UK Proxies: Residential and Static IPs

The UK stopped being an EU market for pricing purposes in 2021, and the data proves it: a British shopper sees pounds, 20% VAT baked into the displayed price, UK delivery windows and UK-only promotions. Scrape that catalogue from a Frankfurt exit and every one of those fields is wrong — not slightly wrong, structurally wrong. If your business touches the UK, you need a British exit, and it needs to look like a household, not a server.

What we hold in the UK

Over 314 UK static ISP addresses were in stock on 3 November 2026, sold per IP per month — the product for accounts and logins that must stay on one address. Alongside that, the residential pool covers the UK with city-level targeting, billed by traffic. Both are consumer ISP addresses, so an ASN lookup returns a broadband provider rather than a hosting company.

Pricing

Traffic does not expire, and upload plus download both count at 1 GB = 1000 MB. Datacenter traffic is billed by gigabyte, not per IP — but its ASN says hosting provider, which is the wrong signal for any UK retailer running bot detection.

Getting a British exit

# London, sticky for 30 minutes
curl -x "http://ACCOUNT-country-gb-city-london-sid-UK01-stime-30:PASSWORD@GATEWAY:PORT" \
     https://ipinfo.io/json

# Python: rotate across UK exits, one request per IP
import requests, uuid

def uk_proxy():
    user = "ACCOUNT-country-gb-sid-" + uuid.uuid4().hex[:12]
    p = "http://%s:PASSWORD@GATEWAY:PORT" % user
    return {"http": p, "https": p}

r = requests.get("https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/EXAMPLE", proxies=uk_proxy(), headers={
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 "
                  "(KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/131.0.0.0 Safari/537.36",
    "Accept-Language": "en-GB,en;q=0.9",
}, timeout=30)
print(r.status_code, len(r.text))

Where a UK exit changes the answer

UK versus EU exits, in practice

Setup in four steps

1. Create an account, open Proxy → Residential (traffic) or Static ISP (per IP).
2. Set country to gb; add a city where the pool supports it.
3. Confirm the exit with ipinfo.io/json — you want a UK city and a broadband ISP in org.
4. Run 200–500 requests against your real target, then decide between traffic and static IPs.

Responsible use

A UK exit changes where your request appears to come from; it does not change what you may lawfully collect. Respect the target's terms and robots directives, keep request rates humanly plausible, and do not use residential addresses for fraud or to evade a restriction already placed on you. Compliance is the operator's responsibility.
