Best Norwegian proxies providers

If you’ve spent any amount of time on the market for proxy Norway, you are probably aware of how tedious the process of picking and choosing a worthy provider can become. In this article I’ll go over my personal favourites, the tried and true services, to help you avoid playing the guessing game when your time and money is on the line.

Floppydata

My personal go-to for Norwegian proxies. Floppydata combines amazing connection speed and uptime with affordable pricing. The platform runs on a monthly subscription but offers the best prices on the market that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Norway residential proxy (as well as mobile) go for as low as $1/GB, while datacenter ones start from $0.60/GB.

One of the best things about Floppydata is its extensive dashboard that allows you to manage your traffic, session type, and IP rotation. At the same time, the dashboard’s interface is easy to understand and use – setting up a proxy pool takes only a couple of clicks. There, you can also contact 24/7 client support, where a skilled professional will assist you with any potential issues.

Bright Data

Bright Data is considered a golden standard among proxy providers for its massive IP pool, top-notch performance, and broad suite of products. Couple that with an extensive, yet complex, dashboard and full GDPR/CCPA compliance and you have a great option for enterprises or enterprise-level tasks. Bright Data’s Norwegian proxy pool consists of 107,000+ IP addresses. Combined with its precise geo-targeting by cities and ZIP-codes, it makes Bright Data an amazing tool for bypassing anti-bot systems or performing localized tasks of any scale.

This high-quality service is reflected in Bright Data’s pricing. The platform mainly operates on a monthly subscription model, where ISP and datacenter IPs start from $18/mo and $14/mo, respectively. Residential and mobile proxies go for $8/GB.

IPRoyal

IPRoyal is a good mid-tier alternative with over 217,000 Norwegian IP addresses in its pool. The platform’s IPs are 100% ethically sourced, which ensures your connection won’t be flagged as a bot. On top of that, IPRoyal provides excellent 10 GB/s speeds and 99% uptime, making it a great option for streaming. Contrary to Bright Data, IPRoyal has an intuitive beginner-friendly dashboard and browser extension, that makes proxy management easy for single users or small teams. IPRoyal’s suite offers a couple of supplementary tools such as an automated web unblocker and video scraper API – helpful additions to your tasks without an overflowing interface.

As far as pricing goes, IPRoyal stays in its mid-tier rank. Datacenter and ISP proxies go per IP and would cost you $1.39 and $2.40, respectively. For mobile proxies IPRoyal uses a time-based subscription, with daily/weekly/monthly plans starting from $10.11/day. Residential proxies cost $7/GB with the price going down significantly if you buy in bulk.

Oxylabs

Oxylabs is another premium provider best fit for enterprises and technically demanding tasks. While Oxylabs provides an extensive suite of tools with their own scraping solutions, APIs, and multiple AI tools, the platform’s dashboard stays relatively easy to navigate. To further simplify proxy management, Oxylabs has a free Chrome extension.

Oxylabs provides an astonishing global IP pool counting hundreds of thousands and even millions of proxies spread across over 195 countries. Besides its massive pool, Oxylabs is popular for ensuring great response time averaging as low as 0.41 – 0.6 seconds with an average success rate of 99.2%.

The platform’s pricing model is pretty flexible. Residential and mobile proxies would cost you $8/GB and $9/GB in the PAYG plan (accessible only through the dashboard) or $99 and higher for monthly plans of varying bandwidth. Datacenter and ISP start from $1.20/IP and $1.60/IP, both with 10 IP minimum purchase.

ProxyEmpire

ProxyEmpire is a balanced budget-friendly option that would be most beneficial for beginners, solopreneurs, and small teams. While the platform’s Norway IP pool is smaller than many of its competitors, the amount would be more than sufficient for any small-to-mid scale tasks like streaming or bypassing anti-bot systems. ProxyEmpire’s greatest advantage is unlimited data rollover. Meaning the traffic you paid for stays with you indefinitely, rolling over to the next month until you’ve used it up to the last byte. The platform has impressive geo-targeting, allowing you to target specific cities and ISPs, which sets it apart from most providers with the same price ranges.

While ProxyEmpire doesn’t have a free trial in its general sense, they offer a test package with 100MB of residential and 50MB of mobile data for $1.97. For their full plans, ProxyEmpire operates primarily on monthly subscriptions with the lowest tiers costing $20-25/mo.

How to get a Norway IP Address

Once you’ve determined the provider that works best for you, the last question arises – how do you get proxies from Norway? Let me show you how to use a dashboard and acquire your own proxy pool, using Floppydata as an example.

1. Step 1:

When you register your account, you’ll be transferred to the dashboard page. On the left part of the screen find the “Create proxy pool” tab. Upon clicking on the tab, you’ll find yourself looking at all the available customization options for your IPs.

There, you can choose the type of proxies you need – I need mobile, for example. Pick the country and city out of 195+ locations presented, today I’m picking Norway. Then, you can choose the rotation time (Floppydata allows you to keep your session up to 60 minutes), protocol, and the amount of IP addresses.

Once all that’s settled, just press the bright button in the right bottom corner of the page.

1. Step 2:
   

Now you have a dedicated page with the exact proxies you’ve picked out. If on the dashboard you can see and manage your overall traffic, this page is solely for your chosen configuration, ensuring you won’t get lost in your data usage if you’re controlling several different IP pools. You can always access this page again from your dashboard.

For now you’ll need to scroll down.

1. Step 3:
   

And there you have it – your full list of proxies. You can copy or download the full list or get any singular proxy, as well as check their status. That’s what I like about Floppydata – you’re all set in just three simple steps.

Conclusion

In order to decide which proxy server Norway fits you best, you need to consider a couple things – your budget, team size, and your typical scale of tasks. If you’re running a large enterprise with your employees operating on a number of different highly technical tasks, Bright Data or Oxylabs might be the way to go. But be prepared to pay top dollar for the service. For occasional or casual users, solopreneurs, and small teams the best fit would be IPRoyal or ProxyEmpire. That is especially true if you don’t want to cash out on IP addresses. The best in-between option is Floppydata – providing amazing service for one of the best price tags the current market has to offer.
