Bucharest residential proxies

What does a Bucharest IP show that a Romania IP does not?

A Bucharest IP can check local property and classified listings on Imobiliare.ro and OLX.ro as shown to Romanian users. It also helps test Romanian-language search results and the STB and Metrorex journey information pages.

Bucharest produced around 24% of Romania's GDP in 2017. It is Romania's largest centre for information technology and communications, with several software delivery centres.

• Metrorex runs five metro lines (M1–M5) with 64 stations; M1 opened in 1979 and M5 in 2020.
• Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) in Otopeni, 16.5 km north of the centre, is Romania's busiest airport by passengers.
• The 2021 census counted 1,716,983 residents in the municipality, which is divided into six sectors.

How do I target Bucharest in the proxy username?

The Bucharest parameter is -country-ro-city-bucharest, appended to your username. It follows the English spelling rather than București, in lower case and without accents.

For a multi-step check, keep one Bucharest IP with USERNAME-country-ro-city-bucharest-session-buchar1-ttl-10. Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier).

Geolocation databases sometimes label addresses on the edge of Bucharest with a neighbouring municipality, such as Otopeni, Voluntari, Popești-Leordeni and Buftea. Read the exit with an IP lookup before a long task.

Bucharest is surrounded by Ilfov County, and the two form the Bucharest-Ilfov development region; Ilfov had 542,686 residents at the 2021 census.
