The UK Proxy server requires authentication. Please use your ukproxy.tv username and password received with the registration email.
On computers (PC/MAC/Linux) the authentication works automatically. You will be prompted to enter your username and password as soon as you start browsing.
On other devices that use Apps (TVs/Media Devices/Gaming Consoles) you need to visit our webpage: http://www.ukproxy.tv/config.php in order to authenticate your IP.
Hint: You can authenticate your IP from any computer/device connected to the same network as your TV/Media Devices/Gaming Console.
Hint: Choose the option: Stay signed in and you won't have to enter your username and password again.

If you are using the Full HTTP proxy configuration you can try to change the port number from port 80 to 3128.
One reason could be that the proxy is not configured correctly. Please check that the proxy configuration was done correctly and contact us if it's still not working.
Another reason could be that the configuration is not set on the active Internet Connection. For example in case you connect a 3G modem to your PC but your proxy configuration was made on your LAN connection.
Hint: Make sure you configured the proxy on your active connection, the one that is in use.
It is also possible that your proxy configuration option is not working on your internet connection, please contact us in order to troubleshoot this further and find a configuration that works for you.

You will have to go to the Proxy Settings/DNS Configuration on your device (or browser) and remove the Proxy/ DNS configuration.
On some devices you must select a default option like:

• "No proxy", or
• "Automatic settings", or
• Remove the option "Use a proxy server for your LAN check box", or
• Obtain DNS automatically.

For your device, you can find on our http://ukproxy.tv/setup.html page the steps that guide you to the "proxy settings" location.
Please contact us if you need more details about removing the proxy from your device.

This usually happens when you are trying to browse the web by loading access.ukproxy.tv in your web browser. That is not the correct way to do it.
After you configured the browser to use a proxy you are able to browse the web as before the only difference is that you can bypass the restrictions on the websites that require an UK IP address.
Instead of typing access.ukproxy.tv in the address bar you should type the address of the website you are trying to visit, for example: http://www.itv.com.

This means that you will not be prompted for authentication as long as you retain the same IP (that was once authenticated).
Also if you are using a local network (router) then all the devices that connect to the internet through that router will be able to use the service. This is helpful for devices that use apps like: Smart TVs, Gaming Consoles, Media Devices, etc.
As proxy address you have to use: ip.ukproxy.tv

19. What is Browser Session Authentication?

This method allows you to authenticate one browser and one device on our proxy server.
As proxy address you have to use: access.ukproxy.tv
