In today's data-driven era, data collection and analysis have become an indispensable part for many businesses and individuals. However, frequent data collection behavior can easily alert the target website, leading to restricted access or decreased data quality. To avoid these issues, using Socks5 proxy has become an effective solution, especially when the proxy IP address comes from a regular residential network, network traffic appears more natural and authentic, making it difficult for the target website to detect. This article will provide a detailed introduction on how to use the SockS5 proxy service provided by Cherry Proxy for data collection.

1、 Choose a Socks5 proxy service provider

When choosing a SockS5 proxy service provider, there are several key factors to consider:

1. Enterprise operation and complete qualifications: Choose a platform with formal operation and complete qualifications to ensure the stability and security of services.

2. Rich IP resources: An ideal proxy service provider should have a large number of IP resources, covering multiple regions and IP numbers, to meet different needs.

3. Support testing: Before purchasing services, testing can be conducted to ensure the quality and stability of the proxy.

Cherry Proxy is a proxy service provider that meets the above standards. It has over 80 million real residential IPs, covering 195 regions and ensuring 99.9% uptime. Cherry Proxy provides various types of proxy services, including rotating ISP proxy, unlimited residential proxy, and static residential proxy, to meet the needs of different users.

4、 Precautions
