Where to get a proxy with UDP support

Introduction

In our previous article, we demonstrated that the modern web relies increasingly on UDP: HTTP/3, QUIC, WebRTC, and WebTransport are becoming the norm rather than experiments. If your traffic appears as pure TCP, you stand out significantly from the profile of 95% of ordinary users and are more likely to attract the scrutiny of anti-bot systems.

However, even the most perfect 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 a native UDP implementation, many users have faced a logical question: where can one find proxies that can handle this standard?

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

The market is overcrowded with marketing promises, but when it comes to real-world testing, the list of candidates shrinks drastically. We tested dozens of services and selected those that do not just declare support for the protocol, but actually pass various checks.

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

Below is a shortlist of services whose infrastructure was truly ready for the modern web at the time of testing.

Proxy services with UDP support

1. ProxyShard

Link: proxyshard.com

A service with a clear interface and honest specifications. We checked their Datacenter proxies across 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 / mo.
  • ISP: from $2.0 / mo.
  • Mobile: from $4.0 / day.
• Traffic: Unlimited.
• Payment: Cards, Crypto.

On mobile proxies, IP rotation is available, and importantly, Passive OS Fingerprint change is supported. This adds credibility to your session. They promise to implement UDP support on residential proxies in the near future. The support team deserves a special mention — they react promptly and help resolve issues without long waits.

2. IPRoyal

Link: iproyal.com

A major player with huge coverage. The claimed UDP support on Datacenter and ISP was confirmed by tests. Speeds are decent, and the channel holds the load steadily.

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

There is an important nuance when buying proxies: avoid the "Random Location" option. Random selection here is truly merciless — you might get Zimbabwe or other exotic locations, so if you have strict geo requirements, be sure to select the country manually. We also note the support work: they answer 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 IP selection, allowing you to see proxy information before purchasing. You can filter proxies by UDP availability (use the "UDP-enabled" filter).

• Type: Residential and others.
• Geography: 230+ geos (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 platform's advantages is the ability to check the IP before purchase against Scamalytics, IPQS databases, blacklists, and real speed. This allows you to avoid buying low-quality proxies.

Among the nuances, it is worth highlighting the account activation deposit of $50 (the amount is credited to the balance), however, subsequent top-ups are available from $10. Also, consider the pay-per-gigabyte model: if your workflow involves high traffic consumption, the final cost may turn out to be higher than that of unlimited competitors.

4. @Betternever_findbot

Link: @Betternever_findbot

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

• Type: Residential, ISP, Datacenter.
• Geography:
  • Exclusive Proxy (Residential): 150+ countries (20k+ IPs).
  • 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/mo).
  • Longlife Proxy DC: $12.0 / mo.
• Traffic: Unlimited.
• Payment: Cards, Crypto, Apple/Google Pay, PayPal.

Full UDP support on these proxy categories has been tested and confirmed. It works stably. If you are not bothered by the lack of a classic dashboard on the site, this is an excellent option.

5. Doppelganger

Link: doppelganger.shop

The service provides access to popular locations in Tier-1 countries. 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 feature to change the Passive OS Fingerprint. This allows you to increase the consistency of network parameters with session settings. 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 / mo.
• Traffic: Mostly unlimited (depends on the position).
• Payment: Crypto

We confirmed UDP operation on a number of positions, but the situation is mixed. Some ports may not support the protocol despite the claimed characteristics — read the description of the specific lot carefully before buying. It is also worth noting that IP rotation and Passive OS Fingerprint (pOf) spoofing are available on some mobile proxies, but the total cost of services here is noticeably higher than the market average.

A high entry threshold (minimum deposit $50) and operation only with cryptocurrency make the service unsuitable for quick tests or single 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 prioritize functionality over visuals. The site looks like a blast 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 / mo (prices depend heavily on the selected proxy category).
• Traffic: Unlimited.
• Payment: PayPal, Crypto: BTC.

This is one of the most budget-friendly options on the market with no minimum deposit requirements.

To make it easier for you to navigate, we have summarized the key parameters in one table.

Note to table: "Limit" means that a traffic package is included in the price, with a surcharge for GB thereafter. * 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 universal solution. It is always an equation with many variables, where the correct answer depends on your specific tasks, budgets, and target platforms.

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

The market is dynamic: conditions, prices, and quality of the same providers change over time. Therefore, periodically review your toolkit, do not 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 actual performance of the services at the time of testing. We do not give conclusions about the origin of IP pools and do not consider the legal aspects of their use. Use the options provided at your own discretion and be sure to conduct your own analysis of the ethics of certain services before use.

Separately, we note that we are already preparing our own version of white-hat 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 in our blog and Telegram channel.

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