Many people fomo after grass became rich. If you really want to participate in the second phase of airdrop, it is recommended to read this article to teach you how to choose IP

Let me briefly tell you some basic knowledge about IP

There are two types of IPs on the market:

1. Residential IP

Residential IP generally refers to home broadband IP, which is called ISP in the industry.

Residential IP is the IP address used by users at home or other non-commercial locations.

For grass hanging, you need to use a residential IP

2. Computer room IP

The computer room IP refers to the IP address located in the Internet Data Center (IDC), which is usually provided by a professional network service provider.

Usually the quality of the computer room IP is not as good as the residential IP, but the computer room IP is cheaper. Many computer room IPs are of low quality and cannot be used to hang grass and dwan and some other projects. However, some computer room IPs are of relatively pure quality and can also be used to hang

3. How to check your current IP type

It is recommended to use this website. You only need to enter your IP address to detect IP quality, network service provider registration information and other data.

Link: ping0.cc

4. What is dual ISP and what is single ISP

ISP, as we mentioned earlier, is a residential IP provider.

Single ISP: There is only one Internet service provider providing the network connection. If the ISP fails, the entire network connection will be interrupted.

Dual ISP: Use two different ISPs to provide Internet connection

That is to say, the IP provided by dual ISPs is of better quality, with lower latency and less lag during network peak hours.

For example, I have a single ISP, only one network service provider

5. IP is also divided into native IP and broadcast IP

A native IP refers to an IP whose registered address is consistent with the country where the server room is located. Conversely, a non-native IP refers to an IP whose registered address is inconsistent with the location of the server room. In other words, this IP is often said to be broadcast.

For example, mine is a broadcast type IP, and you can see that the registration place is Lithuania 🇱🇹

Ideally, the quality of our grass IPs can be ranked like this:

Original house > Broadcast house > Original machine room > Broadcast machine room

Of course, we can also judge whether an IP is of good quality based on the risk control value provided by the ping0.cc website. The smaller the risk control value, the better the IP quality.

Another thing is to look at the ASN data. For example, mine has been provided with services by many ASNs, which is not very clean.
