How to get a UK IP address in three steps
If you want to maintain a British IP address wherever you are in the world, you need to have a VPN (Virtual Private Network). That is an easy task: get a good VPN, connect to a server in the UK, and surf, surf, surf!
Choose the best VPN server in a UK city
Whether you’re chasing speed or security, a VPN server in the UK may be just what you’re looking for!
For the fastest connection
For even more security
Connect to one of our Dynamic MultiHop locations if you want an extra kick to your security. From our regular MultiHop locations, you can connect to Manchester via Frankfurt am Main if you want a UK IP address. For a non-UK IP address, you have Frankfurt am Main or Paris via London. But with Dynamic MultiHop allowing custom connections, you can select both of the double VPN servers taking your security to the next level.
For avoiding censorship
Staying or traveling in countries where governments censor the internet? Regain your right to internet freedom. Use obfuscated servers to bypass censorship and explore the free web wherever you are. This works with all of our UK servers!

Why use a VPN for the UK
Protect your data from snoops
Problem: Your online activity benefits big data companies, your internet service provider (ISP), and maybe even His Majesty’s Government.
Solution: A VPN encrypts (turns into meaningless code) your traffic and protects your internet connection from any peeping toms.
Ensure your privacy online
Problem: Your IP and location can help data giants build profiles about you (your interests, opinions, health searches, football club support, etc.)
Solution: A VPN changes your IP address and hides your location so that no one knows you’re connecting from Ibiza or who you are.
Access public Wi-Fi without risks
Problem: Public Wi-Fi is as lovely as a fresh cuppa, but it’s not secure. Wi-Fi hotspots can be faked or compromised by hackers.
Solution: A VPN connection encrypts your data before it leaves your device, making any data a hacker might nick complete balderdash.
Find better deals
Problem: Online retailers, rental, and airline services often adjust prices according to your connection location, especially since people connecting from England can be expected to pay more.
Solution: Log out of the site, clear your cookies, and use a VPN to change your location to hunt for cheaper deals all around!
Enjoy entertainment safely
Problem: Your ISP can slow (throttle) your connection down if you’re streaming shows or downloading files.
Solution: Connect to a VPN to stream your favorite shows in the privacy of your home without lag or internet throttling.
Secure your home fortress
Problem: With Wi-Fi devices like phones, PCs, Roombas, smart TVs, and fridges, you’re easily exposed to cyberthreats.
Solution: Install a VPN on your router to protect your entire home as if it was a Welsh castle.
Try Surfshark VPN risk-free
Try the best VPN in the UK, no strings attached. If you’re unhappy with Surfshark VPN, you can request a refund within 30 days of your purchase.
Should I use a free VPN in the UK?
Imagine locking your front door and handing a robber the keys to your house. Sounds silly? Well, using free VPN services is essentially the same thing.
Free VPNs will collect and sell your personal data for money and bombard you with ads while providing a mediocre connection. Why? Because every VPN service needs to maintain its staff and service, and it’s either your data and ads or a simple subscription.
When it comes to quality and privacy, premium VPNs always beat free.

Feels nice being able to use the internet without it being throttled. Haven't been able to post updates in a while because of it. My upload speed was throttled down to 0.03 so all my images errored out. @surfshark really did amazing work for me and was very affordable.
