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

You pick Salem by adding `city-salem` (and `state-or`) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.

- `USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-salem`: rotating Salem IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-salem-zip-97302`: narrows to ZIP 97302, one of 3 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-salem-asn-7922`: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Salem.
- `USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-salem-session-sale01-ttl-15`: keeps one Salem 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. Test with one request before you script a run, and widen to the state if a filter is too narrow. Details: [city-level targeting](https://metroproxies.com/targeting/city/).

## Which internet providers serve homes in Salem?

Salem counts 76,586 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Xfinity (99%) and CenturyLink (84%), by share of units covered. By technology, fiber covers 23% of addresses, cable 99%, and 72% can order a gigabit wired plan. T-Mobile Home Internet (72%) and Verizon 5G Home (53%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).

What this means for a Salem proxy: a residential exit IP belongs to whichever home network the device uses, so Xfinity 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 Salem?

The Census Bureau counts 180,406 people in Salem for July 2024, up 2.8% from the April 2020 base. The city is part of the Salem, OR metropolitan area; the metro had 443,416 residents in 2024.

Salem uses Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles), the 503 and 971 area codes and 3 ZIP areas. Match those in your test setup; the proxy only sets where the IP is. Oregon has no sales tax, so shelf and online prices there carry no tax line. Data collected about Oregon residents falls under the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA).

## How much do Salem residential proxies cost?

There is no city surcharge for Salem. As of October 2026 the 1 GB test plan is $1.50, 100 GB is $50, and the per-GB price falls to $0.50/GB. Traffic you do not use stays on the account.

### Which plan fits a Salem 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 Salem proxies?

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

No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Salem 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 Salem ZIP codes can I request?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the `zip-` segment. 3 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Salem, among them 97302, 97301 and 97310 (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 Salem proxy server the same as a residential proxy?

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

### Does Oregon law change how I can use a Salem proxy?

MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. Oregon's OCPA 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 Salem IP from one internet provider?

Add the provider's network number: `USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-salem-asn-7922` asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 99% of Salem 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 Salem IP during a session?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: `USERNAME-country-us-state-or-city-salem-session-sale01-ttl-15` keeps one Salem 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 Salem IP.
