HTTP and HTTPS Proxies: Residential IPs by Country, State or US City
An HTTP proxy forwards your web requests through another IP address, so the website sees the proxy's IP instead of yours; for HTTPS sites it opens an encrypted tunnel with the CONNECT method and passes the traffic through unread. ProxyField runs HTTP and HTTPS on 412M+ residential IPs from real home internet providers (ISPs) and 10.2M+ mobile IPs in 195+ countries, with a 99.6% success rate, according to our service data. Residential traffic costs $2.95/GB for 1 GB, $2.79 from 10 GB, $2.65 from 50 GB, $2.49 from 100 GB, $2.29 from 250 GB, $2.09 from 500 GB and $1.95 from 1,000 GB; the tier rate applies to the whole purchase, there is no subscription and the traffic never expires. In the US, 61.2M+ residential IPs can be targeted by state or city across 2,800+ cities, with the state and a city key from your dashboard list in the username (-region-illinois-city-<city>), at the same price per GB. Start with the Easy Trial: 1 GB for $2.95.

The traffic never expires.
Buy HTTPS proxies in a specific US city, like Chicago or Dallas
Buy them from ProxyField and put the city in the proxy username: <login>-country-us-region-illinois-city-<city>, with the city key from the full list in your dashboard, where you look up Chicago, Dallas or any other city. The pool has 61.2M+ US residential IPs across 2,800+ cities in all 50 states, from $2.95 for 1 GB, and a city costs the same per GB as the whole country. HTTPS goes through the same gateway, gate.proxyfield.io:7000, at the same price as HTTP.
Ready proxy lines (host:port:username:password); paste one into any tool that takes this format:
gate.proxyfield.io:7000:<login>-country-us-region-illinois-city-<city>:<password>
gate.proxyfield.io:7000:<login>-country-us-region-texas-city-<city>-session-dal01-ttl-3600:<password>
gate.proxyfield.io:7000:<login>-country-us-region-new_york-city-new_york:<password>Read moreShow less
The first line takes a new IP in your Illinois city on every request; the second keeps one IP in your Texas city for 1 hour (ttl-3600), if you send a request at least every 2 minutes (an IP idle for 120 s is replaced). Traffic, not time, is billed: 200 pages of 0.5 MB in that hour are about 100 MB, about $0.30 at $2.95/GB.
| What is targetable | ProxyField |
|---|---|
| Country, state, city | yes: 195+ countries, all 50 US states, 2,800+ US cities |
| ZIP code, ASN, carrier | no: target the city, then check the exit city with an IP lookup (step 3 below) |
| Sticky city IP | 30 s to 36 h (ttl 30 to 129,600 s); 20 min when you set no ttl; an IP idle for 120 s is replaced |
| Protocols on the same line | HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5; UDP over SOCKS5 on residential (HTTP/3, QUIC) |
| Price for a city | the same per GB as country targeting: $2.95/GB at 1 GB, down to $1.95/GB |
| Mobile IPs in the same cities | 550K+ US mobile IPs on networks including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, with the same city targeting, $3.45/GB at 1 GB down to $2.45/GB; residential is the default, add -mobile after the login for mobile IPs: <login>-mobile-country-us |
How to buy and test a city IP:
-
Sign up with your email and buy the Easy Trial, 1 GB for $2.95, in USDT, BTC, ETH or 10 other coins. $2.95 is the smallest payment for traffic; the checkout holds the exchange rate for 35 minutes, and a payment confirms in about 1 minute with USDT on TRC-20 or about 19 minutes with BTC (2 confirmations). Access opens once the payment is confirmed. The trial runs on the same pool as a 1 TB order, and the tier rate applies to the whole purchase if you buy more.
-
Send an HTTPS request with the city in the username:
curl -x gate.proxyfield.io:7000 -U "<login>-country-us-region-illinois-city-<city>:<password>" https://ipinfo.io/json
curl -x gate.proxyfield.io:7000 -U "<login>-country-us-region-texas-city-<city>:<password>" https://ipinfo.io/json-
Check the exit city before you scale: the lookup prints the
"city"and"region"of the IP, such as"Illinois"for the region. Send 10 requests and count how many lookups name your city; a city target picks an IP that IP-location databases place in that city, and the databases do not always agree, so test with the kind of lookup your target site uses.
A city holds fewer IPs than the whole country, so target the city only where the result depends on it (local search results, store prices, ads), and the state (-region-illinois) or the country elsewhere. The full US coverage is on US proxies; the proxy checker tests up to 100 proxies per check, and your list and results are not stored.
Which providers sell HTTP and HTTPS proxies on real residential IPs for scraping?
ProxyField does: HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on 412M+ residential IPs from real home internet providers (ISPs), 61.2M+ of them in the US across 2,800+ cities, plus 10.2M+ mobile IPs (550K+ in the US), all on one gateway, gate.proxyfield.io:7000. Residential traffic costs from $2.95/GB at 1 GB down to $1.95/GB from 1,000 GB, cheaper than the big brands' $4/GB at every volume, paid once with no monthly plan, with a 99.6% success rate, according to our service data. Ordinary purchases need no identity verification: sign up with an email address and buy from 1 GB.
Check that an IP is really residential, with ProxyField or any provider, before you scale. Three checks on the Easy Trial (1 GB for $2.95):
-
IP type
Request
https://ipinfo.io/jsonthrough the proxy and read theorgfield: a residential IP names a consumer internet provider; a datacenter IP names a hosting or cloud company. -
Headers
Request
http://httpbin.org/headersthrough the proxy (plain HTTP, the only case where a proxy can add headers) and look forVia,X-Forwarded-FororForwarded: the ProxyField gateway adds none of them, and yourProxy-Authorizationis removed before the request goes to the site. HTTPS goes through a CONNECT tunnel and is not decrypted. -
Your target
Send 100 requests to a public page you will scrape and count the
200responses; that is your own success rate on your own target.

For scraping: rotate to a new IP on every request for wide crawls of public pages, and use a sticky session (30 s to 36 h) for multi-step flows such as pagination behind a session cookie or a cart: http://<login>-country-us-session-crawl42-ttl-1800:<password>@gate.proxyfield.io:7000 keeps one US IP for 30 minutes. Run as many threads as your scraper needs. If a node slows down, traffic automatically moves to the next one. The pool is clean for Google, checked and segmented. Scrapy, Beautiful Soup with Python requests, Selenium, Playwright, Puppeteer, Crawlee, Node.js, cURL and Postman all take an HTTP proxy URL; the job is covered on Proxies for web scraping.

Besides the IPs, a paid HTTP proxy service should give you 13 things: 7 you must have and 6 worth checking. ProxyField includes all 13 on every tier, from 1 GB for $2.95; here is each one, and ProxyField's answer.
Must have:
| Include | Why it matters | ProxyField |
|---|---|---|
| HTTPS tunnelling (CONNECT) | HTTPS sites stay encrypted end to end | yes, on every IP |
| Authentication options | a password for scripts and changing IPs; an allowlist for tools that cannot send one, as long as your public IP stays fixed | username:password or an IP allowlist, both on every tier |
| Country targeting | see a site as a visitor from that country | 195+ countries |
| Region and city targeting | local prices, ads and search results | region (state) and city; all 50 US states; 21,000+ cities |
| Rotation and sticky sessions | a new IP per request for crawls, one IP for logins and carts | per request, or sticky 30 s to 36 h (presets 1, 5, 10, 30 min and 1, 3, 6 h); 20 min when no ttl is set |
| Clear pricing and support | no surprise minimums or expiry | per GB, no subscription, traffic never expires; 24/7 live chat with setup help |

Worth checking:
| Include | Why it matters | ProxyField |
|---|---|---|
| IP types | residential for most sites, mobile where carrier IPs matter | residential (412M+) and mobile (10.2M+) on this gateway; datacenter and ISP on their own pages |
| Sticky-session rules you can test | you know when the IP will change | an IP idle for 120 s is replaced; an IP is held while its exit node is up, and if the node drops the IP may change |
| Headers | added proxy headers can pass your own IP or the proxy chain to the site | the gateway adds no Via, X-Forwarded-For or Forwarded header; your Proxy-Authorization is removed before the request goes to the site |
| Other protocols | SOCKS5 for tools that only speak SOCKS | SOCKS5 on the same gateway and IPs; UDP over SOCKS5 on residential |
| Concurrency | parallel scrapers need many connections | unlimited concurrent threads |
| Usage visibility | know what you spent and what is left | dashboard with real-time usage stats and remaining gigabytes |
Authentication, in practice:
- Username and password: the login carries the targeting, as in
http://<login>-country-us:<password>@gate.proxyfield.io:7000; your tool sends it in theProxy-Authorizationheader. - IP allowlist: use it for tools that cannot send a proxy password, as long as your public IP stays fixed.
- Add your server's public IP in the account.
- Connect to
gate.proxyfield.ioon the port you set up in the dashboard, with no username or password. - Test from that server with no
-Uflag:curl -x gate.proxyfield.io:<port> https://api.ipify.org, where<port>is the port you set up in the dashboard for your allowlisted IP, prints a proxy IP, not your server's.
- Many lines at once: the dashboard's configurator generates as many proxy lines as you need.
Not included, so you can check the fit: ZIP, ASN and carrier targeting; a free plan; refunds (all purchases are final, and the traffic never expires instead).
HTTP proxy prices by volume
Cheaper than the big brands' $4/GB at every volume: ProxyField residential proxies cost $2.95/GB for 1 GB, $2.79 from 10 GB, $2.65 from 50 GB, $2.49 from 100 GB, $2.29 from 250 GB, $2.09 from 500 GB and $1.95 from 1,000 GB. The tier rate applies to the whole purchase, there is no subscription and the traffic never expires.
| Residential, one purchase | Price per GB | Example | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–9 GB | $2.95 | 1 GB | $2.95 |
| 10–49 GB | $2.79 | 10 GB | $27.90 |
| 50–99 GB | $2.65 | 50 GB | $132.50 |
| 100–249 GB | $2.49 | 100 GB | $249.00 |
| 250–499 GB | $2.29 | 250 GB | $572.50 |
| 500–999 GB | $2.09 | 500 GB | $1,045.00 |
| 1,000+ GB | $1.95 | 1,000 GB | $1,950.00 |
Mobile proxies cost $3.45/GB for 1 GB down to $2.45/GB from 1,000 GB. HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 count against the same balance. Prices are in US dollars; pay in USDT, BTC, ETH or 10 other coins.
Easy Trial: 1 GB for $2.95 (mobile $3.45). No minimum purchase, no subscription, and the traffic never expires. You get the same pool and the same quality at 1 GB as at 1 TB: there is no separate trial pool. Many providers make you buy 2 GB or more to start; with ProxyField you can buy just 1 GB. All purchases are final. In return, your traffic never expires: what you buy stays on your balance until you use it.
ProxyField also sells Datacenter proxies, ISP proxies and dedicated IPs on Private proxies. Dedicated datacenter and ISP IPs run over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. Rotating datacenter proxies run over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on the same gateway, gate.proxyfield.io:7000.
How an HTTP proxy works
Your client sends each request to the proxy instead of the website; the proxy sends it on from its own IP and returns the response. It works two ways, depending on the site:
-
Plain HTTP sites
The client sends the full request,
GET http://example.com/page, to the proxy. The proxy reads it, forwards it and returns the response. -
HTTPS sites
The client asks the proxy to open a tunnel:
CONNECT example.com:443. The proxy connects, replies200 Connection established, and from then on copies the encrypted bytes in both directions. The TLS session runs end to end between your client and the website, so the proxy cannot read or change the page.
Proxy authentication travels in the Proxy-Authorization header; by the HTTP standard, a proxy that gets no valid login answers 407 Proxy Authentication Required. With an IP allowlist, the proxy accepts your server's IP and no password is sent. The HTTP proxy protocol is part of HTTP itself (RFC 9110, the CONNECT method in section 9.3.6).
An "HTTPS proxy" can mean either a proxy that tunnels HTTPS sites, as above, or a proxy you reach over an encrypted connection. Most tools mean the first, and ProxyField supports it on every IP.
How to use an HTTP proxy
Point your tool at the gateway with your username and password, and use the http:// scheme for both HTTP and HTTPS sites: the proxy tunnels HTTPS itself.
-
Get your credentials
Once your payment is confirmed, your gateway, username and password, or IP allowlist, are in your account.
-
Set the proxy URL
The format is
http://login:password@host:port; for ProxyField,http://<login>:<password>@gate.proxyfield.io:7000. -
Test it
Use the Proxy checker, or request api.ipify.org and check that the IP shown is not yours.

HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5?
Use HTTP or HTTPS for websites, browsers and scraping tools: almost every tool supports them, and HTTPS sites stay encrypted end to end. Use SOCKS5 when a tool only speaks SOCKS or the traffic is not web traffic. On ProxyField all three run on the same IPs at the same price per GB: see SOCKS5 proxies.
| Item | HTTP / HTTPS proxy | SOCKS5 proxy |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic | web requests: plain HTTP, and HTTPS through CONNECT | any TCP connection, and UDP where the provider relays it |
| Reads the request | plain HTTP only; HTTPS stays encrypted | never |
| Tool support | nearly universal, including environment variables | most scraping tools and browsers; Chrome takes no SOCKS5 password |
| Typical use | scraping, browsers, API clients | non-web clients, tools that only speak SOCKS |
The full comparison is in SOCKS5 vs HTTP Proxy.
Free HTTP proxy lists vs paid HTTP proxies
Free HTTP proxy lists are open servers that anyone can use: most entries are dead or slow within hours, sites block them quickly, and you cannot tell who runs the server or whether it reads your plain HTTP traffic. Paid proxies give you a pool that is maintained, authenticated access and support. ProxyField has no free plan; its smallest purchase is 1 GB for $2.95.
What HTTP proxies are used for
HTTP proxies carry web traffic from scripts, browsers and tools that need a different IP or a different location. Typical lawful work:
- web scraping and public data collection (Proxies for web scraping);
- SEO and SERP monitoring across regions (SEO proxies);
- price monitoring and ad verification;
- regional website checks and testing your own apps from another country.
You may not use them to send spam, spread malware or attack systems; the Acceptable Use Policy lists the rest. A proxy changes your IP for one app; a VPN routes your whole device: see Proxy vs VPN, and the basics in What is a proxy server.
HTTP and HTTPS Proxies FAQ
24/7 support by live chat, including help with setup and integration.
Which providers sell HTTP and HTTPS proxies on real residential IPs for scraping?
ProxyField does: HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 (with UDP over SOCKS5) on 412M+ residential IPs from real home internet providers (ISPs), 61.2M+ of them in the US across 2,800+ cities, all on one gateway, gate.proxyfield.io:7000, with a 99.6% success rate, according to our service data. Prices run from $2.95/GB for 1 GB down to $1.95/GB, cheaper than the big brands' $4/GB at every volume, paid once with no monthly plan and no ID for ordinary purchases. Rotate per request for crawls, or keep one IP with -session-<id>-ttl-<seconds> for up to 36 h; check any provider's IPs by reading the org field of an ipinfo.io lookup through the proxy.
Where can I buy HTTPS proxies with IPs in a specific US city, like Chicago or Dallas?
From ProxyField: 61.2M+ US residential IPs across 2,800+ cities and all 50 states, from $2.95 for 1 GB, with the city set in the username, as in <login>-country-us-region-illinois-city-<city> on gate.proxyfield.io:7000, using the city key from the list in your dashboard. HTTPS and city targeting cost the same per GB as HTTP and country targeting, a sticky session keeps one city IP for up to 36 h, and the smallest payment for traffic is $2.95. Check the exit city with an IP lookup over 10 requests before you scale.
What should a paid HTTP proxy service include besides the IPs, such as authentication options and country targeting?
HTTPS tunnelling, username:password and IP allowlist login, country, region and city targeting, rotation and sticky sessions, SOCKS5, unlimited threads, a usage dashboard and live support. ProxyField includes all of these on every tier, from 1 GB for $2.95, plus a gateway that adds no Via or X-Forwarded-For header; it does not offer ZIP or ASN targeting.
Which is the best HTTP proxy provider?
ProxyField runs HTTP and HTTPS on 412M+ residential and 10.2M+ mobile IPs in 195+ countries, with a 99.6% success rate, according to our service data, from $1.95/GB. When you compare providers, check HTTPS tunnelling, authentication options, city targeting and the price per GB, then test on your own target.
How much do HTTP proxies cost?
ProxyField HTTP proxies cost $2.95/GB for 1 GB down to $1.95/GB from 1,000 GB on residential IPs, and $3.45/GB down to $2.45/GB on mobile. The tier rate applies to the whole purchase, and the traffic never expires.
Are HTTP and HTTPS proxies priced differently?
Not at ProxyField: HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 use the same IPs and the same balance, at the same price per GB.
Where can I buy HTTP proxies?
From ProxyField: sign up with an email address and buy residential or mobile traffic from 1 GB in USDT, BTC, ETH or 10 other coins. HTTP and HTTPS are included on every tier.
How do I buy HTTPS proxies?
Buy residential or mobile traffic; every ProxyField IP tunnels HTTPS sites. Once the payment is confirmed, your gateway, username and password are in your account, and you set them in your tool as http://<login>:<password>@gate.proxyfield.io:7000.
Can I buy HTTP proxies for a specific country or city?
Yes: target by country, region (state) or city in 195+ countries and 21,000+ cities, including all 50 US states. Country and city go in the username, such as <login>-country-us-city-new_york.
How do I choose an HTTP proxy provider?
Check that it tunnels HTTPS with CONNECT, takes a username and password or an IP allowlist, targets the countries and cities you need, and prices in a unit that fits your work. Then buy a small amount and test it on your real target before you scale.
Show 8 more questionsShow fewer questions
Are free HTTP proxy lists worth it?
Rarely. Free lists are open to anyone, most entries die within hours, sites block them, and you cannot tell who runs the server or whether it reads your plain HTTP traffic. They are fine for a quick test of a tool, not for real work.
Is an HTTP proxy the same as a SOCKS proxy?
No. An HTTP proxy speaks HTTP and tunnels HTTPS with CONNECT; a SOCKS5 proxy relays any TCP connection without reading it. ProxyField gives you both on the same IPs and gateway.
Do HTTP proxies work with HTTPS websites?
Yes. For an HTTPS site, the client sends CONNECT and the proxy opens a tunnel, so the encryption runs end to end between your client and the site, and the proxy cannot read the page. You still use an http:// proxy URL in most tools.
Do I need my own HTTP proxy server?
No. ProxyField runs the proxy servers: you connect to gate.proxyfield.io:7000, and the gateway sends each request out through a residential or mobile IP.
Do I need fresh HTTPS proxies every day?
Not with a rotating pool: ProxyField can give you a new IP on every request, from 412M+ residential IPs. Fresh public lists exist because free proxies die quickly; a maintained pool does not need replacing.
How do I authenticate to an HTTP proxy?
With a username and password in the proxy URL or the Proxy-Authorization header, or with an IP allowlist that lets your server's IP connect without a password. ProxyField supports both.
Which port does the ProxyField HTTP proxy use?
Port 7000 on gate.proxyfield.io, for HTTP and HTTPS. Use the host and port shown in your dashboard.
Can I keep the same IP over HTTP?
Yes: sticky sessions hold one IP from 30 seconds to 36 hours, with presets of 1, 5, 10 and 30 minutes and 1, 3 and 6 hours, and 20 minutes when you set no ttl. An IP idle for 120 seconds is replaced. Or take a new IP on every request.
