## How do I target Riverside in the proxy username?

Riverside targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put `state-ca-city-riverside` after the country, and connect to `gw.metroproxies.com`.

- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-riverside`: rotating Riverside IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-riverside-zip-92507`: narrows to ZIP 92507, one of 7 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-riverside-asn-20115`: asks for an IP on Spectrum's network (AS20115) when one is online in Riverside.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-riverside-session-rive01-ttl-15`: keeps one Riverside 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 Riverside has no matching IP online, widen to `state-ca` and retry later. See [how city targeting works](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/).

## Which internet providers serve homes in Riverside?

Riverside counts 118,465 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Spectrum (91%) and AT&T (78%), by share of units covered. By technology, fiber covers 32% of addresses, cable 91%. T-Mobile Home Internet (67%) and Verizon 5G Home (50%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).

What this means for a Riverside 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 local details matter when you test from Riverside?

With 323,757 residents in 2024, Riverside ranks 61 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population grew 2.6% since 2020. The city is part of the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA metropolitan area, shared with [San Bernardino](https://metroproxies.com/cities/san-bernardino-ca/), [Fontana](https://metroproxies.com/cities/fontana-ca/), [Moreno Valley](https://metroproxies.com/cities/moreno-valley-ca/) and [Ontario](https://metroproxies.com/cities/ontario-ca/); the metro had 4,744,214 residents in 2024.

Local formats matter when you check forms, prices or ads: Riverside phone numbers use area code 951, clocks run on Pacific Time (`America/Los_Angeles`), and 7 ZIP areas fall mostly inside the city. Sales tax in California: 7.25% at state level, 9.03% on average with local rates (July 2026), added at checkout on most sites. Data collected about California residents falls under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA).

## How much do Riverside residential proxies cost?

Riverside traffic costs the same as any other US city: $1.50 for 1 GB, $5.94 for 10 GB, and from $0.50/GB on the larger plans, as of October 2026. City, state, ZIP and ASN targeting are included in every plan, and unused GB never expire.

### Which plan fits a Riverside 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). 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.

## What else do people ask about Riverside proxies?

### Does a Riverside IP set the local time on my tool?

No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Riverside uses Pacific Time (UTC−8, UTC−7 in summer); set `America/Los_Angeles` and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.

### Which Riverside ZIP codes can I request?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 7 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Riverside, among them 92507, 92506, 92504 and 92505 (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 Riverside proxy server the same as a residential proxy?

Not always. "Riverside proxy server" means any proxy with a Riverside 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 Riverside, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write `country-us-state-ca-city-riverside` in the username; plans start at $1.50.

### Does California law change how I can use a Riverside proxy?

MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. California's CCPA/CPRA 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](https://metroproxies.com/acceptable-use/).

### Can I get a Riverside IP from one internet provider?

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-riverside-asn-20115` asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 91% of Riverside 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 Riverside IP during a session?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-riverside-session-rive01-ttl-15` keeps one Riverside 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 Riverside IP.
