Surf the web with an American IP address

With our forward proxy server in the United States, you can replace your IP address with our American IP address and surf the web as if you were physically in the United States. This will enable you to see the web as your clients and visitors in the United States see it. This is a good way to see what competitors are advertising and follow their links to their websites and landing pages. Please bear in mind that there are limits to the amount of data which can be transferred through the proxy server, depending on the bandwidth ordered.

What are forward proxy servers?

A forward proxy server is an intermediary computer server which sits between a computer accessing the internet, and the destination website this computer is trying to reach. In other words, the role of the forward proxy is to perform a task on behalf of another device – it is a gateway, accepting traffic and forwarding it through to another server.

Users can configure the proxy in their browser settings, and then all HTTP requests are routed via the proxy server.

When a user surfs the internet, many websites, especially search engines, will present different content depending on the user's country. The websites determine the user's country by detecting the user's IP address and might change the content presented based on that. In some cases, access to the website will be blocked altogether.

Accessing the internet through our proxy server in the United States will replace your IP address with our American IP, enabling you to surf the web as if you were physically in the United States. This will enable you to see the web as your clients and visitors in the United States see it. This is also a good way to see what competitors are advertising and follow their links to their websites and landing pages.

By not seeing the search engine results pages in every market you operate, you could be missing out on valuable marketing and business intelligence or you could be making decisions based on inaccurate information.

Our forward proxy server in the United States is a Linux HTTP proxy server which has been configured to allow secure sockets layer (SSL) content to pass through.

How it works

You will be given access to our forward proxy server in the United States. It can either be set up with a password or to only allow access from your IP. Every web browser supports proxy servers, as does most software. All you will need to know is how to configure your browser or software to use a proxy server, information which we can provide if required.

We continuously monitor our forward proxy server to ensure it is accessible and working as intended.

The cancellation notice for the server is 90 days.
