What else do people ask about Madison proxies?
Which Madison ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 13 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Madison, among them 53704, 53718, 53719 and 53705 (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 Madison proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "Madison proxy server" means any proxy with a Madison 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 Madison, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-wi-city-madison in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Can I get a Madison IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-wi-city-madison-asn-20115 asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 95% of Madison homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
Does a Madison IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Madison uses Central Time (UTC−6, UTC−5 in summer); set America/Chicago and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.
How do I hold one Madison IP during a session?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-wi-city-madison-session-madi01-ttl-30 keeps one Madison 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 Madison IP.
Which area codes belong to Madison?
Madison numbers use 353 and 608; these codes overlay the same area, so any of them is local (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests.
