## How do I target Macon in the proxy username?

Macon targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put `state-ga-city-macon` after the country, and connect to `gw.metroproxies.com`.

- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ga-city-macon`: rotating Macon IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ga-city-macon-zip-31216`: narrows to ZIP 31216, one of 9 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ga-city-macon-asn-22773`: asks for an IP on Cox's network (AS22773) when one is online in Macon.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ga-city-macon-session-maco01-ttl-10`: keeps one Macon IP for up to 10 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 Macon?

Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Cox reports wired service to 88% of Macon's 79,946 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are AT&T (69%). By technology, fiber covers 40% of addresses, cable 85%, and 81% can order a gigabit wired plan. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (69%) and Verizon 5G Home (57%).

These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Macon exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS22773 is Cox) before you compare results between runs.

Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Macon phone numbers use area code 478, clocks run on Eastern Time (`America/New_York`), and 9 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city.

Georgia had no comprehensive consumer privacy law in force in October 2026.

## What else do people ask about Macon proxies?

### What is the difference between a free Macon proxy server and a residential proxy?

A free Macon 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 Macon, GA, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Macon segment is `country-us-state-ga-city-macon`.

### Can I keep the same Macon IP for several minutes?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ga-city-macon-session-maco01-ttl-10` keeps one Macon exit for up to 10 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 Macon IP.

### Can I target a ZIP code inside Macon?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 9 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Macon, among them 31216, 31052, 31210 and 31206 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.

### How do I target Cox in Macon?

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ga-city-macon-asn-22773` asks for Cox (AS22773). Per the FCC map, Cox serves 88% of Macon homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.

### How many Macon IPs does MetroProxies have?

MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Macon 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.

### Will a Macon proxy change my browser's time zone?

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