How to Get a UK IP Address

That all depends on which VPN provider you choose. Some VPNs keep logs of your online activity, or don’t use strong encryption to protect your data. Look for a reliable VPN provider like PIA, with a proven no-logs policy and super-strong encryption.

Yes, but free VPNs may not be worth the money you save. Many of them limit your speed, causing annoying buffering. Some monitor what you get up to online, and sell your browsing data to advertisers. A few even contain malware.

Paid VPNs don’t have to cost the earth, and they are often worth paying for. PIA has reasonable prices, and in exchange you’ll get a ton of privacy features, some of the fastest VPN connections, and zero malware. You can also use PIA risk-free with our 30-day money-back guarantee, so there’s no downside to trying us out.

Yes, some proxy providers offer UK IP addresses, but proxies are usually less secure than a VPN. Few proxies encrypt your personal information, and the ones that do tend to use SSL, which is weaker than VPN encryption. Our VPN protects your entire device with powerful encryption — the same kind used by many governments and militaries to protect sensitive information.

Yes, you can watch BBC iPlayer with a UK IP address from PIA. Our UK VPN works with other popular broadcasters and streaming content providers too, like ITVX and Netflix UK.

Enjoy fewer interruptions when you watch BBC iPlayer with PIA VPN. Our dedicated streaming-optimized UK server lets you stream sports, movies, and anything else, free from buffering, lagging, and ISP throttling.

It’s easy to get a UK IP on your phone with PIA. Just download and install our VPN for Android or VPN for IOS from our website or your device’s app store, log in, and connect to one of our UK servers.

That depends on which VPN you use. PIA offers 3 VPN servers in 3 different UK cities: Manchester, London, and Southampton. Our network takes in a total of 154 cities around the world.
