Norfolk targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put state-va-city-norfolk after the country, and connect to gw.metroproxies.com.

Norfolk counts 111,693 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Cox (92%), Verizon Fios (61%) and Metronet (56%), by share of units covered. 60% of Norfolk homes can order fiber and 83% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 96%. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (82%) and AT&T Internet Air (65%).
These shares describe the market, not our pool. The network behind a given Norfolk exit depends on which residential device is online, so check the IP's ASN (AS22773 is Cox) before you compare results between runs.
Norfolk had 231,105 residents on July 1, 2024 (−2.9% since April 2020), per the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates. It anchors or belongs to the Virginia Beach-Chesapeake-Norfolk, VA-NC metro area (1.79 million people), which also includes Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Newport News.
For tests that read local details, expect area codes 757 and 948, Eastern Time and ZIP codes such as 23502, 23505 and 23518. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone America/New_York and the language in your browser or tool yourself. Prices shown to Virginia shoppers usually exclude sales tax: the state rate is 5.3%, and state plus average local rates come to 5.77% (Tax Foundation, July 2026). Virginia has a consumer privacy law in force, the VCDPA (since January 1, 2023).

Pay in crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). The top-up is the price of the plan you choose, less any balance you already have, and at least $25; anything left stays on your balance. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Prices in USD.
A free Norfolk 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 Norfolk, VA, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Norfolk segment is country-us-state-va-city-norfolk.
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-norfolk-session-norf01-ttl-10 keeps one Norfolk 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 Norfolk IP.
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 14 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Norfolk, among them 23502, 23505, 23518 and 23511 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-norfolk-asn-22773 asks for Cox (AS22773). Per the FCC map, Cox serves 92% of Norfolk homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Norfolk 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.
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Norfolk 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.
