ProxyEmpire covers 41 European locations, including all 27 EU member states, with country, region, city, ZIP and ISP targeting on residential proxies. This hub lists every European country we cover with the proxy types available there, and links to each country’s page. For the rest of the world, see all proxy locations.

EU Proxy or European Proxy?
Not every European country is in the EUPeople often say “EU proxy” when they mean any European IP. The difference matters when content, prices or rules depend on EU membership.
- EU proxies: IPs in the 27 member states of the European Union. We cover all 27, from Austria to Sweden, with residential and mobile proxies in each.
- European proxies outside the EU: the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland are in Europe but not in the EU, as are the Western Balkan countries outside the EU, Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. Streaming catalogues, prices, VAT display and cookie banners can all differ between an EU and a non-EU country next door.
- The euro is not the EU either: Poland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Denmark and Romania use their own currencies, so an “EU” price check can come back in zloty or kronor.
Pick the country, not the continent: Europe is 41 different markets with their own languages, prices and search results.
Which Proxy Type Is Best for Europe?
Match the IP to the job| Proxy type | European coverage | Targeting | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotating residential | 41 locations | Country, region, city, ZIP, ISP, ASN at no extra cost | Scraping, price checks, SEO, ad verification |
| Rotating mobile | 40 locations | Country, region, city, carrier | Apps, mobile-first sites, social platforms |
| Datacenter | 24 locations | Country | Fast, low-cost tasks where IP type does not matter |
| Static residential | 13 countries | Country | Accounts and logins that need the same IP for weeks |
Static residential proxies are sold in Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. For other European countries, use a sticky session on rotating residential proxies, which keeps the same IP until you rotate it or the device behind it goes offline. Residential pricing starts at $3.50 per GB pay-as-you-go and falls to $1.50 per GB on larger plans, and unused bandwidth rolls over.
What European Proxies Are Used For
Local results in every market- Price and availability monitoring. Retailers and marketplaces price by country and currency. A proxy in each country shows the real local price, VAT included or not, and stock. See price monitoring.
- SEO and SERP tracking. Search results differ by country, language and city. European residential IPs show the real local ranking. See proxies for SEO.
- Ad verification. Check that campaigns run in the right country and language and that competitors’ ads appear as local users see them. See ad verification proxies.
- E-commerce and marketplace research. The same marketplace often runs separate storefronts for different European countries, each with its own catalogue and prices.
- Travel and hospitality data. Fares and hotel rates change by the visitor’s country. See travel fare aggregation.
- Testing localized sites and apps. Check language redirects, currency, consent banners and payment options for each market before launch.

GDPR and Local Rules
Collect public data responsiblyEuropean data protection law, above all the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its UK equivalent, applies to personal data about people in Europe regardless of where your servers are. When you collect data with European proxies, focus on non-personal public data such as prices, listings, rankings and ads; if personal data is involved, you need a lawful basis and appropriate safeguards. Website terms and local laws also apply in each country.
ProxyEmpire proxies are for lawful use. Banking, payment and government websites are blocked by default on all products.
