Everyday users, office teams and developers
Copilot on the web, in Office and in your IDE runs from a clean fixed exit: steady sign-ins, fewer verification prompts.
Native ISP and datacenter IPs lease from one month and keep their address, ready to register in security policies; short-term IPs run 1–24 hours.
Overseas teams keep their Copilot exit fixed in the country they work in; agents built for a market are tested from an exit in that market.

Chat, draft and create images with Copilot on the web, in the Edge sidebar or on Windows while your Microsoft account signs in from one home-broadband IP: fewer unusual-sign-in alerts and no verification breaking up long chats.
Native ISP IPStaff open Copilot in Word, Excel and Teams from the same home-broadband IP every day, instead of being flagged for unfamiliar sign-ins and re-prompted for MFA on hotel, hotspot and café networks.
Native ISP IPPoint VS Code or JetBrains at the proxy and completions and Copilot Chat ride a fixed exit; if your organisation enforces an IP allow list on its repositories, git pulls and pushes use the same address, so the list needs just one entry.
Broadcast residentialSelf-hosted cloud dev machines and remote desktops share one dedicated datacenter IP, so changing cloud regions never breaks the allow list and developers can pull code and use Copilot from first boot.
Datacenter IPNative ISP for personal accounts and Office seats, broadcast residential for developer laptops, datacenter for servers and cloud dev boxes, short-term for agent tests.
| Job | IP type | When to use it | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Personal and Copilot Pro accounts | Native ISP IPFrom $5/IP/month | Daily Copilot chats, writing and images on the web, in Edge and on Windows. | One native ISP IP per Microsoft account; set the system proxy once and every app shares it. |
| Office seats | Native ISP IPFrom $5/IP/month | Overseas teams use Microsoft 365 Copilot daily for documents, spreadsheets and meeting notes. | One fixed exit per person, registered as a named location in conditional access. |
| Developers coding | Broadcast IP$4/IP/month | Developers use GitHub Copilot on laptops and the organisation wants a fixed source. | Residential-registered at a lower cost; add the address to the GitHub organisation list. |
| Cloud dev boxes and remote desktops | Datacenter IP$3/IP/month | Dev environments run on your own cloud servers that come and go. | Every machine shares one datacenter exit; register it once and leave it. |
| Agent pre-launch tests | Static residential · Short-termFrom $0.17/IP | A Copilot Studio agent is heading to a new country or language. | 1–24 hour leases, one IP per market, from packs that don't expire. |
Copilot itself is easy; the friction is sign-in. Staff connect from every kind of network, policies tighten and the alerts multiply.
| Area | Sign-ins from anywhere | Registered NexIP exits |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in alerts | Hotels and hotspots get flagged as unfamiliar | The same exit daily, a clean log |
| Conditional access | Only coarse country-level rules | Exit IPs registered as named locations |
| GitHub organisation list | Home addresses change, so the list does too | Register fixed IPs once |
| Staff changes | Dig through logs for every network used | Retire that person's one IP |
A Copilot residential proxy and datacenter mix by role: monthly per-IP pricing for fixed exits and packs for short-term IPs; checkout shows the final price.
For personal accounts and Office seats: one local home-broadband exit per person, renewed monthly.
For cloud dev boxes and servers: one dedicated datacenter IP covers a whole fleet.
For developer laptops: residential-registered at a lower cost, suited to larger engineering teams.
One agent test per market on 1–24 hour leases, bought as needed.
HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 all work, with username-and-password or IP-allowlist auth; set it once each in the editor, git and the browser.
Before rollout, one command should return the same IP you registered as a named location.
curl -x http://USER:PASS@GATEWAY:PORT https://example.com/Add one line to VS Code's settings.json and GitHub Copilot completions and chat leave from that exit.
"http.proxy": "http://USER:PASS@GATEWAY:PORT"Pushes and pulls use the same fixed IP, so the organisation list holds one address.
git config --global http.proxy http://USER:PASS@GATEWAY:PORTPick by use: personal accounts and Office seats suit native ISP IPs (From $5/IP/month), developer laptops broadcast residential, cloud dev boxes datacenter IPs and agent tests short-term IPs (From $0.17/IP). Rotating IPs change, so keep them away from sign-ins.
Usually staff hop between hotel, hotspot and home networks. Give each person one fixed home-broadband exit for Office apps and the browser; with the same location daily, alerts and repeat MFA prompts drop sharply.
In the Microsoft Entra admin center, create a named location with your team's fixed exit IPs, mark it trusted and reference it in your conditional access policies. The IPs don't change during the lease, so the policy stays put.
In VS Code, set http.proxy in settings.json; in JetBrains, enter host, port and credentials under the HTTP proxy settings. Completions and Copilot Chat then use that exit.
Give developers fixed exits and add those IPs to the organisation's list. Laptops on broadcast residential and cloud dev boxes on one datacenter IP keep the list short and easy to maintain.
Give your Microsoft account one native ISP IP. Edge and the Copilot app on Windows follow the system proxy, so enter host and port in Windows settings (IP-allowlist auth is simplest there); on a phone, use the Wi-Fi proxy settings. With web, desktop and phone on one IP, the account's sign-in location never moves.
Native ISP, broadcast residential and datacenter IPs bill per IP per month (From $3/IP/month); short-term IPs come in packs (From $0.17/IP) that don't expire.
