Protect your privacy online, speed up page load times, and experience the Internet without the distraction of annoying ads! Installs in seconds.

Click Edit in the top-hand menu and then press Preferences. #2Set the Proxy to HTTPS and enter these details as your host and port:Host: 213.203.241.210Port: 80Make sure your settings look like mine:Now, play your favorite music without ads interrupting!
Comment back if this works for you! Other notesA reader by the name Christoffer had an idea about how this fix works. Here’s what he said:But I’m pretty sure that I understand why it did work before. They seem to have targeted the ads to the countries in which it was possible to register for spotify only, so if you used a proxy from a country with no ads, you wouldn’t get any at all.Sounds like a reasonable explanation, does it not? PayalMIstry, it is very clear that by your way of writing that your no where near 32 year old.
I would guess at around 13-16. Second please explain how using a french proxy could cause things to crash? People who know what a proxy is understand that using it would not cause things to crash. Also please copy and paste the section in the terms that says using a proxy is illegal. Futher explain what law is broken that is so serious that it would get you in jail?Oh i’,m GOD btw. Nice to meet you mr 32 yrs old design and copyright assistant.
This used to work and probebly did when the article was written. But when people started to write aricles like this one they made spotify aware of the bug(or that we knew about it) and they fixed it so it will not work any more, now they will give you ads from the country you have filled in your profile.And to Payal, if this is illegal how come Spotify added the function for using proxy? Also why would a proxy cause the program to crash?Like Endasil said your writing makes it kind of clear that you are not 32 and even if you where what diffrence would it make?. This isn’t strictly true. This technique does not “eliminate ads” for the general population, and companies will still pay Spotify to advertise on their client. Just because we don’t hear them doesn’t mean advertisements aren’t being run. Besides, companies don’t pay for advertisements based on how many people buy their products as a result, so what difference does it make if we choose to ignore them, as we always have in the past?So you are aware that premium subscriptions are not anywhere close to their only source of revenue yes?
Not to mention, people who would go out of their way to find work arounds like this aren’t exactly the type who would or could pay for a monthly subscription. I mean, really? Yeah, the ads are a little annoying, but c’mon. Spotify is about the best thing to happen for music fans on the internet, why threaten their revenues? They’re an honest firm of Swedes with good intentions for music. If this catches on and Spotify struggles financially as a result, we’re left with the option of illegal downloading, which whilst easy, is ultimately counter-productive because most of us who are passionate about music tend to listen to bands who need the money, not the commercial-sellout-second-rate nonsense WB and EMI would love to ram down our throats.Put up with an occasional ad for goodness sake!
You don’t have to pay any money, click on the ad or anything else. And no, I don’t work for Spotify (wish I did tho!) and no, I don’t work in the music industry. If this could get you in jail i would be amazed by the really awesome lawyers that designed the EULA.@PayalMIstry You clearly have no clue on what you’re talking about. As long as you use a proxy you can trust there’s nothing that will possibly wreck your account or anything. As long as Spotify doesn’t decide to ban all spotify accounts connecting through US for example. That’s unlikely.Haven’t tried it long enough to get a result.
But i can see how this would work. It’s most likely gonna be fixed sometime. (I’m most probably bypassing the regional ads atm, if i choose a location without regional ads i will not have any I assume. Global ads will probably go though still, just guessing though). This technique of using proxies does work – what it does is redirect your Spotify account to seem as though it is coming from a different country (one that Spotify has not yet added any ads for).
However, as Spotify add support for ads to more and more countries, this will mean that such proxies are more and more difficult to find. If you are happy to have to search for a new proxy every few weeks, then fine.Alternatively, you can just restart Spotify when an ad comes along, at when you start playing again, it will think that the ad has already happened. If you can’t be bothered to do this, then do what I do – mute the volume when the ad starts. This will cause it to pause, but you can just hit play again, and listen to a silent ad.So, in conclusion, this does work, but there are other solutions as well. Good luck in choosing the one that’s best for you!Junaid.
Alternatively, you can use other services. ? My favorite is Grooveshark, it works in your browser, ads are only in a banner on the side (and are not changing from side to bottom), and there are no audio ads. No limitations of 20 hours, you can play songs as many times as you want. (and it is available in all countries)Only downsides are the ads (which can be removed through a google chrome extension) and there are sometimes multiple copies of songs.Good parts are that there are almost no limitations, ads can be removed (at least in google chrome) Grooveshark keeps improving at least, give other streaming services a try.
Spotify is overhyped, and there are lots of equally good services out there (if not better) I honestly think they are worth the try. All of the low-life fucks who said anything along the lines of, “Who are we to steal music?”, i would greatly appreciate it if you just kept in mind your the muck of any society.1. You’re too stupid to even think of another situation other than your own2. You must fucking LOVE hearing hipster shit with absolutely NO relevance to anything Ive ever done or ever will be interested in, and having the mood and lifesets of things fucked in the ass OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER3. EVERY person has EVERY right to pirate and get music for free if Spotify is going to decapitate us and shit down our throats in the worst manor they could have come up with.Now to go and eventually forget i ever even posted something here, which all of it was simply story, and all of it neither reflects my opinions, nor does it not reflect my opinions. To the guys not able to connect after using a proxy.
All that has happened is that either Spotify has blocked the proxy, or the proxy is no longer online (Most likely reason). There are thousands of proxy lists on the internet, but to be honest I wouldn’t bother for three reasons: Proxies can be very slow, and some can take a while to connect. You have to search for new ones every time the proxy goes down. You have to spend time searching for a proxy from a country that doesn’t have ads. The best thing to do is use Blockify. If you use Blockify, it will automatically mute audio ads for you, which is good for you and also good for Spotify, as the ads still run so it won’t affect their revenue. It also doesn’t slow things down.
Play it safe and use Blockify, or one of the many others that basically do the same thing. Due to the latest post about ads being from 2011 I am going to bet that people got used to it.I am also going to assume that the only.mad. people about the ads are just trolls looking to complain and.refusing. to use Spotify will not mean a darn thing to the owners as they will be glad to get rid of you trolls.Just like Google + or the health care things will smooth themselves out as they always do. I have notice those who come up with.conspiracy. theories tend to not hang around much to actually see the results.
I think I managed to do it. I’m not entirely sure but I DO know that I have managed to get rid of the banner ads at the bottom of the screen. I keep you updated if I get any sound ads, its been 5+ songs so far and nothing! ?How I did this:I opened up Wireshark and started clicking on stuff that I knew would make Spotify interact with the ad servers and started examining the packet traffic. Every time I would see any kind of url I would add it to my /etc/hosts file, and save it and just keep doing that over and over until I had a list that blocked most if not all of the ad servers.Mac Users: You’re on your own, google it ?Linux users:Copy this list to your “/etc/hosts” file. If you are wanting to block ads on spotify good luck bc the dev of spotify made it REALLY hard to block ads. Some programs can be used to “block” the sound from the ads.
If you are truely wanted the ads blocked use if you’re using chrome then go to and it will block the ads on the site but this is bc spotify cannot control ad blockers in chrome but they can in there own program files So removing ads from the program files are next to impossible they’re covered up and if you do mange to delete them, spotify will just end up downloading the files for the ads again.
