How Premium Residential targeting works

How to connect to a UK proxy

Choose a route and generate a request example for cURL, Python or Node.js. The same gateway supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5.

From checkout to first request

  1. Choose a network

    Check plans and coverage for UK. Your credentials appear in the dashboard after checkout.

  2. Set the exit

    Pick GB in the dashboard generator or add countryCode-gb to your username. See the connection docs or integration guides.

  3. Confirm your exit IP

    Run the example against Databay’s IP checker to verify the exit IP, country and city.

  4. Test before scaling

    Try a scenario from the local guide on a site you have permission to test. Measure traffic per useful result before buying more.

Troubleshoot your first request
The exit is in another country
Reconnect with the UK setting checked. When two IP-lookup services disagree, keep both results: they use different databases.
The country matches, but the page looks the same
The site may pick its market from language, cookies, account or delivery address. Change those one at a time.
The page loads, but checkout asks for more
Address and account rules belong to the website. A proxy sets the network country, not the customer details.
The site refuses the request
Record the response and stop. Check the site’s terms before you continue.

Why teams use Databay

Network status
  • One price in every country

    UK costs the same per GB as every other location. No country tiers, no location add-ons.

  • One balance, one gateway

    Traffic is bought per network and spent anywhere that network reaches, through a single endpoint over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5.

  • Coverage checked, not assumed

    This page asks our coverage service which networks report UK exits each time it loads, and sells only those.

Billing, routing and support
  • No monthly minimum

    Start with one small order. Premium Residential pay-as-you-go traffic stays valid for 186 days.

  • Change country per request

    A different code in the username is a different exit country. No plan change and no support ticket.

  • People on support every day

    Email and live chat seven days a week, in English, French, Spanish and Russian.

Before you buy UK proxies

UK proxies are a strong input for British storefront, search and ad checks. Choose the product by how precise the location has to be: the whole UK, or one city or postcode area.

UK-wide sampling or one city?

Residential Flex covers country-level UK sampling at a flat $0.55/GB. When the job needs London, Manchester or one postcode area, Premium Residential targets one state, city, ZIP, coordinates or ASN per request where we have exits.

Compare Residential Flex for UK work

British search needs British settings, too

Google treats the query language, device language and location as separate inputs. Keep the query, browser profile and device fixed, test the UK exit first and an English-language setting second, and save the final URL and a sample of results from each run.

How Google picks result languages

Carry the postcode through the basket

Use the London, Scotland or Northern Ireland delivery scenario below where your site serves that address. Keep the basket fixed and record eligibility after postcode entry and the final GBP total. For multi-step journeys, a sticky session requests continuity for up to 1440 minutes on Premium Residential and Residential Flex where available. The IP can change before the window ends.

Plan a UK storefront check

What to test in the United Kingdom

Compare UK proxies with postcode-based checkout tests, British search settings, and clear paid-versus-free route guidance.

Answer the postcode-level question in checkout

For a UK delivery test, use the actual postcode category your product needs to serve, such as London, a Scottish destination, or Northern Ireland. Keep the basket fixed and capture eligibility after postcode entry. A UK country route cannot answer a postcode-level question by itself.

Keep British search and currency settings explicit

Set the UK market and British English interface before a local search or retail comparison. Record pound amounts with their currency code and retain original unit sizes. If you compare Ireland, change the market in a separate run so language similarity does not hide a different offer.

Choose a paid route or a public endpoint consciously

The free UK proxy list contains public endpoints and is a separate dataset from Databay's paid products. For a repeatable UK workflow, compare protocol support, current country availability, and session behavior before choosing a route. Neither an endpoint list nor a historical count promises destination acceptance.

Free UK proxies, measured

On (UTC), Databay's free-list checker recorded 20 public proxy endpoints labelled UK: 2 HTTP, 0 SOCKS4 and 1 SOCKS5. An endpoint may support more than one protocol. 19 of them could tunnel HTTPS.

About 80% hid the client address from the destination, about 90% passed the checker's Google test, and the median check took about 300 ms.

Leading networks in this record: AS205544 LEASEWEB-UK-LON-11 (5), AS9009 M247 (4) and AS15510 CWCS-PS CompuWeb Communications Services Ltd (2).

These relays belong to unknown operators. They can disappear between checks, read unencrypted traffic, or use addresses your destination already refuses. Keep them to low-stakes tests; for an authenticated, repeatable UK route, compare the networks reported above.

UK proxy FAQ

Pricing, targeting and connection details.

What is a UK proxy?

A UK proxy routes your request through an IP address in the United Kingdom, so a website answers as it would for a visitor there. Databay provides shared rotating pools, sold by the GB, through one gateway wherever the network has coverage. Use them only on sites and data you are allowed to access; the acceptable use policy applies to every plan.

Acceptable use policy

How do I buy UK proxies?

Pick a network on this page and pay by the GB with a card or crypto. Residential starts at $13.75 for 5 GB. Credentials appear in your dashboard within minutes. Then choose UK (country code GB) in the dashboard generator, or add countryCode-gb to the proxy username yourself. Any HTTP or SOCKS5 client works on gw.databay.co:8888.

How much do UK proxies cost?

Databay charges the same rate for each network in every country. The plans on this page show the networks reported in the United Kingdom. Across Databay, entry pricing is Residential from $13.75 for 5 GB ($2.75/GB, valid 186 days), Residential Flex at a flat $0.55/GB from 25 GB, Mobile from $17.75 for 5 GB and Datacenter from $12.50 for 10 GB. Residential falls to $0.90/GB at 1,024 GB.

Compare all plans

Which UK proxy type should I choose?

Choose from the networks reported above. Use Premium Residential for a home connection or city, ZIP code or ISP targeting where available. Residential Flex fits country-level collection at volume. Use Mobile to test phone networks, or Datacenter for sites that accept server IPs.

Compare the four networks

Can I target a city or region in the United Kingdom?

Yes, on Premium Residential. The location catalogue lists 764 cities, 5 regions and 288 postal codes in the United Kingdom (checked 11 November 2026), including London, Birmingham and Manchester. Name one selector per request, at the same per-GB rate; a narrower selector draws on a smaller pool. Residential Flex, Mobile and Datacenter place the exit by country or continent.

Premium Residential targeting

Can I keep the same UK IP?

A sticky session requests the same exit across connections: up to 1 day on Premium Residential and Residential Flex where available, or up to 120 minutes on Datacenter and Mobile. The IP can change before the window ends. Every product is a shared rotating pool, not a dedicated or static IP.

Do UK proxies support SOCKS5 and HTTPS?

Yes. Every network runs through one gateway, gw.databay.co:8888, over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, with username and password authentication. The country travels in the username, so the same credentials work in cURL, Python, Node.js, Scrapy, Playwright and any other proxy-aware client.

Generate a configuration

Will a UK IP change a website’s language or prices?

It sets the network country the website sees. Many sites also read browser language, cookies, account history and the delivery address, so set those to match the UK visitor you want to test. The scenarios on this page change one input at a time.

How do I check that the IP is really in the United Kingdom?

Send a request through the proxy to databay.com/what-is-my-ip/json. The reply names the exit IP, its country and its city. When two IP-lookup services disagree, keep both results: they use different databases.

What is my IP

How many IPs does Databay have in the United Kingdom?

We have seen 1,205,913 IP addresses in the United Kingdom. That is a historical total from the June 2026 catalogue snapshot: it shows how deep the network runs there, and it is not live inventory or addresses online at once. For what you can buy today, this page runs a live coverage check and lists the networks that report UK exits.

Is the free UK proxy list the same service?

No. The free list shows public endpoints our checker found, run by unknown operators, so they come and go. Paid Databay proxies are authenticated shared pools on our own gateway, with support 7 days a week. In our own tests, Scamalytics classified 97% of the free-list IPs we tested as proxies, against 6% of Premium Residential IPs. That is the Scamalytics proxy classification from our tests, separate from its fraud score, and results vary by IP and target.

Free UK proxy list

Can I try UK proxies before I buy?

Yes. The free trial runs on Residential Flex with country targeting, on the same gateway, so you can test UK wherever Residential Flex has exits. Try 1 GB of Residential Flex free for 7 days. We ask for a card, but you pay nothing during the trial. On day 7 we charge $13.75 for 25 GB of Residential Flex, or 10% less if you qualify for the first top-up discount. After that, we add another 25 GB for $13.75 each time your balance falls below 2.5 GB, up to 3 times a month, counting the day-7 charge. Data you don't use expires after 31 days, and that also triggers a top-up. Prices exclude VAT where it applies. To pay nothing, turn off automatic top-ups in Subscriptions before day 7; you can turn them off at any time.
