Why use a Puerto Rico web proxy?
Puerto Rico uses the US dollar and US postal addresses, yet many websites treat it differently from the mainland. Some stores block shipping to the island or charge extra, some streaming and app catalogues differ, and geolocation can label a Puerto Rican visitor as the US, as Puerto Rico, or as Latin America depending on the site.
A Puerto Rico web proxy routes your visit through a home connection on the island. The site sees a Puerto Rican IP address and serves what someone in San Juan, Ponce or Mayagüez would get, so you can check how a page really behaves for people in Puerto Rico.
What a Puerto Rican IP address changes
With a Puerto Rican IP, you can check:
- Whether a store ships to Puerto Rico, and the shipping costs and delivery times it shows
- Google results for Puerto Rico, with Spanish-language pages and island businesses
- Local news sites such as El Nuevo Día as readers in Puerto Rico see them
- Which version of a site you get: US, Puerto Rico or a Latin American edition
Residential Puerto Rican IPs, not a data center
Free proxies offering Puerto Rico usually exit from a data center in Florida or elsewhere on the mainland, so sites see a US visitor, not an island one. Shifter Web Proxy exits through residential IPs: home and mobile connections in Puerto Rico. Your visit looks like it comes from an ordinary household on the island.
The free tool picks the Puerto Rican IP for you. For one IP across a longer session, or Puerto Rican IPs in your own browser or scraper, Shifter residential proxy plans add sticky sessions and targeting where IPs are available. For your own browser, scraper or app, see residential IPs in Puerto Rico.
How to use the free Puerto Rico web proxy
Puerto Rico is already selected in the form above. Type an address, select Browse and complete the quick check that runs once before your session. The page opens in a new tab through Puerto Rico, with navigation buttons and a country menu. It is free, with no account, no ads and nothing to install.
To compare the island view with the mainland, switch to the United States, or try the Dominican Republic or Mexico among our 120 countries, and the page reloads from there.

Residential proxies
Work in your own browser, scripts and apps. Target a city where the pool has coverage, rotate the IP on every request or keep a sticky session, on plans priced by bandwidth.
Best for regular monitoring and data collection in Puerto Rico.
ISP proxies
Each proxy stays on the city and ISP you choose in Puerto Rico, priced per IP rather than per GB.

What works well on a free proxy for Puerto Rico
A free proxy for Puerto Rico is built for light, page-by-page browsing. Knowing its limits saves time.
- Works well: news sites, online shops, classifieds, local search results and checking how your own site looks to visitors in Puerto Rico.
- Less suitable: video streaming and large downloads, which a free browser proxy is not built for.
- Not designed for: logging in to personal accounts, banking or anything tied to your real identity. Some sites also check your phone number or card country.
Who uses a Puerto Rico proxy
