Uptime Monitoring Proxies: Check Your Website from Different Countries

Why uptime monitoring needs several countries

A check from one place can't tell 'down' from 'down for me'. Google Cloud's uptime checks require at least three checkers and, by default, notify only when at least two regions report a failure — so one failing location alone doesn't raise an alert.

Sites also fail by country while the origin is fine. CDN and firewall rules can block or challenge a country, a network or an IP range — Cloudflare offers all three — and networks fail by country too: Cloudflare reported that since June 9, 2025, ISPs in Russia have throttled connections to sites behind it to roughly the first 16 KB, leaving pages broken for visitors there.

Static datacenter IPs make dependable checkers: fixed for the whole term, fast and priced per IP. Put one in each country you serve and run your own multi-location checks, or route monitors in a tool such as Uptime Kuma, which lists proxy support, through them.

Set up multi-country uptime checks in 4 steps

1. Buy IPs in three or more countries

   The button below opens Static Datacenter Proxies (Per IP and term) with the AI and automation use case. Pick one Region, choose a Term, set Protocol to HTTP and keep Quantity at 1, then click Review cost and generate. Repeat for each country.

2. Copy each IP

   In My assets, Copy gives host:port:user:password. Store each as a proxy URL — PROXY_US, PROXY_DE, PROXY_SG — in the form http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT.

3. Run the check through each country

   Use the code below from a scheduler: it requests your health URL through every proxy and prints status and response time.

   Expected result One line per country with 200 and a time; an ALERT line only when two or more countries fail.

4. Or plug the IPs into your monitor

   In a monitor that accepts an HTTP proxy with username and password, add one proxy per country and attach each to the checks for that market.

Check one URL from several countries (Python)

Scroll horizontally with the arrow keys to read all content.

# pip install httpx
import os
import httpx

URL = "https://www.example.com/health"
# One static datacenter IP per country (Region), each copied from My assets
CHECKERS = {"US": os.environ["PROXY_US"], "DE": os.environ["PROXY_DE"], "SG": os.environ["PROXY_SG"]}

failed = []
for country, proxy in CHECKERS.items():
    try:
        r = httpx.get(URL, proxy=proxy, timeout=10)
        ok = r.status_code == 200
        print(country, r.status_code, f"{r.elapsed.total_seconds():.2f}s")
    except httpx.HTTPError as exc:
        ok = False
        print(country, "error:", type(exc).__name__)
    if not ok:
        failed.append(country)

if len(failed) >= 2:  # one failing checker is often its own network; two or more is an outage
    print("ALERT: down from", ", ".join(failed))

Checked on 2026-10-18 (httpx 0.28.1) against a local health endpoint: three 200 responses and no alert; when the endpoint returned 503 from all three, the script raised the alert.
