Why use a Colombo IP rather than one anywhere in Sri Lanka?
An IP chosen only by country can land anywhere in Sri Lanka; a Colombo IP shows what this city sees. Check PickMe Food and ride availability, Daraz prices and English, Sinhala and Tamil search ads as users in Kollupitiya or Wellawatte see them.
Colombo is the capital of the Western Province, which accounts for about 80% of Sri Lanka's industrial value added on 5.7% of the land area. Neighbourhoods such as Fort, Pettah, Kollupitiya and Bambalapitiya often get different delivery slots, prices and local results.
How do I connect through a Colombo IP?
Put USERNAME-country-lk-city-colombo in the username field and connect to gw.banyanproxies.com, port 7777 for HTTP and HTTPS or 7778 for SOCKS5. Each new connection gets another Colombo home IP; add a session ID and a duration to keep one. The city targeting page gives Python and Node.js versions.
# Rotating Colombo IP over HTTP
curl -x http://gw.banyanproxies.com:7777 \
-U "USERNAME-country-lk-city-colombo:PASSWORD" \

# One Colombo IP kept for 10 minutes, over SOCKS5
curl --socks5-hostname gw.banyanproxies.com:7778 \

https://ipinfo.io/jsonWhich networks are behind Colombo home IPs?
Home internet in Colombo comes from providers including SLTMobitel and Dialog Axiata. A residential IP carries the network number (ASN) of the ISP behind it. Nationally, TRCSL figures for June 2026 count 2.02 million fixed broadband subscriptions, led by SLT-Mobitel and Dialog. To stay on one network, add -asn-9329 for SLT-Mobitel; the ASN table lists the others.
Will websites place the IP in Colombo?
Sites place an IP with their own geolocation database, and those databases can label a Colombo home with a nearby place: Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia, Moratuwa or Negombo. Check the exit before a large job. Match the rest of the setup too: Colombo runs on Asia/Colombo (UTC+05:30, Sri Lanka Standard Time), and its phone numbers use 011.
Which local rules apply in Sri Lanka?
Using a residential proxy to view public pages is not, in itself, an offence in Sri Lanka; what matters is the use and the target's terms. Personal data falls under the Personal Data Protection Act No. 9 of 2022. Digital services sold into Sri Lanka carry 18% VAT, extended to digital services from non-residents from 1 July 2026. Prices on local sites are in Sri Lankan rupee (LKR). This is not legal advice; see rules by country.
Where do I compare before buying Colombo proxies?
Before you buy Colombo IPs, compare providers in the best city proxies for Asia ranking and the dated city proxy price index. For a worked example, see app geo-testing; remaining questions are answered in the docs.
Which Colombo proxy plan should I buy?
One price per GB in Colombo and every other city, city and ASN targeting included. You top up the price of the plan you pick in crypto, never less than $25; unused GB never lapse.

What else do buyers ask about Colombo proxies?
Will a Colombo IP show as Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia or Kotte?
It can. Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia lies just south of the Colombo Municipal Council area. Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, the administrative capital, is adjacent to the city. Geolocation databases may label a home IP with one of these municipalities, or only with Western Province. Sites using city-level lookups usually treat them all as the Colombo market.
Which language do Colombo search results use?
Sinhala and Tamil are Sri Lanka's official languages, and English is a recognised link language. English is widely used for commercial purposes, so many Colombo sites and ads appear in English. Set the browser language to Sinhala or Tamil to see results and ads in those languages. Results change with account and browser settings.
Can I target a Colombo postcode?
Targeting works at city level, not by postcode. Colombo is split into numbered postal districts, Colombo 1 to Colombo 15, with five-digit codes such as 00300 for Colombo 3 (Kollupitiya). You can still enter an address or postcode in delivery apps and shopping sites. Those sites then show availability and fees for that district.
How much do Colombo residential proxies cost?
$1.88 for 1 GB, $5.94 for 10 GB and $50 for 100 GB, as of October 2026. Colombo costs the same per GB as every other city, and the city parameter adds nothing. Traffic never expires. You top up the price of the plan you pick, never less than $25.
Can I keep one Colombo IP for a whole session?
Yes, with a sticky session: add -session-col1-ttl-20 after -city-colombo to keep one IP for 20 minutes; the cap is 30 minutes, and a home device that goes offline ends the session sooner. Use a new session ID to get a different Colombo IP.
Which ISP networks carry Colombo home IPs?
Home broadband in Colombo comes from SLTMobitel and Dialog Axiata. Each exit IP carries its ISP's network number, so you can keep a job on one network with the ASN segment, such as -asn-9329 for SLT-Mobitel. ASN targeting costs nothing extra.
Which other cities in Sri Lanka can I target?
Every city page we publish for Sri Lanka, with its parameter and local ISPs. The Sri Lanka overview compares them side by side, and the city index lists all 70 cities.
