How do I target Newark in the proxy username?
Write the city into the proxy username. For Newark, the segment is city-newark, and it works best with the state segment state-nj in front of it.
USERNAME-country-us-state-nj-city-newark: rotating Newark IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-nj-city-newark-zip-07114: narrows to ZIP 07114, one of 9 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-nj-city-newark-asn-6128: asks for an IP on Optimum's network (AS6128) when one is online in Newark.USERNAME-country-us-state-nj-city-newark-session-newa01-ttl-20: keeps one Newark IP for up to 20 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.
Which internet providers serve homes in Newark?
Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Optimum reports wired service to 95% of Newark's 125,997 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are Verizon Fios (87%). Fiber is available to 88% of homes and cable to 96%. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (75%) and AT&T Internet Air (62%).
These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Newark exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS6128 is Optimum) before you compare results between runs.

What is the difference between a free Newark proxy server and a residential proxy?
A free Newark 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 Newark, NJ, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Newark segment is country-us-state-nj-city-newark.
How many Newark IPs does MetroProxies have?
MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Newark 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 Newark IP for several minutes?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-nj-city-newark-session-newa01-ttl-20 keeps one Newark 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 Newark IP.
What phone area code should a Newark test use?
Newark numbers use 862 and 973; 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.
