Where to get a proxy with UDP support

In our previous article, we showed that the modern web is increasingly relying on UDP: HTTP/3, QUIC, WebRTC, and WebTransport are becoming the norm rather than the exception. If your traffic looks like pure TCP, you stand out significantly from the profile of 95% of regular users and are more likely to attract the attention of anti-bot systems.

However, even the most sophisticated tool is useless without a high-quality resource. This article is a direct response to a request from our community. Since Linken Sphere remains one of the few solutions on the market with native UDP implementation, many users have faced the logical question: where can they get proxies that support this standard?

It is proxies with full UDP support that allow Linken Sphere to reach its full potential, combining high-quality fingerprint spoofing technologies with a modern network stack.

The market is overflowing with marketing promises, but when it comes to real-world testing, the list of candidates shrinks dramatically. We tested dozens of services and selected those that not only declare support for the protocol, but also pass various tests.

We value your time, so we will not duplicate the testing methodology (WebRTC, QUIC, WebTransport) in this article. If you missed how to check the connection quality yourself, we strongly recommend that you first read our previous publication.
 

Below is a short list of services whose infrastructure is truly ready to work with the modern web at the time of testing.

Proxy services with UDP support

1. ProxyShard

Link: proxyshard.com
 

A service with an intuitive interface and honest specifications. We tested their Datacenter proxy with all checkers — UDP is fully supported.

• Type: Datacenter, ISP, Mobile.
• Geography:
  • DC: PL, MD, NL, UA, DE.
  • ISP: CZ, TR.
  • Mobile: US, DE, UA, UK.
• Pricing:
  • DC: from $1.2 / month.
  • ISP: from $2.0 / month.
  • Mobile: from $4.0 / day.
• Traffic: Unlimited.
• Payment: Cards, Crypto.

Mobile proxies allow you to change your IP and, importantly, your passive OS fingerprint. This adds credibility to your session. UDP support for residential proxies is promised to be implemented in the near future. The support service deserves a special mention — they respond quickly and help resolve issues without long waits.

2. IPRoyal

Link: iproyal.com
 

A major player with extensive coverage. The claimed UDP support on Datacenter and ISP has been confirmed by tests. Speeds are decent, and the channel maintains a stable load.

• Type: Datacenter, ISP.
• Geography:
  • DC: 63 locations (Europe, Asia, America, Africa).
  • ISP: 38 locations.
• Pricing:
  • DC: $1.8 / month.
  • ISP: $4.0 / month (or $2/day).
• Traffic: Unlimited.
• Payment: Cards, Crypto, PayPal, Google Pay, Alipay.

When buying a proxy, there is an important nuance: avoid the “Random Location” option. Random here is really merciless — you may end up with Zimbabwe or some other exotic location, so if you have strict requirements for geo, be sure to select the country manually. We would also like to note the support team's work: they respond quickly and to the point, which is a pleasant rarity for services of this scale.

3. Nsocks

Link: nsocks.net
 

Nsocks offers a detailed approach to selecting IP addresses, allowing you to see information about the proxy before you buy. You can filter proxies by UDP availability (use the “UDP-enabled” filter).

• Type: Residential and others.
• Geography: 230+ locations (including 50 US states).
• Pricing: from $0.5 / day + traffic.
• Traffic: Limited. The price includes a package (3.3 Gb), then $0.24/Gb.
• Payment: Crypto: BTC, LTC.

One of the advantages of the platform is the ability to check the IP before purchasing using Scamalytics, IPQS, blacklists, and real speed databases. This allows you to avoid purchasing low-quality proxies.

One thing to note is the $50 deposit required to activate your account (the amount is credited to your balance), but subsequent top-ups are available from $10. Also, keep in mind the pay-per-gigabyte model: if your workflow involves high traffic consumption, the total cost may be higher than that of unlimited competitors.

4. @Betternever_findbot

Link: @Betternever_findbot
 

A service with an unusual form factor: management and purchase are done through a Telegram bot. There is a web version, but the categories we need (Exclusive Proxy and Longlife proxy) are only available in the messenger.

• Type: Residential, ISP, Datacenter.
• Geography:
  • Exclusive Proxy (Residential): 150+ countries (20k+ IP).
  • Longlife Proxy ISP: 31+ countries.
  • Longlife Proxy DC: 50+ countries.
• Pricing:
  • Exclusive Proxy (Residential): from $0.76 / day.
  • Longlife Proxy ISP: $3.0 / day (or $20/month).
  • Longlife Proxy DC: $12.0 / month.
• Traffic: Unlimited.
• Payment: Cards, Crypto, Apple/Google Pay, PayPal.

Full UDP support on these proxy categories has been tested and confirmed. Works stably. If you don't mind the lack of a classic dashboard on the website, this is a great option.

5. Doppelganger

Link: doppelganger.shop
 

The service provides access to popular locations in first world countries (Tier-1). UDP support is claimed on all available proxies.

• Type: Residential and others.
• Geography: 20 countries (Tier-1: Europe, Asia, USA).
• Pricing: from $1.0 / day.
• Traffic: Unlimited.
• Payment: Crypto: BTC, LTC, TRX.

Among the interesting options, it is worth highlighting the paid option to change the Passive OS Fingerprint. This allows you to improve the compliance of network parameters with session settings. The speed in tests is high, and the minimum deposit is $10.

6. Detect.expert

Link: detect.expert
 

A service tailored for complex tasks. The main focus is on mobile and residential proxies.

• Type: Mobile, Residential.
• Geography:
  • Mobile: 24 locations.
  • Residential: 168 locations.
• Pricing:
  • Mobile: from $1.0 / day.
  • Residential: from $6.0 / month.
• Traffic: Mostly unlimited (depends on location).
• Payment: Crypto

We have confirmed that UDP works in a number of locations, but the situation is not uniform. Some ports may not support the protocol, despite the stated specifications — please read the description of a specific lot carefully before purchasing. It is also worth considering that some mobile proxies allow you to change your IP and passive OS fingerprint (pOf), but the total cost of services here is significantly higher than the market average.

The high entry threshold (minimum deposit of $50) and the fact that it only works with cryptocurrency make the service unsuitable for quick tests or one-off purchases — this is a solution for those who know exactly what they are paying for.

7. Proxy-hub

Link: proxy-hub.com
 

An option for those who value functionality over visual appeal. The website looks like it's from the 2000s and is extremely inconvenient, but the proxies themselves (we tested the Semi Dedicated Private category, although UDP support is claimed for all types) showed excellent stability and UDP support.

• Type: Residential.
• Geography: Regional selection (USA / EU / MIX).
• Pricing: 10 proxies from $12 / month (prices vary greatly depending on the selected proxy category).
• Traffic: Unlimited.
• Payment: PayPal, Crypto: BTC.

This is one of the most affordable options on the market with no minimum deposit requirements.

Comparison table

To make it easier for you to navigate, we have compiled the key parameters into a single table.

Note to the table: “Limit” means that the price includes a traffic package, with additional charges per GB.

* Unlimited terms on Detect.expert depend on the specific lot.

Conclusion

When it comes to choosing a proxy, as with many things, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. It is always an equation with many variables, where the correct answer depends on your specific tasks, budgets, and target sites.

In this article, we did not try to sell you a specific service. Our goal was different — to significantly narrow down the search area to save you time and money on testing. We filtered out the marketing noise and provided you with a list of providers whose infrastructure is truly ready to work with the modern web.

The market is dynamic: conditions, prices, and quality change over time for the same providers. Therefore, periodically review your tools, don't be afraid to test new players, but always start with small pilot launches and controlled volumes.

It is important to understand that in this article, we primarily evaluate the technical side and the current performance of the services at the time of testing. We do not make conclusions about the origin of IP pools and do not consider the legal aspects of their use. Use the options provided at your discretion and be sure to conduct your own analysis of the ethics of certain services before using them.

We would like to note that we are already preparing our own version of white and ethical proxies with UDP support for Linken Sphere users. Our goal is to provide a convenient, understandable, and maximally transparent tool “out of the box.” Follow the updates on our blog and Telegram channel.

Ultimately, the best tool is not just a service from a list, but a combination of a browser, proxy, and your field-tested work methodology. Our task is to help you take the first conscious step and save dozens of hours on weeding out obviously weak options.
