UK proxies - SOCKS5 and UDP IPs on British networks
A UK proxy exits on a British network, so sterling pricing, UK stock and UK-only content resolve the way they do for a local visitor. Every British address here runs SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and HTTPS, with UDP on all types except mobile, and remote DNS throughout.
Pool as of August 2026. Current counts are in your account.
Key takeaways
- 1,500+ addresses on 11 British networks, spread across 16 cities.
- Judge this pool by how many networks stand behind it, not by how many cities it lists. Eleven carriers for 1,500 addresses is a healthy ratio.
- Per-city volumes are small. Plan British work at country level and treat a named city as a bonus rather than a guarantee.
- UDP is available on residential, ISP and datacenter addresses, which is unusual for a pool this size.
- Ports run 24 hours with auto-renewal, and you can set your own SOCKS5 credentials so an address stays yours.
What an UK proxy changes
What happens between your tool and a British exit.
- Your tool authenticates to the NSOCKS endpoint with your SOCKS5 credentials.
- The request leaves on a British consumer network.
- The service responds in UK terms: sterling pricing, VAT included, domestic delivery and any content restricted to the UK.
- The port belongs to you for 24 hours, renewable automatically.
Protocols and types available in United Kingdom
All four types exist in the United Kingdom pool. The practical difference is the kind of network the address sits on and whether UDP is on the table.
| Type | Protocols | Network | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | SOCKS4SOCKS5HTTPSUDP | Home ISP | Public data collection, verification, search tracking |
| Mobile (4G/5G) | SOCKS4SOCKS5HTTPSUDP | Mobile carrier | Apps, mobile search results, carrier-sensitive targets |
| ISP / static | SOCKS4SOCKS5HTTPSUDP | Consumer ISP, hosted | Sessions where the address must not change |
| Datacenter | SOCKS4SOCKS5HTTPSUDP | Data center | Throughput-heavy jobs on public data |
A struck-through UDP means the protocol is unavailable on that type. Mobile operators place subscribers behind carrier-grade NAT, which rules UDP out there and nowhere else.
How deep the UK pool goes
Worth stating plainly: what carries this pool is the number of networks behind it. Sixteen British cities appear, and even the biggest of them is a two-figure pool.

The 1,500+ British addresses sit on 11 ISPs and mobile carriers, taking in the large consumer networks and several smaller ones. Judge this pool by that number and not by the city list. Which network holds what is visible in your account once you register.
Jobs that need an UK exit
National-level collection
British commerce is priced nationally far more often than American commerce is priced regionally, which makes a single UK exit representative rather than a sample of one city.
Protocol work
UDP on a British address covers latency measurement, datagram tools and anything that never speaks to a web server. Most UK-focused pools offer HTTP and nothing beyond it.
Campaign checks
Verify that advertising bought for Britain actually ran with the British creative and sterling prices, and that nobody arriving from a UK address was pushed to an international page instead.
Your own site, from the UK
Prices shown in pounds with VAT already included, realistic delivery estimates and a consent banner that behaves the way the ICO expects, all checked from the kind of address a British customer would arrive on.
Buying an UK proxy step by step
- Register and top up the balance. No email is required.
- Open the proxy list and filter by United Kingdom, then by city, connection type and proxy score.
- Set your own SOCKS5 login and password in your profile before you buy, so the port is protected from the first minute.
- Buy the port, plug the address into your tool, and confirm the exit. Switch on auto-renewal if the job runs past 24 hours.

Does the UK pool support UDP?
Yes, on residential, ISP and datacenter addresses. Mobile addresses run SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and HTTPS only, because mobile operators place subscribers behind carrier-grade NAT. Remote DNS works on every type.
How many British addresses are there?
Over 1,500 as of August 2026, on 11 networks across 16 cities. Devices come and go throughout the day, so the value here is deliberately understated and your account holds the one to work from.
Can I target London specifically?
London is in the pool, but the honest answer is that British per-city volumes run to tens of addresses rather than hundreds. For a spot check it is fine. For a job that has to hold a London address for days, check availability first, and expect country-level targeting to be the more dependable option.
Why is the British pool smaller than the German one?
Because a pool is limited by the devices actually reachable on those networks, not by how much demand there is. Publishing the true figure is more useful than inflating it, and it is the same reason no per-city numbers appear on this page.
Can one British address run for several days?
Yes. The port lasts 24 hours and auto-renewal repurchases it at the end of each period, so the address carries over. If it is offline at that moment, renewal waits until it returns.
Which type should I pick for UK work?
Residential for research across many requests, ISP or static for an account that must keep one address, mobile for anything aimed at mobile British traffic.
