How do I target Richmond in the proxy username?
Richmond targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put state-va-city-richmond after the country, and connect to gw.metroproxies.com.
USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond: rotating Richmond IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond-zip-23225: narrows to ZIP 23225, one of 9 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond-asn-7922: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Richmond.USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond-session-rich01-ttl-15: keeps one Richmond IP for up to 15 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.
City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. When Richmond has no matching IP online, widen to state-va and retry later. See how city targeting works.
Which internet providers serve homes in Richmond?
Home internet in Richmond is led by Xfinity (Comcast), which the FCC map shows at 99% of 126,861 residential units, followed by Verizon Fios (92%) (December 2025 data). 69% of Richmond homes can order fiber and 99% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 96%. T-Mobile Home Internet (87%) and AT&T Internet Air (71%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).
A residential IP in Richmond 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 Richmond?
Richmond had 233,655 residents on July 1, 2024 (+3.1% since April 2020), per the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 estimates. The city is part of the Richmond, VA metropolitan area; the metro had 1,370,165 residents in 2024.
For tests that read local details, expect area codes 686 and 804, Eastern Time and ZIP codes such as 23225, 23224 and 23220. A proxy changes the IP only: set the time zone America/New_York and the language in your browser or tool yourself.

Data collected about Virginia residents falls under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA).

What else do people ask about Richmond proxies?
Does a Richmond IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Richmond 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.
Which Richmond ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 9 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Richmond, among them 23225, 23224, 23220 and 23221 (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 Richmond proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "Richmond proxy server" means any proxy with a Richmond 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 Richmond, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-va-city-richmond in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Does Virginia law change how I can use a Richmond proxy?
MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. Virginia's VCDPA governs how businesses handle personal data of residents, and each site's terms still apply. Collect only public data and follow the acceptable use policy.
Can I get a Richmond IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond-asn-7922 asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 99% of Richmond homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
How do I hold one Richmond IP during a session?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-va-city-richmond-session-rich01-ttl-15 keeps one Richmond exit for up to 15 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 Richmond IP.
