How do I target Aurora in the proxy username?
Aurora targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put state-il-city-aurora after the country, and connect to gw.metroproxies.com.
USERNAME-country-us-state-il-city-aurora: rotating Aurora IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-il-city-aurora-zip-60506: narrows to ZIP 60506, one of 5 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-il-city-aurora-asn-7922: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Aurora.USERNAME-country-us-state-il-city-aurora-session-auro01-ttl-15: keeps one Aurora IP for up to 15 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.
City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. When Aurora has no matching IP online, widen to state-il and retry later. See how city targeting works.
Which internet providers serve homes in Aurora?
Home internet in Aurora is led by Xfinity (Comcast), which the FCC map shows at 100% of 64,468 residential units, followed by AT&T (91%) (December 2025 data). 32% of Aurora homes can order fiber and 99% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 95%. T-Mobile Home Internet (81%) and Verizon 5G Home (62%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).
These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Aurora exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS7922 is Xfinity) before you compare results between runs.
What local details matter when you test from Aurora?
Aurora had 180,710 residents on July 1, 2024 (+0.1% since April 2020), per the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates. The city is part of the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN metropolitan area, shared with Chicago, Naperville and Joliet; the metro had 9,408,576 residents in 2024.
For tests that read local details, expect area codes 331 and 630, Central Time and ZIP codes such as 60506, 60502 and 60505. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone America/Chicago and the language in your browser or tool yourself. Sales tax in Illinois: 6.25% at state level, 8.98% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Illinois has no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force; note the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which covers fingerprints, face and voice data.

What else do people ask about Aurora proxies?
How do I avoid getting Aurora, CO instead of Aurora, IL?
Always send the state segment with the city: state-il-city-aurora. Two cities on this site share the name Aurora, and the state keeps the request in Illinois. Then check the exit IP in a geolocation database before you run the job.
Does an Aurora IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Aurora uses Central Time (UTC−6, UTC−5 in summer); set America/Chicago and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.
Which Aurora ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 5 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Aurora, among them 60506, 60502, 60505 and 60504 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.
Is an Aurora proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "Aurora proxy server" means any proxy with an Aurora IP; public free lists mostly show shared data-center or open servers that change often. A residential proxy sends your request through a home connection in Aurora, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-il-city-aurora in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Does Illinois law change how I can use an Aurora proxy?
MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. Illinois has no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force, but note the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), which covers fingerprints, face and voice data, and each site's terms still apply. Collect only public data and follow the acceptable use policy.
Can I get an Aurora IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-il-city-aurora-asn-7922 asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 100% of Aurora homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
Which other Illinois cities can I target?
- Chicago, IL 2,721,308 residents
- Naperville, IL 153,124 residents
- Joliet, IL 151,837 residents
