United Kingdom proxies

The United Kingdom ranks #4 worldwide by the number of residential IPs in our pool.

There are 1,205 mobile addresses in the United Kingdom right now — for accounts, use a sticky-session port (10000–20000) per profile.

There are 13,785 datacenter addresses in the United Kingdom. They are cheaper ($0.80 per GB), but sites with strict checks block them more often.

Amazon.co.uk, eBay.co.uk and Google.co.uk: what only a UK address shows

British shops show prices in pounds sterling (£) with VAT already included, and they work out delivery to a UK postcode. For a visitor from another country, Amazon.co.uk, eBay.co.uk, Argos, Currys or Tesco may show different stock, different delivery times or redirect to an international version. If you sell in this market or track competitors' prices, you need to look from a UK IP.

Search works the same way. Google.co.uk shows a user in London local shops, maps and ads that are not visible from Kyiv or Warsaw. To track rankings in British results, or to check UK-targeted ads in Google and Facebook, the request has to come from a British network.

Typical tasks for a UK IP:

• price monitoring on Amazon.co.uk, eBay.co.uk, Argos and Currys;
• seller work on marketplaces and listings on Gumtree or Vinted;
• ad checks and affiliate marketing aimed at a British audience;
• Instagram, TikTok and Telegram accounts run for the UK;
• checking your own site: prices in pounds, the country selector, the cookie banner for British visitors.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland: when you need a city

The UK is made up of four nations, and local search differs between them. A shop in Glasgow, a delivery service in Cardiff or listings in Belfast show up first for local users. The country is enough for general price monitoring. For local tasks, switch the generator to advanced mode and add a city: USERNAME__cr.gb;city.london.

Write the city name in lowercase, without spaces or hyphens. Examples by nation:

• England — city.london, city.manchester, city.birmingham, city.leeds, city.bristol;
• Scotland — city.glasgow, city.edinburgh, city.aberdeen;
• Wales — city.cardiff, city.swansea;
• Northern Ireland — city.belfast.

In the generator's city list, London is also split into separate areas, such as city.croydon or city.islington. This is handy when you need to see delivery or ads for one specific part of the city.

EE, Vodafone UK, BT, Virgin Media or Sky: mobile or home network

In the UK the difference between mobile and home networks is easy to see. Mobile proxies give you addresses from 4G/LTE carriers, and many subscribers share each such address. That is why social networks block them less often, and they are a natural choice for Instagram and TikTok. The price is $2.50 per GB, details on the mobile proxies page.

Residential proxies are home broadband connections of British providers. Marketplaces see them as an ordinary shopper, so for Amazon.co.uk, eBay.co.uk and Argos they are the main option. The price is $1.59 per GB, see residential proxies.

In advanced mode you can also pick a specific network by ASN. Mobile: EE (12576) and Vodafone UK (25135). Home: BT (2856), Virgin Media (5089) and Sky (5607). Example: USERNAME__cr.gb;asn.5089 gives you Virgin Media addresses. This helps when an account has logged in through one network for years.

Datacenter (server) proxies cost $0.80 per GB. They suit scraping public pages and rank checks on Google.co.uk, but marketplaces with anti-bot protection recognise them as hosting. More on datacenter proxies.

A British profile: Europe/London, en-GB and date format

The UK has a single time zone, Europe/London, with a switch to summer time. In your antidetect browser, select this zone rather than a fixed UTC offset. The clock change in spring and autumn is then handled for you.

Set the browser language to en-GB, not en-US. It decides the date format: the British write the day before the month (31/12), not the other way round. British sites spell colour and organisation, and an en-GB profile matches them. An American language setting in a British profile is a small but visible mismatch.

Most antidetect browsers take the time zone and geolocation from the proxy on their own. Step-by-step guides exist for AdsPower, GoLogin, Kameleo and others in the guides section. Check what a site sees, including WebRTC, on the My IP page.

A new address for every request or one for the whole session

Rotation suits scraping Amazon.co.uk or Google.co.uk. The "Rotating (new IP per request)" mode gives you ports 823 (HTTP) and 824 (SOCKS5) on the host gw.prokso.com, and each request gets a different British address.

Accounts need stability. The "Sticky session" mode gives you ports 10000–20000: each port keeps its own IP, with a session duration from 1 to 120 minutes and 30 by default. Another way is to add a session number to the username in advanced mode. Then one IP stays for about 30 minutes even on ports 823/824.

Do not open a profile created on a British address from Germany or Ukraine the next day. Traffic is sold in gigabytes and never expires, so you can buy a little of several types and compare which one works better on your site.

How to buy United Kingdom proxies

To buy British proxy servers, create a plan, choose “United Kingdom” in the generator and pick HTTP or SOCKS5. Residential IPs in the United Kingdom cost $1.59 per GB, mobile $2.50 and datacenter $0.80; the price is the same for every country. Pay with crypto; the traffic you buy never expires.

Good to know for any country

• The pool is shared: another customer may have used an address before. The anonymity filter in pool settings removes IPs that sites already flag as proxy or VPN.
• The country is free. Traffic with precise geo (region, city, ZIP or ISP) is billed ×2: 1 GB of such traffic uses 2 GB of your plan, we add nothing.
• Availability in a specific city changes during the day. If there are no free addresses, remove the city or pick a neighbouring one.
• In a sticky session, the IP of a home or mobile device can change before the session expires — when the device goes offline.
• The proxies carry TCP only: messenger calls and online games don't work. Some sites are closed to all customers — see the blocked sites page.
