How do I target Cleveland in the proxy username?

Cleveland targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put state-oh-city-cleveland after the country, and connect to gw.metroproxies.com.

  • USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland: rotating Cleveland IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-zip-44135: narrows to ZIP 44135, one of 16 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-asn-7018: asks for an IP on AT&T's network (AS7018) when one is online in Cleveland.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-session-clev01-ttl-30: keeps one Cleveland 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. Test with one request before you script a run, and widen to the state if a filter is too narrow. Details: city-level targeting.

Which internet providers serve homes in Cleveland?

Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), AT&T reports wired service to 97% of Cleveland's 215,955 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are Spectrum (97%). 46% of Cleveland homes can order fiber and 96% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 98%. T-Mobile Home Internet (81%) and Verizon 5G Home (72%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).

What this means for a Cleveland proxy: a residential exit IP belongs to whichever home network the device uses, so AT&T addresses are the most common kind in the city, but not the only one. Look up the ASN of the exit IP you get, and use asn- targeting when a test must run on one provider.

What local details matter when you test from Cleveland?

The Census Bureau counts 365,379 people in Cleveland for July 2024, down 1.9% from the April 2020 base. The city is part of the Cleveland, OH metropolitan area; the metro had 2,171,877 residents in 2024.

Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Cleveland phone numbers use area code 216, clocks run on Eastern Time (America/New_York), and 16 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Sales tax in Ohio: 5.75% at state level, 7.29% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Ohio had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026.

What else do people ask about Cleveland proxies?

Which Cleveland ZIP codes can I request?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 16 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Cleveland, among them 44135, 44109, 44105 and 44111 (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 Cleveland proxy server the same as a residential proxy?

Not always. "Cleveland proxy server" means any proxy with a Cleveland 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 Cleveland, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland in the username; plans start at $1.50.

Can I get a Cleveland IP from one internet provider?

Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-asn-7018 asks for AT&T (AS7018). Per the FCC map, AT&T serves 97% of Cleveland homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

Does a Cleveland IP set the local time on my tool?

No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Cleveland 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.

How do I hold one Cleveland IP during a session?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-oh-city-cleveland-session-clev01-ttl-30 keeps one Cleveland 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 Cleveland IP.

Which area codes belong to Cleveland?

Cleveland numbers use area code 216 (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests.
