How do I target Salinas in the proxy username?
You pick Salinas by adding city-salinas (and state-ca) to the username you already use. No other endpoint, no extra fee.
USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-salinas: rotating Salinas IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-salinas-zip-93906: narrows to ZIP 93906, one of 3 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-salinas-asn-7922: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in Salinas.USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-salinas-session-sali01-ttl-30: keeps one Salinas 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. If a narrow request returns errors, drop the ZIP or ASN segment first, then the city. The full format is on the city targeting page.
Which internet providers serve homes in Salinas?
Per the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 data, read 2026-10-18), Xfinity (Comcast) reports wired service to 99% of Salinas's 52,997 homes and apartments. The other main wired providers are AT&T (76%). 22% of Salinas homes can order fiber and 99% cable, while licensed fixed wireless covers 84%. T-Mobile Home Internet (57%) and Verizon 5G Home (41%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).
What this means for a Salinas 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 else do people ask about Salinas proxies?
Which Salinas ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 3 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Salinas, among them 93906, 93905 and 93901 (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 Salinas proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "Salinas proxy server" means any proxy with a Salinas 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 Salinas, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-ca-city-salinas in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Can I get a Salinas IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-salinas-asn-7922 asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 99% of Salinas homes. Combining city and ASN narrows the pool, so test with one request first; ASN targeting has no extra cost.
Does a Salinas IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. Salinas 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.
How do I hold one Salinas IP during a session?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-ca-city-salinas-session-sali01-ttl-30 keeps one Salinas 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 Salinas IP.
Which area codes belong to Salinas?
Salinas numbers use area code 831 (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests.
