Targeting United Kingdom
Targeting rides in the username, so switching market needs no dashboard change and no second credential. Append the country code to your username:
# Anywhere in United Kingdom
curl -x http://USER-country-gb:PASS@gw-residential.node4.io:8082 https://api.ipify.org
# Over SOCKS5, same credential
curl --socks5-hostname USER-country-gb:PASS@gw-residential.node4.io:1082 https://api.ipify.org
# Hold one United Kingdom exit across requests (pick any letters and digits)
curl -x http://USER-country-gb-session-482913:PASS@gw-residential.node4.io:8082 \
https://api.ipify.orgRequesting a city with no exits is refused rather than silently redirected, so you never receive data from the wrong place believing it came from United Kingdom.

Why a United Kingdom residential IP
British retail runs on its own rails: Amazon.co.uk, Argos, Currys and the supermarket sites of Tesco and Sainsbury's all show UK-specific pricing, promotions and delivery slots. Property portals Rightmove and Zoopla, fashion retailers ASOS and Next, and BBC iPlayer's licensing rules are similarly bound to a British address. Observing any of this accurately requires a residential IP inside the United Kingdom.
What teams run through United Kingdom
Pricing teams follow the supermarket price-match battles between Tesco, Sainsbury's and Aldi, and track electricals across Currys, Argos and AO.com. Rank trackers query Google.co.uk for local packs that only resolve properly from a British IP. Ad-verification work covers one of Europe's largest digital ad markets, checking placements across major publishers and broadcasters' streaming services. Travel analysts watch British Airways, easyJet and Trainline fares, and brand-protection teams monitor eBay.co.uk and Vinted for counterfeit listings.
United Kingdom: coverage and targeting notes
London dominates, but Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow and Edinburgh are sizeable markets of their own, and grocery delivery slots, restaurant coverage and property data are all city-specific. Residential broadband is concentrated among BT, Sky, Virgin Media and TalkTalk, with EE, O2, Vodafone and Three on mobile. The UK is compact enough that country-level targeting suits most pricing and SERP work; city targeting earns its keep mainly for delivery-coverage and local-search studies.
