United States proxies - residential, mobile and ISP IPs
A US proxy routes your traffic through an IP that belongs to a real American network, so target sites treat you as a visitor from the United States. INSOCKS gives you residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter IPs in one pool, with SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTPS and UDP, and targeting down to the city.
- The US pool holds 23,000+ IPs across 430+ cities, the deepest of any country INSOCKS covers.
- Those IPs sit on 126 different ISPs and mobile carriers, a mix of cable, fibre and 4G/5G networks, so exits look like ordinary American connections.
- UDP works on every type except mobile, which matters for anything that is not plain web traffic.
- A port stays open for 24 hours and renews automatically, so one address can serve a long session instead of changing under you.
- City targeting is real here: New York, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston and Dallas each hold hundreds of IPs of their own.
How a US proxy works
Four things happen between your request and the target site.
- You send the request to an INSOCKS endpoint instead of straight to the site.
- It leaves through an IP registered to a US network, in the city and on the type of connection you selected.
- The site sees an American visitor and serves American prices, ads, language and search results.
- The port stays yours for 24 hours, and auto-renewal keeps the same IP beyond that.
United States proxy types compared
All four types are available in the United States. What differs in practice is the network the IP sits on, how long you keep it, and whether UDP is on the table.
| Type | Protocols | IP source | Best for |

Home ISP | Price research, ad verification, SERP tracking |
| Mobile (4G/5G) |

Where the US pool actually reaches
Two things decide whether a US pool is usable: how many cities have IPs of their own, and how widely those IPs are spread across separate networks. Here is both, straight from the pool.
What teams use US proxies for
Price and assortment research
US retail pricing changes by state and by store. A New York exit and a Dallas exit routinely see different prices for the same SKU, which is exactly what you are measuring.
Ad verification
Check that the creatives you bought for a US campaign actually render, land on the right page and are not sitting next to something you would rather avoid.
Localization QA
Open your own site the way an American visitor does: currency, sales tax display, shipping options, consent banner and the redirect logic that decides which of those they get.
SERP and rank tracking
Google results differ between US metros. Tracking from a genuine city IP gives you the ranking your customers see, not a national average.
How to get a US IP
- Create an account and open the proxy list.
- Filter by country United States, then by city, ISP type and proxy score.
- Buy the port. It stays open for 24 hours and auto-renewal keeps it beyond that.
- Set your own SOCKS5 login and password in your profile, then plug the IP and port into your tool and check the exit IP.

Are US proxies legal to use?
Yes, for lawful purposes. Analytics, software testing, localization QA, ad verification and collecting publicly available data are all normal commercial uses of a proxy in the United States. You are responsible for the terms of the sites and services you access and for the data protection rules that apply to you.
How many US IPs does INSOCKS have?
More than 23,000 as of August 2026, spread over 430 US cities and 126 ISPs and mobile carriers. The pool moves day to day as devices come online and drop off, so your account shows the authoritative number and the figure on this page is deliberately rounded down.
Do US proxies support SOCKS5 and UDP?
Residential, ISP and datacenter US IPs support SOCKS4, SOCKS5, HTTPS and UDP. Mobile IPs support SOCKS4, SOCKS5 and HTTPS but not UDP, because the carrier network sits behind carrier-grade NAT. Remote DNS is supported, which prevents DNS leaks.
Can I target a specific US city?
Yes. Around 430 US cities have IPs of their own, and the large metros hold hundreds each: New York, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Philadelphia and Atlanta among them. Smaller cities have thinner pools, so check availability before a long job.
What is the difference between rotating and sticky US sessions?
Rotating means you take a new IP for each task, which suits large-scale collection of public data. Sticky means you hold one port for its full 24 hours and renew it automatically, which is what you want for anything logged in and anything where a mid-session IP change looks like account takeover.
Residential or ISP proxies for the United States?
Residential IPs sit on real consumer connections, so they suit research and verification spread across many requests. ISP proxies are static addresses registered to a consumer ISP, which combines datacenter speed with a residential-looking address that does not change. Pick ISP when the same account has to keep the same IP for weeks.
