How do I target Raleigh in the proxy username?
Write the city into the proxy username. For Raleigh, the segment is city-raleigh, and it works best with the state segment state-nc in front of it.
USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-raleigh: rotating Raleigh IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-raleigh-zip-27612: narrows to ZIP 27612, one of 12 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-raleigh-asn-20115: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Raleigh.USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-raleigh-session-rale01-ttl-30: keeps one Raleigh IP for up to 30 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.
City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. When Raleigh has no matching IP online, widen to state-nc and retry later. See how city targeting works.
Which internet providers serve homes in Raleigh?
Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Spectrum (Charter) reports wired service to 94% of Raleigh's 239,777 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are AT&T (93%) and Google Fiber (52%). 73% of Raleigh homes can order fiber and 92% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 98%. T-Mobile Home Internet (86%) and Verizon 5G Home (80%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).
What this means for a Raleigh proxy: a residential exit IP belongs to whichever home network the device uses, so Spectrum addresses are the most common kind in the city, but not the only one. Look up the ASN of the exit IP you get, and use asn- targeting when a test must run on one provider.

What else do people ask about Raleigh proxies?
Which Raleigh ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 12 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Raleigh, among them 27612, 27607, 27616 and 27615 (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 Raleigh proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "Raleigh proxy server" means any proxy with a Raleigh 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 Raleigh, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-nc-city-raleigh in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Can I get a Raleigh IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-raleigh-asn-20115 asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 94% of Raleigh homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
Does a Raleigh IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Raleigh 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.
How do I hold one Raleigh IP during a session?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-nc-city-raleigh-session-rale01-ttl-30 keeps one Raleigh 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 Raleigh IP.
Which area codes belong to Raleigh?
Raleigh numbers use 919 and 984; 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.
