How do I target St. Paul in the proxy username?
St. Paul targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put state-mn-city-st_paul after the country, and connect to gw.metroproxies.com.
USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-st_paul: rotating St. Paul IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-st_paul-zip-55106: narrows to ZIP 55106, one of 12 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-st_paul-asn-7922: asks for an IP on Xfinity's network (AS7922) when one is online in St. Paul.USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-st_paul-session-stpa01-ttl-15: keeps one St. Paul 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 St. Paul has no matching IP online, widen to state-mn and retry later. See how city targeting works.
Which internet providers serve homes in St. Paul?
St. Paul counts 143,304 residential units in the FCC National Broadband Map (December 2025 filing). Wired home internet there comes mainly from Xfinity (99%) and CenturyLink (96%), by share of units covered. By technology, fiber covers 72% of addresses, cable 98%, and 84% can order a gigabit wired plan. AT&T Internet Air (80%) and Verizon 5G Home (79%) sell home internet over the air (fixed wireless).
What this means for a St. Paul 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 St. Paul?
With 307,465 residents in 2024, St. Paul ranks 68 among the 181 US cities over 150,000 on this site; the population fell 1.3% since 2020. The city is part of the Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI metropolitan area, shared with Minneapolis; the metro had 3,757,952 residents in 2024.

Data collected about Minnesota residents falls under the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA).

What else do people ask about St. Paul proxies?
Does a St. Paul IP set the local time on my tool?
No. The proxy changes the IP address that websites see, nothing else. St. Paul uses Central Time (UTC−6, UTC−5 in summer); set America/Chicago and an en-US locale in your browser or test runner if the page you check reads them.
Which St. Paul ZIP codes can I request?
Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 12 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside St. Paul, among them 55106, 55104, 55116 and 55107 (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 St. Paul proxy server the same as a residential proxy?
Not always. "St. Paul proxy server" means any proxy with a St. Paul 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 St. Paul, so sites see a local household address. With MetroProxies you write country-us-state-mn-city-st_paul in the username; plans start at $1.50.
Does Minnesota law change how I can use a St. Paul proxy?
MetroProxies does not give legal advice. A proxy changes where requests come from, not which rules apply to you. Minnesota's MCDPA 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 St. Paul IP from one internet provider?
Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-st_paul-asn-7922 asks for Xfinity (AS7922). Per the FCC map, Xfinity serves 99% of St. Paul 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 St. Paul IP during a session?
Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-mn-city-st_paul-session-stpa01-ttl-15 keeps one St. Paul 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 St. Paul IP.
