Knowing how to track an IP address is an excellent way to find someone’s location and ultimately – identity – through the internet. That is precisely why learning how to find and track an IP address, as well as stop others from seeing yours, is an integral part of protecting your online privacy and security.

Companies are constantly gathering information about your online activities in order to advertise more efficiently, while governments collect information about everyone under the excuse of maintaining national security.

It is more than obvious that the internet has become an integral part of our daily lives. Free public Wi-Fi and mobile internet are almost everywhere. We greatly rely on the world wide web to text each other, send and receive emails, post about our life on social media networks, shop for clothes or order food, search for information, and so on.

Unfortunately, some of us are too casual and careless about managing our personal data and activities online.

There is a set rule in life – if you want to have or do something special, you need to use a trick or tool that gives you an edge over everyone else. This trick or tool is like a sword in the stone reserved only for the chosen ones, just like in the legend of Excalibur.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, in today’s world, most tricks and tools can be bought. If your goal is to cop limited-edition sneakers, the tool that you will need to use is a reliable sneaker bot. These bots cost money but they allow you to cop the finest limited-edition shoes and stay ahead of the competition.

As proxy servers are becoming more and more popular, there is an increasing number of people wondering about their purpose.

“A proxy server is used for which of the following: web surfing, domain hosting, or some other purpose?”

A long time ago, to better describe the concept of a proxy server in our article, we told a story. It was about a lawyer representing a person in court in order for the person to appear more legitimate before the judge.

If you are into web scraping for valuable data, you probably know that the biggest mistake you can make is not to use a proxy server at all.

However, there are quite a few other serious mistakes that can turn your scraping session into a failure. Below are listed the most common mistakes when using proxies for Google scraping.

IP AUTHENTICATED PROXIES – WHITELISTED IPS

Ever since the day it was created, the internet has been somewhat a controversial and paradoxical phenomenon. At its core, it is supposed to be a democratic concept, enabling freedom of thought and speech as well as equality among people from different parts of the world.

However, as this world is far from ideal, the world wide web takes on some of its features. Namely, an increasing number of people across the globe are not able to use the internet freely, so human equality remains a theoretical concept, even in this virtual realm.

Did you know that, since 2013, almost 25% of global internet users have accessed the web through a VPN each month?

In other words, a quarter of all the people browsing the web around the world find that their ISPs simply don’t (or can’t) offer the best internet experience.

Instead, for one reason or another, users turn to virtual private networks in order to get the most out of what the internet is supposed to be in the first place – a world wide web promoting democracy, equality, and freedom of choice.

Recently we teamed up with our partner Multilogin, a browser fingerprinting software which allows users to scrape websites while controlling the fingerprints they leave, for an educational webinar. Multilogin has integrated GeoSurf to work with their platform, allowing its users to automatically create fingerprints according to proxy location together with other profile guidelines set by their clients. They have developed a great tool for web scraping companies and it is used by thousands of customers worldwide.

Over the past decade, digital advertising has taken over as one of the main communications and revenue channels of companies to target their ideal clientele. With that, various ways of manipulating and confusing data came to the fore which created a demand for tools to track and decipher digital advertisements correctly.

Every click we make on every web page leaves a digital footprint, and this information can be either beneficial or detrimental to advertisers (and publishers), depending on how correct the data is.

This year was a speed train of interesting and exciting growth opportunities for GeoSurf.

We have added many new features and tools to make your journey with us smooth and successful and we hope you have enjoyed the developments.

At GeoSurf, we want to make life as easy as possible for our clients, so we have created a series of helpful videos for you. Here we feature an overview of the Manage Your IPs section.

After logging in to your GeoSurf account, you will notice your navigation panel to the left of the dashboard.
