American IPs from real homes and SIM cards in all 50 states
US proxies on real American home broadband and the Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile mobile networks. Our USA proxies reach every state and Washington, DC, 6,900+ cities and towns and 850+ local ISPs, with rotating or sticky sessions, a fixed static IP, or low-cost datacenter IPs.
Pay per GB, not per IP. Unused bandwidth rolls over.
Choose your US proxy type
Four ways to get an American IP
Rotating residential
US residential proxies on real home cable, fibre and DSL lines, from Comcast and Spectrum to rural co-ops. Best for scraping, price monitoring and local SERP tracking.
- State, city, ZIP, ISP and ASN targeting
- New IP per request or sticky sessions
- OS fingerprint targeting (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android)
Rotating mobile
US mobile proxy IPs on Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, plus Boost Mobile and regional carriers. Best for social media, app testing and the strictest anti-bot systems.
- State, city, ZIP, carrier and ASN targeting
- OS fingerprint targeting
- Rotate on demand or keep a sticky session
Rotating datacenter
Fast, low-cost US datacenter proxies. Best for high-volume jobs on sites with light bot protection, where a residential IP would be overkill.
- United States country-level targeting
- New IP per request or sticky sessions
- Lowest cost per GB for bulk traffic
- Plans from 40 GB for $25
Static residential
A fixed US residential IP registered to an American ISP and assigned to you alone, often sold as a US ISP proxy. Best for account management and long-running logins.
- The same US IP for the whole month
- Traffic included (100 GB fair-use soft cap per IP)
- United States country-level targeting
- From $3.50 for a single IP
The United States at a glance
Why a local IP changes what you see
The US web is sliced by location more finely than almost anywhere else. Search results, prices on Amazon, Walmart and Target, delivery dates and the ads you are shown can change by state, metro area and ZIP code. One “US IP” from a Virginia data centre tells you nothing about what a shopper in Phoenix sees.
American sites also invest heavily in bot detection, and the first thing it checks is the network. Hosting traffic is flagged before a page loads, while a Comcast line in Denver or a T-Mobile SIM in Atlanta looks like an ordinary customer. That is why residential proxies in the United States work where cheaper IPs get blocked.
| Fact | Figure | Why it matters for proxy work |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 341.8 million (1 July 2025 estimate); 331.4 million at the 2020 Census | Most global sites run a US edition with US prices and serve it only to visitors on US IPs. |
| States | 50 states plus the District of Columbia | Taxes, shipping rules, prices and ads can differ between states, so state targeting matters. |
| Largest states | California, Texas, Florida and New York hold about a third of all residents | The big four are not the whole picture; sample smaller states too. |
| Time zones | Six across the 50 states (nine including territories) | Match your browser’s time zone to the IP: a New York IP with a Pacific clock is an easy tell. |
| Mobile networks | Three nationwide providers: AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon | All three are in our mobile pool, together with Boost Mobile and regional carriers. |
| Mobile connections | About 371 million on the three nationwide networks | More connections than residents, so carrier IPs are everyday traffic, not an anomaly. |

What our US proxy coverage actually reaches
Read from the live API, not a brochure
Every provider claims US coverage. What matters is whether you can pin a session to the state, city and network your target cares about. These figures come from the API our dashboard uses, counted by script.
All 50 states and Washington, DC
Every state and the District of Columbia can be targeted on its own with rotating residential proxies, and every one of them also has cities you can target. Rotating mobile covers 47 states plus DC: North Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming are residential-only for now. The 20 states with the most targetable cities:
| State | Targetable cities and towns |
|---|---|
| Pennsylvania | 621 |
| New York | 575 |
| Texas | 563 |
| California | 556 |
| Illinois | 549 |
| Ohio | 422 |
| New Jersey | 377 |
| Michigan | 360 |
| North Carolina | 355 |
| Florida | 320 |
| Georgia | 295 |
| Tennessee | 279 |
| Iowa | 277 |
| Missouri | 275 |
| Indiana | 266 |
| Massachusetts | 260 |
| Minnesota | 253 |
| Virginia | 250 |
| Wisconsin | 241 |
| Kentucky | 228 |
All 50 states plus Washington, DC are targetable, each with its own city list; the full state and city list is in the dashboard.
6,900+ cities and towns, down to neighbourhoods
The API lists 6,966 distinct place names. Because many names repeat across states (Springfield, Columbus, Portland), counted state by state that is 10,231 targetable locations. They range from the largest metros to towns of a few thousand people, and in New York City and Los Angeles you can go below city level to boroughs and neighbourhoods such as Brooklyn, Queens, Van Nuys and North Hollywood.
A few entries are communities or military bases rather than incorporated cities, so we quote “6,900+”, not the raw total.
Mobile carriers
The FCC counts three nationwide mobile providers, AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon; all three are in our pool, so no nationwide network is missing. UScellular can still be picked on its own, although T-Mobile has owned its wireless business since August 2025, and Optimum Mobile runs on T-Mobile’s network. Boost Mobile is EchoStar’s brand; C Spire (Mississippi and neighbouring states) and Viaero Wireless (listed as NE Colorado Cellular) are regional carriers. The API shows nine carrier labels, but two are AT&T, so we count eight brands. Regional networks such as GCI in Alaska and Cellcom in Wisconsin are in the home pool but not available as mobile carriers.
Sources: FCC (2024 Communications Marketplace Report; T-Mobile/UScellular transaction, GN Docket No. 24-286); carrier labels from our API.
850+ fixed-line ISPs
The API lists 1,060 home-network labels. After merging duplicate spellings and brands and setting aside universities, schools and backbone carriers, more than 850 consumer ISPs remain, each targetable by name. The national operators are all there: Comcast, Charter Spectrum, AT&T, Verizon Fios, Cox, Lumen (CenturyLink), Frontier, Optimum, Mediacom, Windstream, Brightspeed, Astound, Sparklight, WOW!, TDS, Ziply Fiber, Google Fiber and Metronet, plus Starlink, Viasat and Hughes satellite connections. The long tail includes Hawaiian Telcom, GCI in Alaska, Midco, altafiber (Cincinnati Bell), municipal fibre such as EPB in Chattanooga, LUS Fiber in Lafayette, Longmont Power & Communications and UTOPIA Fiber in Utah, and hundreds of rural co-ops.
Why the long tail matters. Anti-bot systems score the network (ASN) behind every request, and a pool drawn from a handful of giant ISPs is easy to profile. Mixing a Comcast line in Philadelphia with a co-op in Kansas and a municipal fibre network in Tennessee makes traffic look like ordinary American households, because that is what it is.

What teams use American proxies for
Common workloads on our US network
E-commerce price monitoring
Track prices, availability and delivery promises on Amazon, Walmart and Target, which can change by ZIP code, from the cities your customers live in.
Local SEO & SERP tracking
Check Google rankings, map packs and ads city by city, from Seattle to Miami, instead of relying on one national result.
Real estate listings
Monitor new listings and price cuts on Zillow, Realtor.com and Redfin every day, metro by metro, with rotating residential IPs and sensible request pacing so the checks keep running.
Ad verification
Confirm that campaigns targeted at a state or metro area actually appear there, on the placements you paid for, and catch ad fraud before it burns budget.
Market research & AI data
Collect public web data for market research, price intelligence and AI or retrieval pipelines, seen from real US locations rather than a data centre.
Social media & app testing
Run US accounts from Verizon, AT&T or T-Mobile mobile IPs, test apps as a local subscriber, or pin each account to its own static US IP.

Free USA proxy lists vs paid US proxies
Why free lists rarely work on American sites
Search for a USA proxy and half the results are free proxy lists. Most entries are open servers already abused by thousands of users. They go offline within hours, are blacklisted by US sites, and if you are not paying for the product, your traffic often is the product.
| Free USA proxy lists | ProxyEmpire US proxies | |
|---|---|---|
| IP source | Open or hijacked servers, mostly data centres | Real US homes and Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile SIM cards |
| Uptime | Minutes to hours before an IP disappears | Always-on pool, with rotating, sticky or static IPs |
| Blocks | Usually blacklisted on major US sites | Looks like an ordinary local visitor |
| Targeting | Country at best | State, city, ZIP, ISP, ASN and OS fingerprint |
| Security | Unknown operator can log or alter your traffic | Authenticated access over HTTP(S) or SOCKS5 |
| Cost | Free | From $1.50/GB, with a $1.97 trial |

USA proxy FAQ
Straight answers
What is a residential proxy, and what makes it a US one?
A residential proxy routes your requests through a real household’s internet connection, so websites see an ordinary home user instead of a server. USA residential proxies do this through American homes on networks like Comcast or Verizon, which gives you a US IP address, local content and far fewer blocks than a datacenter IP.
Can I get residential proxies from specific US states or cities?
Yes. A US residential proxy can target any of the 50 states or Washington, DC, 6,900+ cities and towns, individual ZIP codes, 850+ ISPs and ASNs. Mobile proxies support the same targeting by carrier in 47 states plus DC. There is no extra charge for any targeting.
Can static residential proxies target a specific US state?
No. Static residential (ISP) and datacenter IPs are sold at country level, so you get a US IP but cannot choose the state or city. If you need a stable IP in one state, use a rotating residential sticky session targeted to that state or city.
How do datacenter proxies compare for US state targeting?
Our US datacenter IPs are country-level only and easier for protected sites to detect, because they belong to hosting networks. They are the cheapest option for bulk traffic. For state or city targeting, use residential or mobile proxies.
Which US mobile carriers can I target?
Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, the three nationwide networks, plus UScellular (now owned by T-Mobile), Boost Mobile, Optimum Mobile, C Spire and Viaero Wireless.
How much do US proxies cost?
Rotating residential starts at $1.50/GB on larger plans and $3.50 for a single GB, rotating mobile at $2.00/GB and rotating datacenter at $0.35/GB. Static residential costs $3.50 for one IP down to $2.00 per IP a month at 2,000 IPs. You can buy US residential proxies after a $1.97 trial.
How do static residential IPs keep a clean reputation?
Each static IP is registered to an American ISP and assigned to one customer for the whole plan, so its history is shaped by your use alone, not by strangers sharing the address. For high-frequency automated jobs, rotating residential or datacenter IPs spread the load better than one static IP.
What uptime can I expect?
ProxyEmpire lists 99.9% uptime for its network. A single rotating residential IP is a real home connection that can go offline, so the gateway routes the next request through another IP; build sessions to tolerate an IP change. Static IPs do not depend on a home router staying on.
Where do the residential IPs come from? Do you pay users?
We don’t run an app that pays people for their bandwidth. ProxyEmpire buys capacity from vetted providers, and every provider must show that the people whose connections carry traffic have opted in, are compensated and can leave whenever they choose. Our sourcing is certified by EWDCI.
Which protocols and tools are supported?
HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 in all 50 states. The proxies work with any scraper, rank tracker, headless browser, anti-detect browser or HTTP library, and there is no limit on concurrent sessions.
Is a free USA proxy good enough?
For a one-off look at a page, sometimes. For regular work, no: free proxies are slow, shared, often blocked, and you cannot choose the state or network.
Are residential proxies legal in the United States?
Using residential proxies is legal for legitimate business purposes such as price monitoring, SEO research and ad verification. How you use them still matters: follow each site’s terms and applicable laws such as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and state privacy laws. This is general information, not legal advice.
