Write the city into the proxy username. For Chesapeake, the segment is `city-chesapeake`, and it works best with the state segment `state-va` in front of it. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-chesapeake`: rotating Chesapeake IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-chesapeake-zip-23322`: narrows to ZIP 23322, one of 6 ZIP areas mostly inside the city. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-chesapeake-asn-22773`: asks for an IP on Cox's network (AS22773) when one is online in Chesapeake. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-chesapeake-session-ches01-ttl-15`: keeps one Chesapeake 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. 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](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## Which internet providers serve homes in Chesapeake? Home internet in Chesapeake is led by Cox, which the FCC map shows at 91% of 104,998 residential units, followed by Verizon Fios (85%) (December 2025 data). 77% of Chesapeake homes can order fiber and 86% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 91%. T-Mobile Home Internet (79%) and AT&T Internet Air (65%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless). These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Chesapeake exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS22773 is Cox) before you compare results between runs. ## What local details matter when you test from Chesapeake? With 254,997 residents in 2024, Chesapeake ranks 92 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population grew 2.3% since 2020. The city is part of the Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk, VA-NC metropolitan area, shared with [Virginia Beach](https://metroproxies.com/cities/virginia-beach-va/), [Norfolk](https://metroproxies.com/cities/norfolk-va/) and [Newport News](https://metroproxies.com/cities/newport-news-va/); the metro had 1,794,278 residents in 2024. Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Chesapeake phone numbers use area codes 757 and 948, clocks run on Eastern Time (`America/New_York`), and 6 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Sales tax in Virginia: 5.3% at state level, 5.77% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Data collected about Virginia residents falls under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA). ## How much do Chesapeake residential proxies cost?

Prices in USD. ## What else do people ask about Chesapeake proxies? ### Does a Chesapeake IP set the local time on my tool? No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Chesapeake uses Eastern Time (UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer); set `America/New_York` and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them. ### Which Chesapeake ZIP codes can I request? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 6 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Chesapeake, among them 23322, 23323, 23320 and 23321 (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 Chesapeake proxy server the same as a residential proxy? Not always. "Chesapeake proxy server" means any proxy with a Chesapeake 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 Chesapeake, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write `country-us-state-va-city-chesapeake` in the username; plans start at $1.50. ### Does Virginia law change how I can use a Chesapeake proxy? MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. Virginia's VCDPA governs how businesses handle personal data of residents, and each site's terms still apply. Collect only public data and follow the [acceptable use policy](https://metroproxies.com/acceptable-use/). ### Can I get a Chesapeake IP from one internet provider? Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-chesapeake-asn-22773` asks for Cox (AS22773). Per the FCC map, Cox serves 91% of Chesapeake homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost. ### How do I hold one Chesapeake IP during a session? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-chesapeake-session-ches01-ttl-15` keeps one Chesapeake exit for up to 15 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 Chesapeake IP. ## Which other Virginia cities can I target? - [Virginia Beach, VA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/virginia-beach-va/) — 454,808 residents - [Richmond, VA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/richmond-va/) — 233,655 residents - [Norfolk, VA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/norfolk-va/) — 231,105 residents - [Newport News, VA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/newport-news-va/) — 183,056 residents - [Alexandria, VA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/alexandria-va/) — 159,102 residents ## Which large South cities are close in size to Chesapeake? - [Port St. Lucie, FL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/port-st-lucie-fl/) — 258,575 residents - [Irving, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/irving-tx/) — 258,060 residents - [Winston-Salem, NC](https://metroproxies.com/cities/winston-salem-nc/) — 255,769 residents - [Garland, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/garland-tx/) — 250,431 residents - [Hialeah, FL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/hialeah-fl/) — 235,388 residents - [Frisco, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/frisco-tx/) — 235,208 residents **Test Chesapeake with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
