How To Use Geo-targeting By ASN With Residential Proxies : Rayobyte

➡️ ASN Targeting Overview

ASN targeting allows you to request a Residential Proxy exit IP belonging to a particular network or Internet Service Provider.

ASN stands for Autonomous System Number. Each ASN identifies a network that manages a group of IP addresses.

This advanced feature currently requires you to manually append an ASN parameter to your proxy password.

Use the following parameter:

-asn-AS12345

Include the AS prefix before the ASN number.

United States example:

USERNAME:PASSWORD-country-US-asn-AS7922@la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000

United Kingdom example:

USERNAME:PASSWORD-country-GB-asn-AS5378@la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000

The ASNs above are examples and do not guarantee current availability.

curl -x "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD-country-US-asn-AS7922@la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000" https://ipinfo.io/json

Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your own Residential Proxy credentials.

ASN targeting is one of the most restrictive targeting options because the exit IP must belong to the requested network.

Some ASNs may have few or no active residential devices.
Cloud and datacenter ASNs may be difficult or impossible to match within a residential pool.
Availability may change as residential devices connect and disconnect.

Start by testing Country + ASN only:

PASSWORD-country-US-asn-AS7922

After confirming that a matching exit is available, add any additional region, city, ZIP, or session parameters you require.
