How can I change the country of the proxies?

Learn how to change the location of your Webshare proxies. Covers Proxy Server and Static Residential plans, plus how to choose locations with Rotating Residential.

How you change your proxy countries depends on your plan:

  • Proxy Server and Static Residential: replace proxies manually or edit your plan's country allocation (Options 1 and 2 below).

  • Rotating Residential: you already have access to all available locations. See Rotating Residential below.


Proxy Server and Static Residential

There are two ways to change the country of your proxies. Choose the one that fits what you need.

Option 1: Replace proxies manually

If you only need to swap a few proxies, you can replace them by country from your Proxy List page. See Replacing Proxies for step-by-step instructions.

Option 2: Edit your plan's country allocation

If you need to change many proxies or have run out of replacements, you can edit your subscription and choose how many proxies you want in each country.

  1. Go to the Plans & Pricing page and click Edit plan under your current subscription.

  2. Scroll down to the Choose Proxy locations section.

  3. In Available locations on the left, use the search bar to find a country, then click Add:

  4. In Selected locations on the right, enter the number of proxies you want in each country:

  5. Under the Summary box on the right, click Continue:

  6. Review your changes and confirm your subscription.

Your updated proxies will appear on the Proxy List page.

Any unused bandwidth and time from your current plan will be credited to your account and applied as a discount to the plan change.

Note: Your credit amount is based on whichever you have less of remaining, time or bandwidth, so it may be small or zero. See Account Credits for how the amount is calculated.


Rotating Residential

With a Rotating Residential plan, you automatically have access to all available locations, so there's nothing to replace or reconfigure.
