How do I target Tempe in the proxy username?

Tempe targeting is a username setting, not a separate product: keep your password, put state-az-city-tempe after the country, and connect to gw.metroproxies.com.

  • USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe: rotating Tempe IPs, a new connection usually gets a different one.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-zip-85281: narrows to ZIP 85281, one of 4 ZIP areas mostly inside the city.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-asn-22773: asks for an IP on Cox's network (AS22773) when one is online in Tempe.
  • USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-session-temp01-ttl-20: keeps one Tempe IP for up to 20 minutes; it can change earlier if the home device goes offline.

City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. When Tempe has no matching IP online, widen to state-az and retry later. See how city targeting works.

A residential IP in Tempe is announced by the provider of the home it comes from. The FCC shares above tell you which networks to expect; the ASN targeting page shows how to pin one, for example AS22773 for Cox.

What else do people ask about Tempe proxies?

How do I target Cox in Tempe?

Add the provider's network number: USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-asn-22773 asks for Cox (AS22773). Per the FCC map, Cox serves 85% of Tempe 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 Tempe proxy server and a residential proxy?

A free Tempe 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 Tempe, AZ, with username and password, a public acceptable use policy and support by email. The Tempe segment is country-us-state-az-city-tempe.

How many Tempe IPs does MetroProxies have?

MetroProxies does not publish IP counts per city. The number of residential devices online in Tempe 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 Tempe IP for several minutes?

Add a session ID and a time to live to the username: USERNAME-country-us-state-az-city-tempe-session-temp01-ttl-20 keeps one Tempe 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 Tempe IP.

What phone area code should a Tempe test use?

Tempe numbers use 480, 602 and 623; these codes overlay the same area, so any of them is local (NANPA, read 2026-10-18). A proxy does not give you a phone number: it only changes the IP address of your web requests.

Can I target a ZIP code inside Tempe?

Any five-digit ZIP code can go in the zip- segment. 4 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas lie mostly inside Tempe, among them 85281, 85282, 85283 and 85284 (2020 Census relationship file). A small ZIP has fewer homes online at once, so widen to the city if a ZIP returns errors.
