Quick answer
Is there a city proxy trial for Asian cities?
There is no free trial at Banyan Proxies: the 1 GB plan at $1.88 is the test, paid from the $25 minimum top-up, with the rest kept on your balance (October 2026). Add -country-my-city-george_town or any city parameter to the username, check the exit city, then buy a larger plan. No KYC.
How do I test a city in five steps?
Create an account
Open the client area and save the account number: it is your login. Your account number is your login: save it somewhere safe. Add an email (optional) if you want a way to recover it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered.
Top up in crypto
For the 1 GB test, send the $25 minimum in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; for a larger plan, send its price. Use the exact amount and network shown, then click "I've sent the payment". The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network confirms it.
Buy a plan
Buy a residential plan from the balance. Credentials appear in your dashboard as soon as you buy a plan from your confirmed crypto balance.
Build the username
Start from your username and add
-country-<cc>-city-<city>, for example-country-vn-city-hanoi. Each city page gives the exact parameter.Connect and check
Use host
gw.banyanproxies.com, port 7777 (HTTP/HTTPS) or 7778 (SOCKS5), then open an IP lookup through the proxy and read the city.
Which settings go in a browser or a tool?
Any tool that accepts an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy with a username and password works.
- Host:
gw.banyanproxies.com - Port: 7777 for HTTP and HTTPS, 7778 for SOCKS5
- Username:
USERNAME-country-th-city-chiang_mai(your own username, then the segments) - Password: your proxy password from the client area
In Firefox, set the proxy under Settings > Network Settings > Manual proxy configuration. Chrome uses the system proxy, which does not accept a username in the address; use an extension that supports authenticated proxies, or a separate browser profile set up for that tool.
How do I test from the command line?
One request shows whether the credentials, the port and the city work.
curl -x http://gw.banyanproxies.com:7777 \
-U "USERNAME-country-my-city-kuala_lumpur:PASSWORD" \
https://ipinfo.io/jsonWhat do common errors mean?
- 407 Proxy Authentication Required: the username or password is wrong. Copy them again from the client area, and check that the city segment uses hyphens between parts and underscores inside names.
- Connection refused or timeout on the gateway: check the port: 7777 for HTTP, 7778 for SOCKS5.
- A different city in the lookup: geolocation databases disagree near city borders; see how to check a proxy's city.
- Errors only for one city: home devices may be offline there at that hour; retry later, or use a nearby city.
What comes after the first request?
Pick the city on the city index, learn the full syntax on city targeting, keep one IP with sticky sessions, and copy code from the docs. When the test works, choose a larger plan on the pricing page; paying is explained on buy with crypto.
What else do buyers ask before testing a city?
How long does a top-up take?
It is credited once the network confirms it; the time depends on the coin and the network, and the payment page shows the usual times. We do not promise a delay.
Can I test before a bigger plan?
No free trial: test with the 1 GB plan, paid from the minimum top-up; the rest of the top-up stays on your balance.
Can several people share one plan?
Yes, with sub-users: Sub-users with their own credentials and traffic cap, one per client or project. Each gets its own credentials and traffic cap.
Do I need an email?
No. Account-number login; email is optional. Add one only if you want a way to recover the account.
