyes of some netizens, people who want to prevent may not be able to prevent.

How to solve this problem from the root has aroused everyone's thinking.

For example, some people have proposed that it is better to follow the ID card one person and one Internet number, the data can be managed by the public security, and whoever is rioting on the Internet will be handed over to the local police for handling.

But others said I just didn't want to show any private information.
