Inside the United Kingdom address pool

Every United Kingdom address in this pool belongs to a real subscriber line on BT, Sky Broadband, Virgin Media, EE and TalkTalk. That distinction decides most outcomes: a hosting ASN is recognisable on sight, while a London household connection is indistinguishable from the traffic a United Kingdom site expects all day.

Cities you can pin a session to

City-level targeting covers London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and Leeds. It matters here because Argos stock is per-store and resolved from the visitor's location, so a London IP and a Glasgow IP return different availability. A request leaving London and one leaving Leeds are not interchangeable when you are recording prices or stock.

Carrier-level selection

Long-running jobs can stay on one network. Detection that looks at the ASN as well as the IP reads a consistent BT line as a household; the same job bouncing across TalkTalk and back reads as infrastructure.

Typical United Kingdom workloads

Most United Kingdom jobs fall into three groups: harvesting prices and availability from Amazon.co.uk, Argos and eBay UK, verifying that campaigns actually appear to United Kingdom users, and regression-testing regional behaviour. The failure mode is identical in each case — you receive plausible data that describes a market you are not in.

Session behaviour on United Kingdom traffic

Use rotating when pages are independent and volume is the point. Use sticky when the site remembers you between requests: anything with a cart, a filter chain or a login breaks if the GB address moves halfway through. Both modes draw on the same United Kingdom pool, so switching never changes your geography.

Connecting to a United Kingdom endpoint

Connect over SOCKS5 or HTTP(S) with either username/password or IP whitelisting. The country is encoded in the credentials, so any client already talking SOCKS5 reaches United Kingdom without code changes.
