Service eligibility and regional restrictions
PuppyIP serves only compliant overseas businesses and their authorized personnel. Proxy services are not available in mainland China. The service may only be used for lawful business activities outside mainland China. Use of this service within mainland China is prohibited.
Hosting a proxy IP or server overseas does not change these restrictions. The service must not be provided to end users in mainland China through relaying, forwarding, sharing or resale. Before use, read the Terms of Service.
Key Takeaways
- The local computer handles remote operation, while the overseas relay environment hosts the workflow.
- Configuring the proxy in the overseas environment generally makes stability easier to control than a direct local connection.
- A relay environment and a proxy are different layers working together, not alternatives to each other.
Step 1: Separate the three layers
The first layer is your local computer or phone, used for remote management. The second is an overseas relay environment, such as an overseas server or remote workstation. The third is the static residential proxy, which provides a fixed exit closer to the target region.
Many connection problems come from confusing these layers. A proxy does not automatically eliminate all local-network problems; it is better suited to use within a stable overseas environment.
Step 2: Make the relay environment stable first
When choosing a relay environment, consider region, latency, operating system, bandwidth and ability to stay online. If the relay itself frequently disconnects, even a good proxy will be affected.
For account-related work, use a fixed overseas workstation or group of workstations to reduce environment changes caused by members working directly from different local networks.
Step 3: Configure the proxy exit
Once the relay environment is ready, configure the proxy delivered by PuppyIP in the browser environment, proxy client or business tool. Check IP, DNS, time zone and connectivity before signing in to important accounts.
If you need a fixed proxy entry point, visit the PuppyIP website. After purchase, follow the usage tutorials to complete setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need a proxy if I have a VPS?
It depends on the use case. A VPS provides an overseas working environment, while a static residential proxy provides a network exit more suited to long-term accounts. They solve different problems.
Does a relay environment need powerful hardware?
Not necessarily. Account maintenance, browser sign-in and lightweight tools generally depend more on stable availability, an appropriate region and network quality.
