Newbie question about proxies

Hi,

I am in the UK and I log into a specific website which is completely limited to UK. This means that if I go to a different country and try to log in into an account on this website, the account will be deleted, which I obviously don't want to happen.

I am going abroad for a week and I will need to log in to an account on this website, so I need a proxy from the country I am going to in order to log into an account on that website.

My question is: what kind of proxy should I buy to set up on my phone to be able to do this?

I am a total newbie as it comes to proxy, as you can see, so please if anyone could explain this all to me in very simple words, I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Residential Proxy: This type of proxy uses real residential IP addresses. It's provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and is associated with a physical location. This is the most reliable and undetectable proxy type because it appears to websites as a real residential user. It's a great option for your case, but it's usually more expensive.

Datacenter Proxy: These are not associated with an ISP, but with a secondary corporation, typically a cloud service. These proxies offer higher speed and are cheaper, but they're also easier to detect and may not work if the website has robust security measures.

I would recommend a residential proxy because they're more reliable and difficult to detect. You could use providers like BrightData (formerly Luminati) or Smartproxy that offer reliable residential proxies.

Honestly, whichever proxies can give you 100% residential IPs is what you'll want. It's not worth risking permanent deletion with options as unreliable as, say, VPNs and such.

4g/5g mobile proxy or residential proxy will do

Guys,

Thank you so much for all the answers and details.

So, to sum up, if I understand it well, the solution to my problem is to buy a UK residential proxy, set it up in my mobile and when I go abroad and log in from my phone to my desired website, I will be seen as still residing in the UK, is that right?

the most trusted proxies are 4g but they can be a little pricey

Since you'll be traveling and need to maintain a UK-based IP, you'll want to use a mobile or residential proxy. These proxies mimic real user behavior and are less likely to be detected. Safe travels!
