You pick Irvine by adding `city-irvine` (and `state-ca`) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-irvine`: rotating Irvine IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-irvine-zip-92618`: narrows to ZIP 92618, one of 10 ZIP areas mostly inside the city. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-irvine-asn-22773`: asks for an IP on Cox's network (AS22773) when one is online in Irvine. - `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-irvine-session-irvi01-ttl-15`: keeps one Irvine 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. Test with one request before you script a run, and widen to the state if a filter is too narrow. Details: [city-level targeting](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## Which internet providers serve homes in Irvine? Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Cox reports wired service to 96% of Irvine's 117,438 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are AT&T (76%) and Google Fiber (35%). Fiber is available to 54% of homes and cable to 76%; copper DSL lines still reach 38%. Verizon 5G Home (73%) and T-Mobile Home Internet (73%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless). A residential IP in Irvine is announced by the provider of the home it comes from. The FCC shares above tell you which networks to expect; the [ASN targeting page](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/asn/) shows how to pin one, for example AS22773 for Cox. ## What local details matter when you test from Irvine? Irvine had 318,683 residents on July 1, 2024 (+3.6% since April 2020), per the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates. The city is part of the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA metropolitan area, shared with [Los Angeles](https://metroproxies.com/cities/los-angeles-ca/), [Long Beach](https://metroproxies.com/cities/long-beach-ca/), [Anaheim](https://metroproxies.com/cities/anaheim-ca/) and [Santa Ana](https://metroproxies.com/cities/santa-ana-ca/); the metro had 12,927,614 residents in 2024. For tests that read local details, expect area code 949, Pacific Time and ZIP codes such as 92618, 92603 and 92602. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone `America/Los_Angeles` and the language in your browser or tool yourself. Sales tax in California: 7.25% at state level, 9.03% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Data collected about California residents falls under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). ## How much do Irvine residential proxies cost? Irvine traffic costs the same as any other US city: $1.50 for 1 GB, $5.94 for 10 GB, and from $0.50/GB on the larger plans, as of October 2026. City, state, ZIP and ASN targeting are included in every plan, and unused GB never expire. ### Which plan fits an Irvine test? | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Test | 1 GB | $1.50 | $1.50/GB | | Local | 10 GB | $5.94 | $0.59/GB | | National | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB | | Terabyte | 1 TB | $500 | $0.50/GB | Pay in crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The top-up is the price of the plan you choose, less any balance you already have, and at least $25; anything left stays on your balance. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Prices in USD. ## What else do people ask about Irvine proxies? ### Does an Irvine IP set the local time on my tool? No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Irvine uses Pacific Time (UTC−8, UTC−7 in summer); set `America/Los_Angeles` and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them. ### Which Irvine ZIP codes can I request? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 10 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Irvine, among them 92618, 92603, 92602 and 92612 (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 Irvine proxy server the same as a residential proxy? Not always. "Irvine proxy server" means any proxy with an Irvine 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 Irvine, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write `country-us-state-ca-city-irvine` in the username; plans start at $1.50. ### Does California law change how I can use an Irvine proxy? MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. California's CCPA/CPRA 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 an Irvine IP from one internet provider? Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-irvine-asn-22773` asks for Cox (AS22773). Per the FCC map, Cox serves 96% of Irvine 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 Irvine IP during a session? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-irvine-session-irvi01-ttl-15` keeps one Irvine 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 Irvine IP. ## Which other California cities can I target? - [Los Angeles, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/los-angeles-ca/) — 3,878,704 residents - [San Diego, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-diego-ca/) — 1,404,452 residents - [San Jose, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-jose-ca/) — 997,368 residents - [San Francisco, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-francisco-ca/) — 827,526 residents - [Fresno, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/fresno-ca/) — 550,105 residents - [Sacramento, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/sacramento-ca/) — 535,798 residents - [Long Beach, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/long-beach-ca/) — 450,901 residents - [Oakland, CA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/oakland-ca/) — 443,554 residents ## Which large West cities are close in size to Irvine? - [North Las Vegas, NV](https://metroproxies.com/cities/north-las-vegas-nv/) — 294,034 residents - [Anchorage, AK](https://metroproxies.com/cities/anchorage-ak/) — 289,600 residents **Test Irvine with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
