Nigeria proxies

Q: How do I get a Nigerian IP address?

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

Q: Can I target a specific city or state in Nigeria?

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

Nigerian shoppers buy through Jumia, Konga and the classifieds site Jiji, as well as sellers on Instagram and WhatsApp, and naira prices are updated often. Nigerian residential IPs let teams check those offers, English-language search results and the ads served to users in Lagos, Abuja or Kano.
