Why you need a US residential IP
Many websites tailor prices, availability, search results and ads to the visitor's location. To see what a real user in the United States sees, the request has to come from a US IP, and many sites treat datacenter addresses differently from home connections. A residential IP from an American ISP looks like an ordinary household visitor.
That makes US residential proxies the standard tool for lawful research and verification of the US market:
- Price monitoring and stock checks across US regions
- Ad verification in specific US markets
- Localized SEO and SERP tracking by state or city
- Collection of public US web data, within each site's terms
- QA of your own site or app as US visitors see it
US targeting: country, state, city or ISP
Targeting is set in the username on the gateway gw.nefo.net:9000, so you can change location from your code:
- Anywhere in the US:
USERNAME-country-us - A state:
USERNAME-country-us-state-california - A city:
USERNAME-country-us-city-losangeles - An ISP: add
-asn-<number>to stay on one American provider
For city-level work, see US city-targeted proxies and the pages for metros such as New York City and Los Angeles. The United States location page shows live coverage.
Rotating or sticky US proxies
Rotating sessions give you a new US home IP on every request, which spreads a large job across many addresses. Sticky sessions keep the same IP for a period you choose, from 1 minute to 24 hours, for logins, carts and multi-page flows. You pick per proxy line, and both draw on one balance.
Protocols and setup
Generate US credentials for HTTP(S) or SOCKS5; UDP over SOCKS5 is available on Pool 1. Authenticate with username and password or an IP allowlist. Paste the host, port and credentials into your scraper, browser or antidetect profile, or use the browser extension for Chrome and Firefox.
