Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ky-city-lexington-asn-20115` asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 94% of Lexington homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost. ### What is the difference between a free Lexington proxy server and a residential proxy? A free Lexington proxy server from a public list is usually a shared data-center or open machine, with no owner you can contact and no rules of use. A MetroProxies residential proxy routes through a home connection in Lexington, KY, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Lexington segment is `country-us-state-ky-city-lexington`. ### How many Lexington IPs does MetroProxies have? MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Lexington changes through the day. City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. Start with the 1 GB plan ($1.50) to test your own targets before you buy volume. ### Can I keep the same Lexington IP for several minutes? Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ky-city-lexington-session-lexi01-ttl-20` keeps one Lexington exit for up to 20 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 Lexington IP. ### What phone area code should a Lexington test use? Lexington numbers use area code 859 (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests. ### Can I target a ZIP code inside Lexington? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 16 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Lexington, among them 40511, 40515, 40509 and 40516 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors. ## Which other Kentucky cities can I target? - [Louisville, KY](https://metroproxies.com/cities/louisville-ky/) — 640,796 residents ## Which large South cities are close in size to Lexington? - [Arlington, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/arlington-tx/) — 403,672 residents - [New Orleans, LA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/new-orleans-la/) — 362,701 residents - [Orlando, FL](https://metroproxies.com/cities/orlando-fl/) — 334,854 residents - [Corpus Christi, TX](https://metroproxies.com/cities/corpus-christi-tx/) — 317,317 residents - [Greensboro, NC](https://metroproxies.com/cities/greensboro-nc/) — 307,381 residents - [Durham, NC](https://metroproxies.com/cities/durham-nc/) — 301,870 residents **Test Lexington with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
