Ugandan IPs from real homes and SIM cards
Ugandan proxies on real home and office connections and the MTN, Airtel and Lyca Mobile networks. Our Uganda proxies work nationwide, and you can pin a session to the Central Region or to Kampala, with rotating or sticky sessions.
Buy a Uganda proxy online in minutes. Residential costs $3.50 for 1 GB and drops to $1.50/GB on larger plans, priced in US dollars per GB, not per IP. Unused bandwidth rolls over.
Choose your Uganda proxy type
Two ways to get a Ugandan IP
Rotating residential
Uganda residential proxies route you through real home and office connections on nine Ugandan ISPs, from CanalBox and Roke Telkom to Zuku and Airtel, so each Ugandan proxy server looks like a local household. Best for scraping, price monitoring and SERP tracking.
- Region, city, ZIP, ISP and ASN targeting
- New IP per request or sticky sessions
- OS fingerprint targeting (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android)
- Pay as you go from 1 GB
Rotating mobile
Uganda mobile proxy IPs on MTN, Airtel and Lyca Mobile, three of the country’s four national mobile operators. Best for social media, app testing and the strictest anti-bot systems.
- Region, city, ZIP, carrier and ASN targeting
- OS fingerprint targeting
- Rotate on demand or keep a sticky session
Need the same IP for weeks at a time? Static residential proxies are not offered in Uganda, and neither are datacenter proxies. To hold one Ugandan IP, use a sticky session on residential or mobile.
Uganda at a glance
Why a local IP changes what you see
Ugandan websites show Ugandan visitors a different internet. Search results on Google.co.ug, prices in shillings on Jumia Uganda and Jiji, airfares and the ads served on Ugandan news sites all depend on where a request comes from. A foreign server often gets an international version instead, sometimes with different prices, stock or rankings.
Online activity in Uganda is concentrated in and around the capital. The 2024 census found that 40.3% of people aged 10 and over in Kampala Capital City used the internet, against 8.9% nationally, and about 2.5 million people are in Kampala during the day. A Kampala or Central Region IP puts you where many of Uganda’s internet users actually are.
Uganda is also a phone-first market. Protected Ugandan sites and apps expect traffic from MTN or Airtel phones and flag data-centre IPs quickly, while a phone or home router on a local network looks like an ordinary Ugandan customer, because it is one.
| Fact | Figure | Why it matters for proxy work |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 45.9 million (May 2024 census); Kampala Capital City 1.8 million residents, 2.5 million in the daytime | About 700,000 more people are in Kampala by day than live there, so city targeting reaches the busiest local market. |
| Administrative units | 4 regions (Central, Eastern, Northern, Western); 135 districts and 11 cities | Our region targeting follows the four regions, not the districts: Central is selectable today. |
| Central Region | 13.0 million people, 28.3% of the population, including Kampala and Wakiso (3.4 million) | The region you can pin a session to covers the capital and neighbouring Wakiso. |
| Currency | Uganda shilling (UGX), issued by the Bank of Uganda | Ugandan shops and classifieds show prices in shillings, so they have to be read on the local version of a site. |
| Mobile networks | Four national operators: MTN Uganda, Airtel Uganda, Lyca Mobile and Uganda Telecommunications Corporation (UTel) | Three of the four are in our mobile pool, so you can pick the carrier your target audience uses. |
| Internet | 49.0 million active mobile subscriptions; 19.7 million mobile internet and about 286,000 fixed internet subscriptions (June 2026) | About 98.6% of internet subscriptions are mobile, so mobile IPs are ordinary traffic on Ugandan sites and apps. |

What our Uganda residential proxies actually reach
Read from the live API, not a brochure
Run a proxy Uganda-wide, or pin a session to the region, city and network your target cares about. Everything below comes from the same API our dashboard uses, and we list exactly what it returns for Uganda, nothing more.
1 of Uganda’s 4 regions: Central
Region targeting in Uganda works at the level of the four regions used by the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, not the 135 districts and 11 cities. The API returns one region today: Central, home to 28.3% of Ugandans. Eastern, Northern and Western are not selectable as regions; a country-level session draws on the whole Ugandan pool.
1 city: Kampala
The API returns one city for Uganda, the capital, and it can be targeted on its own. Other towns are not selectable as cities today, so if you need somewhere other than Kampala, use a country-level session.
Uganda mobile proxy carriers
Our mobile pool covers MTN Uganda, Airtel Uganda and Lyca Mobile. The Uganda Communications Commission lists Lyca Mobile under its operating company, Tangerine, and our API uses that company name. The fourth national operator, Uganda Telecommunications Corporation (UTel), is not in our mobile pool today and cannot be targeted.
Ugandan home and business ISPs
Residential IPs come from Airtel’s home and business internet and from fibre and wireless providers: CanalBox, Roke Telkom, Zuku (Wananchi Cable Uganda), Blue Crane Communications, Simba Fiber (Kampala Siti Cable), SimbaNET, Savanna Fibre and East African Broadband Services: 9 local networks in all.
Why the long tail matters. Fixed lines are rare in Uganda, and the home-internet market is split across many smaller fibre and wireless providers, most of them licensed to serve the Central Region around Kampala. A pool that mixes these ISPs with mobile networks looks like ordinary Ugandan households, not one easy-to-spot provider.
What teams use Ugandan proxies for
Common workloads on our Ugandan network
E-commerce price monitoring
Track prices, stock and delivery charges on Jumia Uganda exactly as Ugandan shoppers see them, in shillings, from a Kampala IP.
Classifieds & market data
Follow asking prices for phones, cars, electronics and rentals on Jiji, the way buyers in Kampala and the rest of Uganda see the listings.
Local SEO & SERP tracking
Check Google.co.ug rankings, map packs and ads from Kampala instead of from a server abroad, and compare them with what a country-level Ugandan IP returns.
Jobs, travel & ride-hailing
Follow hiring demand on BrighterMonday Uganda, fares on Uganda Airlines and ride prices on Bolt in Kampala, as local job seekers, travellers and riders see them.
Ad verification & localisation
Confirm that campaigns aimed at Uganda run on the placements you paid for, on news sites such as New Vision, and that your landing pages display correctly for Ugandan visitors.
Social media & app testing
Run Ugandan accounts and test apps from mobile IPs on MTN or Airtel, so sessions look like a local phone rather than a server.
Uganda proxy pricing
How much does a Uganda proxy cost? All prices in US dollars
Proxy prices in Uganda are the same as in every other country and are charged in US dollars per GB of traffic, not per IP. Residential proxies for Uganda cost $3.50 for 1 GB on Pay As You Go and fall to $1.50/GB on the 1,000 GB plan. Mobile starts at $4.50 for 1 GB and goes down to $2.00/GB. You can test the network first with a $1.97 trial.
As a rough guide, 1 GB covers around 500 full page loads of 2 MB each, or several thousand lighter requests if your scraper skips images and video. Region, city, ZIP, ISP, ASN and OS fingerprint targeting cost nothing extra, SOCKS5 is included, and unused bandwidth rolls over.
| Plan | Data | Price per GB | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pay As You Go | 1 GB | $3.50 | Buy | |
| Starter | 7 GB | $20 | Buy | |
| Hobby | 28 GB | $75 | Buy | |

Free Uganda proxy lists vs paid Ugandan proxies
Why a free proxy for Uganda rarely works
A free Uganda proxy list is easy to find, but most entries are open servers already abused by thousands of users. They go offline within hours and are blacklisted by the Ugandan shops, classifieds and apps you want to reach.
| Free Uganda proxy lists | ProxyEmpire Ugandan proxies | |
|---|---|---|
| IP source | Open or hijacked servers, mostly data centres | Real Ugandan homes and MTN, Airtel and Lyca Mobile SIM cards |
| Uptime | Minutes to hours before an IP disappears | Always-on pool, with rotating or sticky sessions |
| Blocks | Usually blacklisted on major Ugandan sites | Looks like an ordinary local visitor |
| Targeting | Country at best | Region, 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 |

Uganda proxy FAQ
Straight answers
What is a Ugandan proxy server (UG proxy)?
A Ugandan proxy server gives you a Uganda IP address, so websites treat you as a visitor from Uganda. Uganda residential proxies go one step further: they route your traffic through a real Ugandan household’s or office’s connection, on a network like CanalBox, Roke Telkom or Zuku, instead of a data centre, so they are far less likely to be flagged.
How much does a Uganda proxy cost?
A residential proxy for Uganda costs $3.50 for 1 GB on Pay As You Go and as little as $1.50/GB on the 1,000 GB plan. Mobile proxies cost $4.50 for 1 GB, down to $2.00/GB. Prices are per GB rather than per IP, the same worldwide, and a $1.97 trial lets you test first.
Can I pay for Uganda proxies in shillings?
Plans are priced and billed in US dollars; there is no shilling price list. You can pay by debit or credit card or PayPal through our payment partner Paddle, by bank transfer in US dollars through Paddle, with cryptocurrency, or by direct bank transfer in US dollars or euros arranged with our sales team (see payment methods). If your card is in shillings, your card issuer converts the dollar amount at its own rate.
Can I target specific Ugandan regions, cities or ISPs?
Partly. Today you can target one region, Central, and one city, Kampala, plus 9 Ugandan ISPs and three mobile carriers. Other regions and towns are reached with a country-level session. Residential and mobile proxies can also be targeted by ZIP code, ASN and OS fingerprint, at no extra charge.
Do you offer Ugandan mobile proxies?
Yes, on MTN, Airtel and Lyca Mobile, three of Uganda’s four national mobile operators; UTel is not in the pool. Mobile IPs are shared by many real subscribers, which makes them among the hardest IPs for websites to flag.
Do you offer static residential or datacenter proxies in Uganda?
Not at the moment. Static residential and datacenter IPs are not available in Uganda. To keep one Ugandan IP, use a sticky session.
Can I keep the same Ugandan IP?
Yes. Rotating residential and mobile proxies both support sticky sessions, which keep the same Ugandan IP across requests instead of switching on every request.
Which protocols and tools are supported?
HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, at the same price. Every Uganda proxy works with any scraper, headless or anti-detect browser and HTTP library, with no limit on concurrent sessions.
Why not use a free Uganda proxy?
Free proxies are slow, flagged on most major sites and often run by operators who log or resell your traffic. For work, a paid residential proxy is safer and far more reliable.
Is using a proxy in Uganda legal?
Proxies are a standard tool for price monitoring, SEO and ad verification. What matters is how you use them: respect websites’ terms of service, and follow Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019 whenever you collect personal data.
