EE proxies
EE is a mobile network operator in the United Kingdom. People who search for a EE proxy usually want an IP address that sits in a consumer or carrier network and not in a hosting company's range, so that public websites treat the request like an ordinary subscriber. This page explains what that means, what ProxyOnly can supply for the United Kingdom, and how to check an address before you rely on it.
ISP proxies are in stock for the United Kingdom right now, from US$3.00 per IP for 1 week. We sell them by country, so we cannot promise an address from EE in particular, and the page is honest about that below.

What is a EE proxy?
Every public IP address belongs to a network, and every network has an autonomous system number (ASN). When a website looks up your address it sees the ASN and the organisation behind it. For EE that is AS12576. A EE proxy is a proxy whose exit address belongs to that network, so the website sees a EE address and not a hosting company.
Mobile operators commonly place many subscribers behind shared addresses (carrier-grade NAT), so one public address can represent a lot of phones at once. Websites tend to be tolerant of traffic from these ranges because blocking one address would affect many real users.
Mobile networks are the most sensitive to location and device type, which is why teams that test mobile ads, apps and landing pages want addresses that belong to a mobile carrier.
In practice most buyers do not need one particular operator. They need an address that is registered in the right country and looks like consumer or carrier traffic. That is the reason ISP proxies exist: they sit on hardware in a datacenter but use addresses registered to an internet service provider. The distinction matters because some websites treat hosting ranges more strictly than consumer ranges.
EE ASN numbers
The table lists the main autonomous system numbers we associate with EE. Large operators announce several ASNs and acquire or reassign them over time, so use the list as a starting point and confirm with a public registry such as RIPEstat, ARIN or bgp.he.net before you depend on a number.
| ASN | Operator | Country | Network type |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS12576 | EE | United Kingdom | mobile network operator |
EE and the United Kingdom proxy types in stock
United Kingdom traffic leaves through the United Kingdom, so the catalog below is the live the United Kingdom stock. Each row is a proxy type, the number of package and duration options we currently list for it, the lowest price per IP, and the range of rental periods you can choose. The prices come straight from our catalog and change when stock or supplier pricing changes.
The cheapest option for the United Kingdom is Datacenter Proxy IPv6 at US$0.08 per IP for 3 days. Longer periods are usually cheaper per day, and most types let you rent a single IP, so you can start with one address and add more later.
You can combine types in the same account. A team might rent Datacenter Proxy IPv4 addresses for fast public-data work and add Datacenter Proxy IPv6 where a destination treats ISP-registered or less crowded addresses better.
| Proxy type | Package options | From (per IP) | Rental periods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Datacenter Proxy IPv4 | 13 | US$0.70 | 1 week to 12 months |
| Datacenter Proxy IPv4 Shared | 5 | US$0.20 | 1 week to 3 months |
| Datacenter Proxy IPv6 | 14 | US$0.08 | 3 days to 12 months |
| ISP Proxy | 8 | US$3.00 | 1 week to 12 months |
| Mobile Proxy | 24 | US$26.00 | 1 week to 12 months |
Can I choose EE exactly?
ProxyOnly sells proxies by country, not by operator. That means you can rent the United Kingdom addresses, including ISP proxies where they are in stock, but we do not promise that an address belongs to EE in particular. The suppliers behind the United Kingdom stock decide which ranges they hold.
If EE specifically matters, rent one address first, look up its ASN with a registry or lookup tool, and compare it with AS12576. If you need a guaranteed operator, contact us with your use case and we will tell you honestly whether we can supply it.
Why teams ask for EE addresses
Searches for EE proxies come from a handful of recurring needs. None of them require an address from one specific operator, but an address from a network like EE helps with all of them.
Matching real subscribers. A page that treats datacenter ranges differently from consumer or carrier ranges can only be checked fairly from an address that looks like a mobile network operator subscriber in the United Kingdom.
Local verification. Ads, prices, search results and app listings are often different for visitors in the United Kingdom. A the United Kingdom address registered to a well-known operator shows what a local customer of EE sees.
Stable identity. ISP proxies keep the same address for the rental period. That is helpful for tests that need a consistent address over days, such as checking a login flow you own or following a long support case.
Fewer surprises. Addresses from large, long-established operators are widely recognised by websites and databases, so their country and network labels are rarely wrong.
How to check that an address belongs to EE
Do not trust a label, check the address. After you receive a proxy, run it through the proxy tester on the ProxyOnly home page to see the exit IP and country. Then look the IP up in two different lookup tools and read the organisation and ASN fields.
- Copy the exit IP reported by the proxy tester.
- Look it up in a public ASN or IP lookup tool and note the ASN and organisation.
- Compare the ASN with AS12576 for EE.
- Check a second lookup tool, because geolocation and organisation data are not identical across databases.
- Repeat with a second address if the first does not match what you need.
What a proxy for United Kingdom is used for
Nobody needs a United Kingdom exit for its own sake. They need it to do something: check a page, test a flow, compare a price. These are the most common jobs for the United Kingdom proxies.
Localization and QA testing. Product teams use a the United Kingdom exit to test what a customer in United Kingdom actually experiences: the interface language, date and currency formats, the phone format (+44), cookie banners, payment options and any features switched on or off by country. Sticky sessions keep one address while a tester writes up a bug.
Market research on public data. Researchers read public pages the way a local visitor would: listings, directories, public review pages and government or company sites that vary by country. Using a the United Kingdom exit shows the version of the page meant for United Kingdom. Collect only what you are allowed to collect, respect robots rules and rate limits, and keep your own notes in your own tools.
App store and content availability. App stores, software downloads and media catalogues differ by country. A the United Kingdom address lets you check whether an app is listed for United Kingdom, which price and currency the store shows, and whether a public download or landing page is available there. It is a read-only check: you still need to follow the terms of the service you are testing.
Brand and reputation monitoring. Brand teams watch how a name appears on public pages in United Kingdom: local news sites, regional marketplaces, comparison pages and review sites. A the United Kingdom exit makes sure the pages you review are the ones local visitors get, in English, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic, rather than a version redirected for your own location.
Ad and landing page verification. Ads, offers and landing pages often change by country. With an exit in the United Kingdom a media buyer can see what a visitor in United Kingdom would see: the language (English, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic), the price in Pound (GBP), the local promotions and the pages that are blocked or redirected for other countries. That is the quickest way to catch a broken geo-targeting rule before it burns budget.

A proxy is a networking tool and it is lawful in most places, but what you do with it still has to be lawful and fair. Follow the laws that apply to you and to the place you send traffic to, read the terms of the sites you visit, honour robots rules and rate limits, and never use an address to access accounts or data that are not yours. ProxyOnly cannot give legal advice, and our acceptable use policy applies to every order.
In practice that means reading public pages, checking your own sites and ads, and testing your own products. If a task would be unwelcome to the site owner when done by hand, it is unwelcome when done through a proxy too.

Frequently asked questions
What is the ASN of EE?
The main autonomous system number we associate with EE is AS12576. Large operators announce several ASNs and change them over time, so confirm with a public registry before you rely on one.
Do you sell EE proxies?
We sell the United Kingdom proxies by country and do not guarantee a specific operator. ISP proxies are in stock for this country, so an address registered to a local ISP is likely, but test the ASN before you rely on it.
What is the difference between an ISP proxy and a datacenter proxy?
A datacenter proxy uses an address registered to a hosting company. An ISP proxy runs on datacenter hardware but uses an address registered to an internet service provider, so it looks more like consumer traffic. ISP proxies cost more and suit sites that are strict about hosting ranges.
Can I buy a proxy in United Kingdom?
Yes, you can rent the United Kingdom proxies from ProxyOnly. We currently list 5 proxy types for the United Kingdom: Datacenter Proxy IPv4, Datacenter Proxy IPv4 Shared, Datacenter Proxy IPv6, ISP Proxy, Mobile Proxy.
How much does a United Kingdom proxy cost?
Prices for the United Kingdom start at US$0.08 per IP for 3 days. The final price depends on the type, the number of IPs and the rental period, and longer periods work out cheaper per day. The order page shows the exact total before you pay.
Which proxy type should I use for United Kingdom?
For most public-data work Datacenter Proxy IPv4 is the practical default. If the site you are testing is strict about hosting ranges, try ISP Proxy instead. Rent one address first and check your success rate before you scale up.
Can I choose a city in the United Kingdom?
We sell by country, so the address is registered in the United Kingdom. Whether it resolves to United Kingdom depends on how the supplier registered it and on the geolocation database you check, so we do not guarantee a city. Rent one IP, test it, and ask us if you need city-level accuracy.
How do I check that my proxy really shows the United Kingdom?
Use the proxy tester on the ProxyOnly home page: it connects through your proxy and reports the exit IP, the country and the latency. You can also open any public IP lookup page through the proxy and compare the country with GB.
How do I pay and how fast is delivery?
You add funds to your balance in cryptocurrency, starting from one US dollar, and pay for each order from that balance. Orders are delivered to your dashboard with the host, port, username and password. Delivery time depends on the supplier for the type you choose.
