Is the US web proxy free?

Yes. Every visitor gets 30 minutes and 100 MB of browsing a day through US residential IPs, with no signup and no ads.

Will websites think I am in the United States?

Sites that locate visitors by IP address will treat you as an American visitor, because the connection comes from a residential IP in the United States. Sites that also check your account, payment card or phone number may still know where you are.

Can I choose a US state or city?

The free web proxy picks a US exit IP for you. Residential and ISP proxy plans let you target a specific state, city or internet provider, and keep the same IP for longer sessions.

Can I watch US-only video through it?

Short clips and previews usually play. Full episodes and films use far more than the 100 MB daily allowance, and some streaming services block all proxy traffic regardless of the IP type.

Is it legal to use a US proxy from another country?

Browsing through a proxy is legal in most countries. A site's own terms of service may restrict access from outside the United States, and those terms still apply to you.

Free US Web Proxy: Browse With a USA IP Address

Why browse through a US proxy

A large share of the web is built for American visitors first. Shops, news sites, apps and services often launch in the United States months before anywhere else, and many keep features, offers or whole catalogues for US visitors only. When you open those sites from abroad, you get a redirect to a local version, a reduced page or a message that the service is not available in your region.

A US web proxy solves that in one step. Your visit reaches the site from an American residential IP address, so it treats you like any other visitor in the United States: prices appear in US dollars, the US edition of the site loads, and features limited to the American market show up as they would at home.

What changes when a site sees a US IP address

Websites use your IP address to guess where you are and decide what to show. With a United States IP you can see:

US prices, deals and shipping options on retail and travel sites, in dollars and with American sales tax rules
The American edition of news and magazine sites, including stories that are not syndicated to other regions
US search results and local listings, the same ranking an American searcher would get
Video, music and app pages licensed only for the United States
Sign-up pages and product launches that open to American visitors first

Residential US IPs instead of a data center

Most free US proxies run on servers rented in a handful of American data centers. Large sites know those address ranges and respond with a CAPTCHA, a block page or a demand to sign in. Shifter Web Proxy connects through residential IPs: home broadband lines across the United States that belong to real internet providers. That is why pages tend to load cleanly, the way they do for a person browsing from their living room.

The free proxy picks the US exit IP for you. If you need a specific state or city, such as New York, Texas or California, or the same IP for a longer session, our residential and ISP proxies offer that targeting on a paid plan.

How to use the free US web proxy

The United States is already selected in the form above. Enter the address of the site you want, select Browse, and complete a quick check. The site opens in a new tab with a toolbar for back, forward, reload and switching country. You can browse for 30 minutes and 100 MB a day for free, with no account and nothing to install.

Want to compare the US page with another market? Switch country from the toolbar and the same site reloads from the new country. Your daily allowance carries over, so switching does not cost extra time.

Who uses a US proxy, and for what

Travellers and expats use it to reach American banking, insurance and government pages that refuse foreign connections. Shoppers compare US prices against their local store before ordering. Marketers check that American ads and landing pages appear correctly, and SEO teams confirm how a page ranks on US search. Developers outside the country use it to test geo-redirects, consent banners and pricing pages their US visitors will see.

Need a US IP for more than a browser tab

Residential proxies give you US IPs in every state for your own browser, scraper or app, with city and ISP targeting and sticky sessions. ISP proxies add static US addresses that stay the same for weeks.
