Kenya proxies

Q: How do I get a Kenyan IP address?

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

Q: Can I target a specific city or countie in Kenya?

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

Kenya is known for mobile money, and M-Pesa payments are built into shopping on Jumia, Kilimall, Jiji classifieds and many local stores. Kenyan residential IPs help teams check shilling pricing, English and Swahili search results and ads targeted at users in Nairobi or Mombasa.
