A Colombian IP comes from a Colombian internet provider, and five of them run most of the country's lines. A residential proxy routes your traffic through one of those customer connections. Colombian sites then show you peso prices, local search results and the ads that run there.
Five operator networks announce 89.8% of Colombia's IPv4 addresses, with Comcel's the largest at 26.2%. Seller pools equal up to 18.2% of the 17.5 million. Our list also had 103 working free Colombian proxies on October 26, 2026. Nearly all ran outside datacenters, and every one was flagged. Our residential proxies target Colombia at $0.50/GB for one GB.
Which networks does a Colombian IP come from?
LACNIC, the internet registry for Latin America, lists every block it gives out, with the holder's country. Its file, with records to October 23, 2026, lists 17,513,984 IPv4 addresses for Colombia, in 647 blocks held by 293 holders. We grouped the six largest records by the network that announces their blocks:
The routing joins two records. UNE EPM's network announces its own 2,447,360 addresses and all 1,781,760 of the record named Colombia Móvil. Comcel and Telmex Colombia stay separate, each on its own networks. Below ETB the list thins out fast: 269 holders with 16,384 addresses or fewer share just 2.2%.
Our Colombia proxies page lists 109 networks for Residential Premium, UNE EPM Telecomunicaciones, Itelkom and Cablemas among them. It also lists 173 cities across 29 regions, such as Bogotá, Cali, Medellín and Barranquilla.
IPv6 reaches about a fifth of users. APNIC Labs measured 21.4% of Colombian users as IPv6-capable in the 30 days to October 23, 2026. A year earlier it was 22.2%, and in October 2020 8.6%.
How do Colombian pools compare with the registry?
They stay well below half of it. We read five sellers' Colombia pages through our server on October 26, 2026, and divided each number by the 17.5 million:
The chart takes Bright Data's 956,254 from its page title. Its text reads 239,063 Colombia IPs, a quarter of the title's count.
Next door in our Peru guide, three pools equal 40.9% to 49.1% of the registry. Oxylabs puts its 2,494,231 on a page offering residential or datacenter proxies. DataImpulse's counters showed 72,211 unique Colombian IPs in 24 hours, 257,136 in 30 days and 21,101 active at once. We do not publish our own pool size per country.
What changes with a Colombian IP?
Sites treat you as a visitor in Colombia. Google's help page says "IP addresses are roughly based on geography" and that location "helps to show you nearby results". Residential Lite sets the country at the lowest rate. Residential Premium narrows a check to one city or one network, chosen by its AS number.
Proxy traffic meets each site's own rules all the same. MaxMind, an IP data vendor, flags suspected residential proxies in its Anonymous IP database. Our guide to how websites detect proxies walks through the other signals.
Why do free Colombian proxies fail?
There are many, few of them run in datacenters, and all of them are flagged. Our tracker has logged 3,671 Colombian addresses from public free proxy lists since May 13, 2026, and 1,097 worked at least once. On October 26, 103 were working.
Only 6 of those ran on datacenter networks. The rest sat on providers such as UFINET Panama, Super Redes, TV Azteca's Colombian network and EPM. Even so, an IP reputation check had flagged all 103 and reported 99 for recent abuse. Our free proxy list for Colombia shows the live ones, fine for a quick test.
How do you pay from Colombia?
Either by card or with crypto. A Visa or Mastercard top-up starts at $10, crypto at $3, and both land in one balance that never expires. PayPal is not offered. Our payment options page has every method, and the guide to buying proxies with crypto shows what each network charges.
How much traffic does a Colombian job use?
Budget about 380 full desktop pages per GB. HTTP Archive's 2024 Page Weight chapter put the median desktop page at 2,652 KB. The median mobile page came to 2,311 KB. Requests without images and scripts weigh much less, so weigh twenty pages of your own target first.
Which plan fits a Colombian job?
Residential Lite with Colombia as the country handles most jobs, at $0.50/GB for one GB and $0.44 per GB at volume. The free list is flagged from end to end, so it suits tests only. Residential Premium adds the 173 cities, the 109 networks and sticky sessions of up to 24 hours. It costs $1.49/GB for one GB and $1.00 per GB at volume. Mobile proxies reach Colombia's 4G and 5G carriers too, and our residential proxies page lists every tier.
What this page could not check
- We tested no speed, success rate or block rate, on any network, ours included.
- We do not publish which Colombian networks our exits use, or how many there are.
- LACNIC's file counts addresses handed out, which is neither the addresses in use nor a count of users.
- We traced routing for the six largest records only, on one day.
- Seller pool numbers are what each page showed on October 26, 2026, and we could not check what each one counts.
- We will check every number on this page again by January 26, 2027.
