Ethiopia proxies

Q: How do I get an Ethiopian IP address?

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

Q: Can I target a specific city or region in Ethiopia?

Yes. Append -city-addis_ababa for Addis Ababa, or -state-oromia for Oromia. Use either a city or a region, not both. If no IP matches, the gateway returns a 502 error and you can widen the targeting.

Ethiopian users browse in Amharic, English and other local languages, and digital payments often run through mobile money such as telebirr. Ethiopian residential IPs let teams check birr pricing, local search results and the ads aimed at users in Addis Ababa, Adama or Hawassa.
