Questions

Which networks do South Africa exits come from?

In our sample of October 14, 2026 the most frequent in South Africa were Dimension Data, SADV (Pty) Ltd, and HERO TELECOMS (PTY) LTD. A sample shows what came back that day, not the full list.

How do I get an IP in South Africa?

Add -country-za to your proxy username, for example USER-country-za. Every new connection then asks for an exit in South Africa. When none is available, the gateway refuses the connection with status 465.

Can I target a city in South Africa?

Yes. Add -city- and the city name in lower case without spaces. We checked Benoni, Cape Town, Durban, and Johannesburg on October 14, 2026: the exits we got were in the city we asked for.

Does every connection succeed?

Not always. An exit is someone's home or mobile connection and can go offline mid-request, so build a retry into your client.

How much does it cost?

$1 per GB, the same for South Africa as for every other country. No subscription, and unused bandwidth does not expire.

Setups for Python, Go net/http and Puppeteer are in the blog, each tested against the gateway. To build a whole list, use the proxy generator.
