Costa Rica proxies

Q: How do I get a Costa Rican IP address?

Add -country-cr to your proxy username and connect to gw.proxonym.com:8000 (HTTP) or :1080 (SOCKS5). Every request then leaves from a residential IP in Costa Rica. Drop the session parameter to get a new IP on each request.

Q: Can I target a specific city or province in Costa Rica?

Yes. Append -city-san_jose for San José, or -state-san_jose for San José. Use either a city or a province, not both. If no IP matches, the gateway returns a 502 error and you can widen the targeting.

Costa Rica pairs a Spanish-language domestic market with a large tourism sector, so both local retail prices and hotel, tour and car rental rates are common monitoring targets. Costa Rican residential IPs show colón pricing on sites such as Walmart, Gollo and Encuentra24 and the Google results that users in San José see.
