How do I target Brownsville in the proxy username?
You pick Brownsville by adding city-brownsville (and state-tx) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.
USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville: rotating Brownsville IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-zip-78526: narrows to ZIP 78526, one of 2 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-asn-20115: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Brownsville.USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-session-brow01-ttl-30: keeps one Brownsville IP for up to 30 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.
City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. If a narrow request returns errors, drop the ZIP or ASN segment first, then the city. The full format is on the city targeting page.
Which internet providers serve homes in Brownsville?
Brownsville counts 73,689 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Spectrum (93%), AT&T (68%) and Omni Fiber (35%), by share of units covered. Fiber is available to 44% of homes and cable to 93%; copper DSL lines still reach 44%. Verizon 5G Home (74%) and T-Mobile Home Internet (70%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).
These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Brownsville exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS20115 is Spectrum) before you compare results between runs.

What else do people ask about Brownsville proxies?
Which Brownsville ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 2 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Brownsville, among them 78526 and 78520 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.
Is a Brownsville proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "Brownsville proxy server" means any proxy with a Brownsville 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 Brownsville, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Can I get a Brownsville IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-asn-20115 asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 93% of Brownsville homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
Does a Brownsville IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Brownsville 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.
How do I hold one Brownsville IP during a session?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-tx-city-brownsville-session-brow01-ttl-30 keeps one Brownsville exit for up to 30 minutes. Sessions last up to 30 minutes; the IP can change earlier if the residential device goes offline. Use a new session ID to get a new Brownsville IP.
Which area codes belong to Brownsville?
Brownsville numbers use area code 956 (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests.
