Networks in South Africa

The network that announces an IP is what a website looks up first. These are the ones our exits in South Africa were on.

Plus 12 more networks with fewer exits in this sample.

To get exits on one network only, add its AS number to the username: USER-cc-ZA-asn-328471. When no exit on that network is online, the gateway answers 502.

Cities

Without a city in the username the exit can be anywhere in South Africa. These came up most often:

City targeting, checked

We asked for each of these cities with -ct-Johannesburg-style usernames, and the exits that came back were in that city.

Get an IP in South Africa

The country goes into the proxy username. The first line gives a new exit on every connection; the second keeps one exit for ten minutes.

bash
curl -x http://via.proxies.vision:80 --proxy-user "USER-cc-ZA:PASS" https://ipinfo.io/json
curl -x http://via.proxies.vision:80 --proxy-user "USER-cc-ZA-s-job1-ttl-600:PASS" https://ipinfo.io/json

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

Questions

Which networks do South Africa exits come from?
In our sample of October 9, 2026 we saw 20 networks in South Africa. The most frequent were HERO TELECOMS (PTY) LTD (14 of 50 exits), RAIN GROUP HOLDINGS (PTY) LTD (5 of 50 exits) and Dimension Data (4 of 50 exits). A sample shows what came back that day, not the full list.
How do I get an IP in South Africa?
Add -cc-ZA to your proxy username, for example USER-cc-ZA. Every new connection then asks for an exit in South Africa. When none is available, the gateway answers 502.
Can I target a city in South Africa?
Yes. Add -ct- and the city name without spaces. We checked Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria on October 9, 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.
