#1
Open Spotify and log in with your credentials. Click Edit in the top-hand menu and then press Preferences….
#2
Set the Proxy to HTTPS and enter these details as your host and port:
Host: 213.203.241.210
Port: 80
Make sure your settings look like mine:
Now, play your favorite music without ads interrupting! Comment back if this works for you!
Other notes
A 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?
gg :P i got it, but its spanish commercials thats coming up all the time…
I used to use this proxy. Now its doesn’t work and delivers advertisements in Spanish. Any chance of a different/new no-ads proxy?
Hi Douglas!
http://www.xroxy.com
Search for proxys in the “proxy list” and copy it and paste it in your spotify preferences. There is countries that doesn´t have any spotify commercial. It´s countries lika Kazakhstan or other smaller countries. If too many people use the same prxoy adress they will see this and block the proxy. Then it will look like you are offline and you can´t listen. Go to http://www.xroxy.com and press “proxy list” next to the red marked button on the upper part of the page. Then you can search for any proxy. You must have a Proxy with port: 80.
High numbers like “360″.
It has to be fast so seconds or what it says write the lessest you can choose!
I hope you can fix this now =) It works superb for me!
When you do this make sure you have the xroxy.com page in front of you. Good luck all and have a nice commercial free spotify! =D

It’s a lot slower though…
Doesn’t work btw, don’t waste your time
geosnt worrk.. i still get ads… but in french
didnt work, now i get commercial on other language but still interrupts music..
omg, it actually worked!
I’ve tried like loads before and none of them worked, but this definately did :)
Anders;
Dette lille frekke trikset virker desverre ikke i Norge, ettersom at Spotify har fÃ¥tt leiet noen servere her ogsÃ¥ … Noe som egentlig ikke skal nÃ¥ det offentlige!
doesn’t work for me – french account
Works fine for me in England.
seems to work!!!!
DONT DO THAT!!! I JUST RESEARCHED THIS AND ITS ILLEGAL!!!!!!!! I JUST TRIED IT MYSELF AND IT ALMOST CRASHED THE WHOLE THING. ARE OU GUYSS STUPUD OR SOMETHINGGGG! GET IT OF UNLESS U WANNA GO TO JAILL
Don’t worry, Payal, this will not get you in jail.
I can´t connect to spotify when i have done this.. What is the problem? :O
why should i worry Douglas i haven’t dun what it says on here. and I’m mistaken u wont get in jail but this thing is sort of illegal and crashes trust me im 32 and i work for spotify i’m one of the assistant for designing and copyright intended personnel worker . i doo a verrry verry little job but ive learnt alot. u can research me if ya want but take it to someone u knows more than spotify okk.
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. :)
Workt alittle ;o i can listen to ca8 songs, then 2 smal ads..
finally bought spotify premium, works great online, offline, pc and mobile
works great and is worth paying
Just skipped about 5 songs or so to the end and it seems to work fine :) will post back if there is anything I notice
Nope doesnt acctually work when I pressed next I got an advert…
It worked for me! (finland)
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?
It works!!!! :)
It works!!! (in Finland) Thanks a lot! :)
doesnt work for me, it behaves exactly the same (UK)
PS apologies, it does once I changed to HTTPS.
Goody goody, well done
PSS
it works for a bit at least
