Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-ny-city-rochester-asn-20115 asks for Spectrum (AS20115). Per the FCC map, Spectrum serves 95% of Rochester 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 Rochester proxy server and a residential proxy?
A free Rochester 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 Rochester, NY, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Rochester segment is country-us-state-ny-city-rochester.
How many Rochester IPs does MetroProxies have?
MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Rochester 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 Rochester IP for several minutes?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-ny-city-rochester-session-roch01-ttl-20 keeps one Rochester 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 Rochester IP.
What phone area code should a Rochester test use?
Rochester numbers use area code 585 (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests.
