Choose your Portugal proxy type
Three ways to get a Portuguese IP address
Rotating residential
A Portugal residential proxy on real home broadband, from Viana do Castelo to the Algarve and the islands. Best for scraping, price monitoring and SERP tracking.
- District, city, ZIP, ISP and ASN targeting
- New IP per request or sticky sessions
- OS fingerprint targeting (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android)
Rotating mobile
Portuguese mobile IPs on MEO, NOS and Vodafone, the three largest mobile networks. Best for social media and the strictest anti-bot systems.
- District, city, ZIP, carrier and ASN targeting
- OS fingerprint targeting
- Rotate on demand or keep a sticky session
Rotating datacenter
A fast, low-cost Portugal proxy server option on data centre IPs. Best for high-volume jobs on sites with light bot protection.
- Portugal country-level targeting
- New IP per request or sticky sessions
- Lowest cost per GB for bulk traffic
- Plans from 40 GB for $25
Need the same IP for weeks at a time? Static residential proxies are not offered in Portugal. The nearest static locations are Spain and France, or use sticky sessions to hold the same Portuguese IP on any of the three proxy types above.
Portugal at a glance
Why a local IP changes what you see
Google.pt results, prices at Worten and Continente, listings on OLX and Idealista and the ads shown to Portuguese users all depend on where a request comes from. Iberian retailers often run separate Portuguese and Spanish stores, and international sites serve European and Brazilian Portuguese versions, so the wrong IP can mean the wrong shop or language.
Portuguese sites also check the network type. Several big local shops and portals sit behind bot protection that flags data centre traffic straight away, while a MEO, NOS or Vodafone home connection looks like an ordinary local customer.
| Fact | Figure | Why it matters for proxy work |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 11.42 million (31 December 2025, estimate), 14% of them foreign nationals | A large international community, so the IP often decides which version of a site a visitor gets. |
| Districts and regions | 18 mainland districts plus two autonomous regions, the Azores and Madeira; 308 municipalities | Our region level follows this map, and all 20 can be targeted directly. |
| Language | Portuguese (European Portuguese); Mirandese is also officially recognised | A Portugal IP helps you see the pt-PT version of international sites instead of the Brazilian one. |
| Currency | Euro (since 1999; notes and coins since 2002) | Spain uses the euro too, so price gaps with Spanish stores come from local pricing, not exchange rates. |
| VAT | 23% standard rate on the mainland, 22% in Madeira, 16% in the Azores | Checkout totals can differ between Lisbon, Funchal and Ponta Delgada, and our island IPs let you check them. |
| EU and Schengen | EU member since 1 January 1986; Schengen since 1995 | EU rules apply, but prices, catalogues and delivery terms still differ from other member states. |
| Mobile networks | MEO 36.0%, NOS 31.1%, Vodafone 27.6%, DIGI/NOWO 3.3%, Lycamobile 2.0% (end of 2025) | MEO, NOS and Vodafone are in our mobile pool, together about 95% of active mobile accesses. |
| Fixed broadband | MEO 40.9%, NOS 33.3%, Vodafone 21.7%, DIGI/NOWO 3.3% (end of 2025) | All four groups are in our residential pool, together about 99% of the market. |

What our Portugal proxy coverage actually reaches
Read from the live API, not a brochure
Most providers list Portugal as a single checkbox. Here you can run a proxy Portugal-wide or pin a session to a district, town or network, using the same API our dashboard uses.
All 18 districts and both autonomous regions
The region level is the district (distrito) on the mainland, plus the Azores and Madeira. All 20 have at least one targetable town.
259 targetable locations
Many of the 259 are parishes and suburbs, such as Mem Martins and Carcavelos near Lisbon, Corroios south of the Tagus or Rio Tinto and Ermesinde near Porto, so we call them locations, not cities. The best-known, by part of the country:
Lisbon district
Setúbal district
Porto district
Minho and Trás-os-Montes
Centre
Alentejo and the Algarve
Azores and Madeira
The rest include Lisbon parishes such as Algés and Sacavém and small towns like Mogadouro, Aljezur and Velas on São Jorge. Coverage is densest in Lisbon district (close to 50 locations) and Porto district (34).
Mobile carriers
Portugal has four mobile networks. MEO, NOS and Vodafone are covered, together about 95% of active mobile accesses at the end of 2025. DIGI, the fourth network (launched in November 2024), is not in our mobile pool at the moment; its home broadband IPs are in the residential pool. The low-cost brands UZO, WOO and Amigo run on MEO, NOS and Vodafone.
Fixed-line ISPs
All four groups in ANACOM’s fixed broadband figures are covered: MEO, NOS (with NOS Açores and NOS Madeira), Vodafone and DIGI with NOWO, the cable operator it bought in 2024; together 99.2% of fixed broadband accesses at the end of 2025. Add Lazer Telecom, a local Algarve fibre provider, and Starlink satellite connections: 6 distinct Portuguese networks.
Why the network mix matters. Anti-bot systems look at which network a request comes from. Portuguese homes sit on a few big networks, so blending in means matching that mix, island networks included, not one provider or a data centre range.

Free Portugal proxy lists vs paid Portuguese proxies
Why free lists rarely work on Portuguese sites
Search for “proxy server Portugal” or a free Portugal proxy list and you will find plenty, but most entries are open data centre servers already scanned and abused by thousands of other users. They go offline within hours and are blacklisted by the Portuguese sites you want to reach.
| Free Portugal proxy lists | ProxyEmpire Portuguese proxies | |
|---|---|---|
| IP source | Open or hijacked servers, mostly data centres | Real Portuguese homes and MEO, NOS and Vodafone SIM cards |
| Uptime | Minutes to hours before an IP disappears | Always-on pool, with rotating or sticky sessions |
| Blocks | Usually blacklisted on major Portuguese sites | Looks like an ordinary local visitor |
| Targeting | Country at best | District, city, ZIP, ISP, ASN and OS fingerprint |
| Security | Unknown operator can log or alter your traffic | Authenticated access over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 |
| Cost | Free | From $1.50/GB, with a $1.97 trial |

Portugal proxy FAQ
Straight answers
What is a Portuguese proxy (Portugal proxy server)?
A Portuguese proxy, also called a Portugal proxy server or PT proxy, gives you a Portugal IP address so websites treat you as a local visitor. A Portugal residential proxy goes further: it routes your traffic through a real Portuguese household’s connection on a network like MEO, NOS or Vodafone, not a data centre, so it is far less likely to be blocked.
Can I target specific Portuguese cities, districts or ISPs?
Yes. You can target all 18 districts, the Azores and Madeira, and 259 locations, from Lisbon, Porto and Braga to Faro, Funchal and Ponta Delgada. ISP targeting covers MEO, NOS, Vodafone, DIGI, NOWO and Lazer Telecom. ZIP, ASN and OS fingerprint targeting are included too.
Do you offer Portuguese mobile proxies?
Yes. Rotating mobile proxies run on MEO, NOS and Vodafone, which together held about 95% of active mobile accesses at the end of 2025. DIGI’s mobile network is not in the pool at the moment. Mobile IPs are shared by many real subscribers, which makes them among the hardest traffic to block.
Do you have Portugal datacenter or static IPs?
Datacenter, yes: Portuguese datacenter IPs start at $25 for 40 GB and go down to $0.35/GB, targeted at country level. Static residential IPs are not offered in Portugal; use a sticky session instead, or static IPs in Spain or France.
Will a Portugal proxy show European Portuguese or Brazilian versions of a site?
Many sites pick the country version and offers from your IP and the language from your browser, so use a Portuguese IP with a pt-PT browser language. If you need the Brazilian version instead, use our Brazil proxies.
How much do Portugal proxies cost?
Rotating residential starts at $1.50/GB on larger plans, rotating mobile at $2.00/GB and rotating datacenter at $0.35/GB. Portuguese targeting is included at no extra charge, and you can start with a $1.97 trial.
Can I keep the same Portuguese IP?
Yes. Rotating residential, mobile and datacenter proxies all support sticky sessions, which hold the same Portuguese IP across requests instead of switching on every request.
Which protocols and tools are supported?
HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. The proxies work with any scraper, headless browser, anti-detect browser or HTTP library, and there is no limit on concurrent sessions.
Is there a free Portugal proxy server or list that works?
Rarely. Free Portugal proxy lists are unreliable: entries go offline within hours, many are not in Portugal at all, major Portuguese sites block them, and an unknown operator can log or resell your traffic. If you are not paying for the product, your data usually is the product.
Is using a proxy legal in Portugal?
Proxies themselves are legal in Portugal. What matters is how you use them: respect each site’s terms of service, and follow the GDPR and Portugal’s implementing law (Law 58/2019) when you collect personal data.
