## Why do you need UK and EU IPs for ad verification?

Ads are targeted by country, region and network, so you must check them from where the audience is. A campaign for UK mobile users does not show to a tester in Germany.

The IP type matters too. Some malicious redirects and cloaked ads show clean content to visitors from data-centre IP ranges. Residential and mobile IPs show what real users in that market receive, including the final landing page.

## Why check mobile ads through a 4G/5G port?

A dedicated 4G/5G port puts your checks on the networks your audience uses. Mobile ad delivery can depend on the carrier and the mobile ASN, which a broadband IP cannot reproduce.

Mobile networks such as EE use carrier-grade NAT, with shared address space defined in RFC 6598. Many subscribers share each public IP, so a mobile IP is a realistic vantage point. This is a network mechanism, not a guarantee of any result.

The UK has three mobile operators and four network brands. Wikipedia lists 27.9 million subscribers for VodafoneThree (April–June 2026), 22.0 million for O2 (Q1 2026) and 21.2 million for EE (Q3 2025).

## Which mobile networks can you verify ads on?

ASNs come from RIPEstat lookups on 5 October 2026. Check your own exit ASN with our [ASN guide](https://pontproxy.com/guides/check-proxy-asn/).

| Carrier | Country | Mobile ASN (RIPEstat) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [EE](https://pontproxy.com/mobile-proxies/united-kingdom/ee/) | UK | AS2856 (BT) originates EE mobile prefixes |
| [Vodafone](https://pontproxy.com/mobile-proxies/united-kingdom/vodafone/) | UK | Mobile-range mapping unverified |
| [O2](https://pontproxy.com/mobile-proxies/united-kingdom/o2/) | UK | AS35228 and AS29180 (Telefonica UK) |
| [Three](https://pontproxy.com/mobile-proxies/united-kingdom/three/) | UK | AS206067 and AS60339 (Hutchison 3G UK) |
| [Telekom](https://pontproxy.com/mobile-proxies/germany/telekom/) | Germany | AS3320 (Deutsche Telekom) |
| [Orange](https://pontproxy.com/mobile-proxies/france/orange/) | France | AS3215 (Orange) |

Other countries use the Europe port zones. See [mobile proxies](https://pontproxy.com/mobile-proxies/).

## What should an ad verification check record?

Record what the user saw, where, and on which network:

- **Placement:** publisher URL, ad slot and creative ID.
- **Location and network:** country, city, ISP or carrier, and exit ASN.
- **Landing page:** the full redirect chain and final URL.
- **Evidence:** a screenshot and a UTC timestamp.

A creative that appears on O2 but not on EE may point to a targeting error, not fraud.

## How do you set up ad verification with PontProxy?

Use residential IPs for desktop checks and dedicated ports for mobile checks. The residential username format is `USERNAME-country-{cc}-city-{city}-session-{id}-ttl-{minutes}`.

1. **Map campaigns to markets** — List each campaign's target countries, cities and networks, for example UK mobile on EE and Three.
2. **Buy ports and traffic** — On the pricing page, buy one port per carrier you must check, plus residential GB for desktop. Pay in crypto.
3. **Connect residential checks** — Use gw.pontproxy.com:7777 with a sticky username such as USERNAME-country-de-city-munich-session-adchk1-ttl-15.
4. **Connect mobile checks** — Copy each port's details and API key from the client area. Call the rotation link for a fresh carrier IP between checks.
5. **Capture evidence** — Save the redirect chain, a screenshot, the exit ASN and a timestamp with the campaign ID.

*bash: rotate a dedicated UK port, then follow an ad's redirect chain*

```bash
# MOBILE_PROXY comes from the client area, e.g. http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT
# 1) fresh carrier IP (replace {port} and API_KEY)
curl -s "https://pontproxy.com/api/v1/mobile/{port}/rotate?key=API_KEY"

# 2) confirm the exit network (ASN)
curl -s -x "$MOBILE_PROXY" https://ipinfo.io/json

# 3) follow the ad's click-through URL and print the final hop
curl -s -L -o /dev/null -x "$MOBILE_PROXY" -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 14) Mobile" \n  -w "final: %{url_effective} hops: %{num_redirects}
" "https://ads.example.net/click?id=CREATIVE_ID"

# 4) same check from a Manchester residential IP
curl -s -L -o /dev/null -x http://gw.pontproxy.com:7777 \n  -U "USERNAME-country-gb-city-manchester:PASSWORD" \n  -w "final: %{url_effective}
" "https://ads.example.net/click?id=CREATIVE_ID"
```

## How do you run ad verification responsibly?

Verify ads you own or are paid to check, and never create billable activity. PontProxy supports ad verification under its [Acceptable Use Policy](https://pontproxy.com/acceptable-use/).

1. **No fake clicks or impressions.** Use click-through URLs from your own campaign data.
2. **Respect robots.txt** on publisher sites you crawl.
3. **Limit your rate.** Check placements at set intervals, not in bursts.
4. **Collect no personal data** from the pages you check.
5. **Know the blocked targets:** online banking, government portals, payment processors and outgoing email (SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587). Report abuse to abuse@pontproxy.com.

## Ad verification proxies: frequently asked questions

### What is the best proxy type for ad verification?

Use both. Residential IPs from BT, Sky, Virgin Media and TalkTalk cover desktop placements from $0.36/GB. Dedicated 4G/5G ports on EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three cover mobile ads from $4.50/day. Data-centre IPs are a poor fit, because some cloaked ads show clean content to data-centre ranges.

### Can I choose the UK mobile carrier for ad checks?

Yes. PontProxy UK ports run on EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three, with carrier choice included at no surcharge. Choose the carrier at checkout. If a campaign targets several networks, buy one port per carrier and compare what each network shows.

### How do I get a new IP on a dedicated 4G/5G port?

Call the port's rotation link. A PontProxy port gives you a new IP on demand by link or API, or automatically on a timer. The link and API key are in your client area. Wait for the call to return before the next page load. The [quickstart guide](https://pontproxy.com/guides/quickstart/) shows the command.

### Can I verify ads in Germany and France?

Yes. Use residential IPs with `-country-de` or `-country-fr` and a city such as Munich or Lyon. For mobile ads, PontProxy covers Telekom, Vodafone, O2 and 1&1 in Germany, and Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile in France. Each port includes unlimited traffic with no daily cap.

### Is traffic limited on dedicated mobile ports?

No. PontProxy dedicated 4G/5G ports come with unlimited traffic with no daily cap, which suits heavy creatives and video. If you need many mobile IPs for short checks instead, rotating mobile traffic starts at $1.50/GB. Ports in Germany and France cost $59.25 for 30 days.

### Do I need KYC to buy ad verification proxies?

No. PontProxy requires no KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. You log in with an account number, and email is optional. Payment is crypto only: Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC). Delivery is instant — credentials appear as soon as your top-up confirms and you buy a plan.

### Can I use PontProxy proxies to click ads?

No. Fake clicks or impressions are ad fraud and break our [Acceptable Use Policy](https://pontproxy.com/acceptable-use/). Use PontProxy to view and record ads and landing pages, never to create billable events. Confirmed abuse leads to termination without refund. Report suspected ad fraud to abuse@pontproxy.com.
