Residential proxy with city targeting

How do I write the city name?

Write the English name in lower case, without accents, and replace spaces with _. Hyphens are not allowed inside the value, because the username uses hyphens as separators.

• München → munich, Köln → cologne, Wien → vienna
• Kraków → krakow, Łódź → lodz, Wrocław → wroclaw
• Den Haag → the_hague, Cluj-Napoca → cluj_napoca, Novi Sad → novi_sad
• Chișinău → chisinau, Reykjavík → reykjavik, Málaga → malaga

Every city page prints its exact value. The client area also lists the cities of each country, through GET /v1/catalog/countries/{cc}/cities in the API.

What does "geolocates to a city" mean?

IP addresses carry no street address. Commercial geolocation databases estimate a city for each block of addresses from network data, ISP feeds and user corrections. A city proxy pool groups IPs whose database city is the one you asked for.

Two databases can disagree. A line in a suburb such as Saint-Denis or Leverkusen may show as Paris or Cologne in one database and as the suburb in another. The geolocation accuracy guide explains why, and each city page lists the nearby towns you may see.

The residential proxy product page sums up sessions, protocols and authentication; proxy geo-targeting in Europe lists every parameter, and the glossary defines the terms.

What happens when no IP is online in a city?

City availability varies; the checkout shows what is online. No IP count is published. Residential devices go on and off line, so the number of IPs in a city changes during the day.

If the city has no matching IP at that moment, the connection fails or falls back to a wider match. Before a long task:

1. Open one request through the city username and read the exit with an IP lookup.
2. If it is not the city you need, wait and retry, or widen to the country.
3. For multi-step work, use a sticky session so the city stays fixed for up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline).

Which European cities are documented?

103 cities in 35 countries, from capitals such as Paris, Berlin and Warsaw to regional hubs such as Eindhoven, Gothenburg and Cluj-Napoca. Browse them A–Z or by country.
