How do I target Oakland in the proxy username?

You pick Oakland by adding city-oakland (and state-ca) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.

  • USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-oakland: rotating Oakland IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-oakland-zip-94605: narrows to ZIP 94605, one of 16 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-oakland-asn-7922: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Oakland.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-oakland-session-oakl01-ttl-20: keeps one Oakland 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. Test with one request before you script a run, and widen to the state if a filter is too narrow. Details: city-level targeting.

Which internet providers serve homes in Oakland?

Oakland counts 206,454 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Xfinity (99%), AT&T (97%) and Sonic (61%), by share of units covered. By technology, fiber covers 81% of addresses, cable 96%, and 94% can order a gigabit wired plan. Fixed-wireless home internet is offered by T-Mobile Home Internet (76%) and Verizon 5G Home (69%).

A residential IP in Oakland is announced by the provider of the home it comes from. The FCC shares above tell you which networks to expect; the ASN targeting page shows how to pin one, for example AS7922 for Xfinity.

What local details matter when you test from Oakland?

With 443,554 residents in 2024, Oakland ranks 45 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population grew 0.7% since 2020. It anchors or belongs to the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA metro area (4.65 million people), which also includes San Francisco, Fremont and Hayward.

For tests that read local details, expect area codes 341 and 510, Pacific Time and ZIP codes such as 94605, 94621 and 94607. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone America/Los_Angeles and the language in your browser or tool yourself. Prices shown to California shoppers usually exclude sales tax: the state rate is 7.25%, and state plus average local rates come to 9.03% (Tax Foundation, July 2026). California has a consumer privacy law in force, the CCPA/CPRA (since January 1, 2020).

What else do people ask about Oakland proxies?

How do I target Xfinity in Oakland?

Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-oakland-asn-7922 asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 99% of Oakland 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 Oakland proxy server and a residential proxy?

A free Oakland 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 Oakland, CA, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Oakland segment is country-us-state-ca-city-oakland.

How many Oakland IPs does MetroProxies have?

MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Oakland 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 Oakland IP for several minutes?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-oakland-session-oakl01-ttl-20 keeps one Oakland 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 Oakland IP.

What phone area code should an Oakland test use?

Oakland numbers use 341 and 510; 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 Oakland?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 16 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Oakland, among them 94605, 94621, 94607 and 94611 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.
