ASN Targeting ​

Our residential proxies let you route your traffic to specific carriers by targeting their Autonomous System Number (ASN). To do this, simply include the desired ASN number in your request.

Example: targeting AT&T ​

Below is an example for AT&T, whose ASN in the United States is 6389:

cURL ​

curl -x gateway.ipxss.com:7777 -U "USERNAME-zone-res-region-us-asn-AS6389:PASSWORD" ipinfo.ipxss.com

Finding ASN numbers ​

You can find the “ASN numbers” for different carriers here.

Important notes: ​

  • Rotating Pool: The residential proxy pool is rotating, so there may not always be IPs from a specific ASN available at a given time. If that happens, you will receive an error response. In that case, try targeting a different ASN.
  • Location Parameters: You may use either country/region or ASN for each request. If both are used together, only the country/region parameter will take effect.
