Real Afghan IPs on home lines and four mobile networks
Afghan proxies on real home connections and four local mobile networks. Our Afghanistan proxies reach 6 cities, including Kabul, Herat, Kandahar and Jalalabad, and 11 provinces across residential and mobile, so you can see Afghanistan-facing, Dari- and Pashto-language sites and apps the way local visitors do, with rotating or sticky sessions.
Pay per GB, not per IP. Unused bandwidth rolls over.

Two ways to get an Afghanistan IP address
Rotating residential
Home connections in Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Jalalabad, Bamyan and Zaranj, on seven local networks including Afghan Telecom, Roshan and Insta Telecom. Best for price research, Dari and Pashto search checks and seeing Afghanistan-facing sites as a local visitor would.
- Province, city, ISP and ASN targeting
- New IP per request or sticky sessions
- OS fingerprint targeting (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android)
Rotating mobile
Mobile IPs on AWCC, Roshan, e& Afghanistan and ATOMA across nine provinces, with city targeting in Kabul and Herat. Best for app testing, mobile ad checks and mobile-first pages.
- Province, city, carrier and ASN targeting
- OS fingerprint targeting
- Rotate on demand or keep a sticky session
Need the same IP for weeks at a time? Static residential proxies are not offered in Afghanistan, so use sticky sessions to hold the same Afghan IP on residential or mobile. Datacenter IPs are not available in Afghanistan either.
Afghanistan at a glance
Why a local IP changes what you see
Sites and apps built for people in Afghanistan often behave differently for visitors from abroad. Prices, currency, the language a page opens in, which products and delivery areas appear and how fast a page loads can all depend on where a request comes from.
Home and office connections in Afghanistan come from Afghan Telecom and private internet providers such as Insta Telecom and Ankabut, and phones run on AWCC, Roshan, e& Afghanistan, ATOMA and Salaam. A request from one of those networks in Kabul or Herat is what an Afghanistan-facing service expects to see. A request from a foreign data centre is not, so the most reliable way to check what Afghan users get is to use an Afghanistan IP address.
| Fact | Figure | Why it matters for proxy work |
|---|---|---|
| Capital | Kabul | One of two Afghan cities, with Herat, where you can target both residential and mobile IPs on our network. |
| Currency | Afghani (AFN) | Check which prices a shopper in Afghanistan is actually shown, and whether a site quotes afghani or US dollar amounts. |
| Languages & script | Dari and Pashto, both written right to left | Right-to-left layouts, fonts, ads and local search results in both languages need checking as locals see them. |
| Time zone | UTC+4:30 all year, with no clock changes | Schedule daily checks and time-limited offers on Kabul time; the half-hour offset is easy to get wrong. |
| Domain & calling code | .af and +93 | Local services run on .af addresses, and sign-up forms and phone fields expect +93 numbers. |
| Mobile networks | AWCC, Roshan, e& Afghanistan (Etisalat until June 2026), ATOMA (formerly MTN Afghanistan) and Salaam | Four of the five are selectable on our mobile pool; Salaam is not at the moment. |

What our Afghanistan proxy coverage actually reaches
Read from the live API, not a brochure
We would rather show real numbers than pad them. Here is exactly what you can target today, whether you run a proxy Afghanistan-wide or pin it to one city, pulled from the same API our dashboard uses.
7 provinces on residential
Residential IPs cover these seven provinces. Mobile IPs cover nine: Balkh, Farah, Helmand, Herat, Kabul, Kandahar, Kunduz, Nangarhar and Nimroz. So Balkh, Farah, Helmand and Kunduz are mobile-only, Bamyan and Khost are residential-only, and across both products you can target 11 provinces.
6 targetable cities, including Kabul and Herat
That is one city in each residential province except Khost: Kabul, Herat, Kandahar and Bamyan, Jalalabad in Nangarhar and Zaranj in Nimroz. Khost has no city option, so target it at province level. On mobile, city targeting is available in Kabul and Herat. Anywhere else in the pool, target by province or by country.
4 mobile networks
Our API lists them under their company names: Afghan Wireless Communication Company (AWCC), Telecom Development Company Afghanistan (the company behind Roshan), Etisalat Afghanistan, which became e& Afghanistan in June 2026, and MTN Afghanistan, which has traded as ATOMA since April 2025. To be plain about it: Salaam, the fifth mobile network, run by Afghan Telecom, is not selectable as a carrier at the moment, so if a job depends on it by name, check with us first.
Fixed-line ISPs
Residential IPs run on seven Afghan networks. The best-known names are Afghan Telecom, the national fixed-line operator, and Roshan. The private internet providers include Insta Telecom, Ankabut, Easy Connect and Unique Atlantic Telecommunication (UA Telecom), plus one smaller provider. There are no duplicate company names in the list, so seven is the real count.
Honest counts, real addresses. Six cities and seven networks will not suit a job that needs hundreds of different Afghan locations. They do suit what most teams need: seeing what a local visitor sees in Kabul, Herat and Kandahar, testing an app on four local mobile networks and verifying ads from a real Afghan address.
What teams use Afghan proxies for
Common workloads on our Afghan network
Marketplace price research
Track prices, stock and offers on Afghan online stores and classifieds the way a shopper in Kabul or Herat sees them, including whether prices appear in afghani or US dollars.
Local search checks
Check Dari- and Pashto-language Google results, rankings and local ads for Afghanistan from Kabul, Herat or Jalalabad instead of guessing from abroad.
Ad verification & localisation
Confirm that campaigns aimed at Afghanistan render on the placements you paid for, and that right-to-left Dari and Pashto pages, fonts and afghani prices display correctly on desktop and mobile.
App & mobile network testing
Test how Afghanistan-facing Android and iOS apps install, load and perform on AWCC, Roshan, e& Afghanistan and ATOMA connections in Kabul and Herat.
NGO & media monitoring
Nonprofit, research and media teams based elsewhere check that their Dari and Pashto pages, newsletters and published articles load, display and rank correctly for readers in Afghanistan.
Mobile bundle tracking
Compare the data bundles, prices and offers that each mobile network’s site and app shows a local visitor, and follow how they change from month to month.

Free Afghanistan proxy server lists vs paid Afghan proxies
What you actually get from a free Afghan proxy server
Many people searching for an Afghanistan proxy are looking for a free proxy server or a free web proxy: a site where you paste a URL and it loads the page for you. ProxyEmpire is not one of those services, is not connected to any of them and has no free tier. We sell authenticated proxy access with Afghan IP addresses to businesses and research teams outside Afghanistan, for use in browsers, scrapers and testing tools, and the cheapest way to try it is the $1.97 trial.
Free Afghanistan proxy lists cost nothing, but you rarely know where the server is, who runs it or what it does with your traffic. Here is how they compare with a paid proxy in Afghanistan.
| Free Afghanistan proxy lists | ProxyEmpire Afghan proxies | |
|---|---|---|
| IP source | Open or hijacked servers, mostly data centres, not always in Afghanistan | Real Afghan home connections and local mobile connections |
| Uptime | Minutes to hours before an IP disappears | Always-on pool, with rotating or sticky sessions |
| Detection | Usually blacklisted on major sites | Looks like an ordinary local visitor |
| Targeting | Country at best | Province, city, ISP, carrier, ASN and OS fingerprint |
| Your traffic | Unknown operator can log or alter it | Authenticated access over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 |
| Cost | Free | From $1.50/GB, with a $1.97 trial |

Afghanistan proxy FAQ
Straight answers
What is an Afghan proxy?
An Afghan proxy, or AF proxy, routes your traffic through an IP address in Afghanistan, so websites and apps treat you as a visitor in Afghanistan. An Afghanistan residential proxy uses a real home or office connection on a local network such as Afghan Telecom or Roshan rather than a data centre, and a mobile proxy uses a connection on one of four local mobile networks.
How do I get an Afghanistan IP address?
Sign up, choose Afghanistan as the country in the dashboard and copy the endpoint into your browser or tool over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5. Every request then leaves from a real Afghan home or mobile connection, so the IP Afghanistan-facing sites see is a local one. You can start with the $1.97 trial.
Is ProxyEmpire a free Afghanistan proxy server?
No. ProxyEmpire is a paid, authenticated proxy service, not a free Afghan proxy server or a type-a-URL web proxy site, and it is not affiliated with any free proxy site. It is built for businesses outside Afghanistan that need Afghan IP addresses for research and testing, and you plug the endpoints into a browser or tool, starting with a $1.97 trial.
Can I target specific Afghan provinces, cities or ISPs?
Yes. Residential proxies cover 7 provinces and 6 cities, including Kabul, Herat, Kandahar and Jalalabad, on seven local networks. Mobile adds Balkh, Farah, Helmand and Kunduz at province level. You can also target by ASN and OS fingerprint at no extra charge.
Do you offer Afghan mobile proxies?
Yes, on four networks: AWCC, Roshan, e& Afghanistan and ATOMA, in nine provinces, with city targeting in Kabul and Herat. Salaam is not selectable as a carrier at the moment.
Do you have Afghan datacenter or static IPs?
Not at the moment. Datacenter and static residential proxies are not offered with Afghan IPs. For a long-lived Afghanistan IP, use a sticky session on residential or mobile.
How much do Afghan proxies cost?
Rotating residential starts at $1.50/GB on larger plans and rotating mobile at $2.00/GB, billed in US dollars. Afghan targeting is included at no extra charge, and you can start with a $1.97 trial.
Can I keep the same Afghan IP?
Yes. Rotating residential and mobile proxies both support sticky sessions, which hold the same Afghan IP across requests instead of switching on every request. There is no limit on concurrent sessions.
Is a free Afghanistan proxy list good enough?
For a one-off look at a page, sometimes. For regular work, no. Free entries are slow, often flagged, may not be in Afghanistan at all and are run by operators who may log your traffic, with no way to choose the city or network.
Is using a proxy legal?
Proxies are a standard networking tool. What matters is how you use them: respect each site’s terms of service and follow the rules that apply to you and to any personal data you collect.
