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](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/). ## 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 local details matter when you test from Newark? Newark had 317,303 residents on July 1, 2024 (+1.8% since April 2020), per the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates. It anchors or belongs to the New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ metro area (19.94 million people), which also includes [New York City](https://metroproxies.com/cities/new-york-city-ny/), [Jersey City](https://metroproxies.com/cities/jersey-city-nj/), [Yonkers](https://metroproxies.com/cities/yonkers-ny/) and [Paterson](https://metroproxies.com/cities/paterson-nj/). Newark uses Eastern Time (America/New_York), the 862 and 973 area codes and 9 ZIP areas. Match those in your test setup; the proxy only sets where the IP is. Prices shown to New Jersey shoppers usually exclude sales tax: the state rate is 6.63%, and state plus average local rates come to 6.6% (Tax Foundation, July 2026). New Jersey has a consumer privacy law in force, the NJDPA (since January 15, 2025). ## How much do Newark residential proxies cost? As of October 2026, Newark residential proxies use the standard price list: 10 GB for $5.94, 100 GB for $50, down to $0.50/GB at volume. Targeting by city, ZIP or ASN is part of every plan. ### Which plan fits a Newark 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).

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-nj-city-newark-asn-6128` asks for Optimum (AS6128). Per the FCC map, Optimum serves 95% of Newark 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 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. ### Can I target a ZIP code inside Newark? Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 9 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Newark, among them 07114, 07105, 07104 and 07103 (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 New Jersey cities can I target? - [Jersey City, NJ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/jersey-city-nj/) — 302,824 residents - [Paterson, NJ](https://metroproxies.com/cities/paterson-nj/) — 160,463 residents ## Which large Northeast cities are close in size to Newark? - [New York City, NY](https://metroproxies.com/cities/new-york-city-ny/) — 8,478,072 residents - [Philadelphia, PA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/philadelphia-pa/) — 1,573,916 residents - [Boston, MA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/boston-ma/) — 673,458 residents - [Pittsburgh, PA](https://metroproxies.com/cities/pittsburgh-pa/) — 307,668 residents - [Buffalo, NY](https://metroproxies.com/cities/buffalo-ny/) — 276,617 residents **Test Newark with 1 GB** 1 GB for $1.50, city targeting included.
