How many proxy IPs does ColdProxy have in South Africa?

ColdProxy's South Africa pool currently sits at 284K IPs. Pool size matters because larger pools rotate more freely, reducing repeated-IP pressure on rate-limited targets. This is a reviewed snapshot that can change with ISP supply. If your project needs a minimum pool size, contact sales before you buy and we will assess whether it is possible.

Can I target a specific city in South Africa?

Residential IPv4 city targeting in South Africa is supported where local ISP supply allows. On Datacenter IPv6 specifically, we run Datacenter IPv6 locations in Johannesburg and Cape Town. You pin a city at request time by extending your proxy username (for example user-country-za-city-johannesburg). For a city that is not in the Datacenter IPv6 list, open a sales ticket with the city name and we will confirm current Residential IPv4 pool depth before you commit.

What sites can I scrape with South Africa proxies?

Common public targets for South Africa proxies include Takealot, Gumtree ZA, and Bob Shop, plus social-media platforms, travel aggregators, and geo-sensitive public pages. Because the IPs are real residential, they are a better fit than datacenter ranges on targets that require consumer ISP reputation.
