Datacenter IP: The IP from server IDC Datacenter. This IP comes from IDC datacenter, which is no longer a residential environment or mobile phone environment. It cannot simulate a real-life environment and is a complete server IP.
Positioning: Suitable for services with lower IP quality (weight) requirements, cannot represent real users, can only represent machines.
4. What is IPv6?
IPv6 - Lower Quality IP
IPv6: IPv6 is an upgraded IP address of IPv4, designed to solve the problem of insufficient global IPv4 addresses. However, many websites do not yet support IPv6. Currently, websites that support IPv6 include: WeChat, JD, Facebook, etc.
