Compare food-delivery availability on Grab and foodpanda, hotel and tour prices, and marketplace shipping fees for Penang addresses, and view local search results in a multilingual city. An IP picked at country level would mix George Town results with other cities, which hides local differences. George Town is the commercial centre for northern Malaysia. Well-known areas include Gurney Drive, Tanjong Tokong, Jelutong, Ayer Itam and Gelugor. ## How do I connect through a George Town IP? Put `USERNAME-country-my-city-george_town` 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 George Town home IP; add a session ID and a duration to keep one. The [city targeting page](https://banyanproxies.com/targeting/city/) gives Python and Node.js versions. *curl: a George Town IP, rotating then sticky* ```bash # Rotating George Town IP over HTTP curl -x http://gw.banyanproxies.com:7777 \ -U "USERNAME-country-my-city-george_town:PASSWORD" \ https://ipinfo.io/json # One George Town IP kept for 10 minutes, over SOCKS5 curl --socks5-hostname gw.banyanproxies.com:7778 \ -U "USERNAME-country-my-city-george_town-session-geo1-ttl-10:PASSWORD" \ https://ipinfo.io/json ``` ## Which networks are behind George Town home IPs?

TM's Unifi is the largest fixed broadband provider, with 3.229 million Unifi Home subscribers at 1Q FY2026; Maxis reported 813,000 home subscriptions at Q2 2026. A session can be kept on one of them with the ASN segment, such as `-asn-4788` (TM Unifi).

George Town is surrounded by places that geolocation databases sometimes report instead, such as Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam, Seberang Perai or Bayan Lepas. A site that geolocates by IP usually treats them as the same market, but some delivery and search features do not. Set the browser time zone to UTC+08:00 for consistent results. ## Which local rules apply in Malaysia? Collecting public prices or search results from George Town is a common business task; collecting personal data brings the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 into play. Marketplaces such as Shopee, Lazada and Grab price in Malaysian ringgit (MYR). Tax note: 8% service tax on digital services from foreign providers since 1 March 2024.

Since its boundary was extended in 2015, the City of George Town covers Penang Island and surrounding islets. Its 2020 census population was 794,313. Geolocation databases may still label island IPs as Bayan Lepas, Ayer Itam or just Penang. Mainland areas such as Butterworth are not part of the city. ### Which languages are used in George Town? Malay is Penang's official language, and English is widely used. Penang Hokkien serves as an unofficial lingua franca. Mandarin and Tamil are used as teaching languages in Chinese and Tamil schools. Search results mostly show Malay and English pages, while local reviews and social posts often include Chinese. ### Can I target a George Town postcode? Targeting works at city level, not by postcode. Penang Island postcodes start with 10 or 11. For example, Pulau Tikus uses codes from 10250. Postcodes remain useful inside shopping sites. Enter one as the delivery address to see Penang shipping fees and delivery times. ### What is the smallest George Town plan I can buy? The 1 GB plan, at $1.88 (October 2026). It is paid from a crypto top-up of at least $25; the rest of the top-up stays on your balance and never expires. 1 GB is enough to test George Town on a few hundred pages of a typical target before a larger plan. ### Do I need to show ID to buy George Town proxies? No. Banyan Proxies asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents, for George Town or any other city. You sign in with an account number, and adding an email is up to you. Payment is in crypto: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Use still follows the [Acceptable Use Policy](https://banyanproxies.com/acceptable-use/). ### Will a George Town IP ever show as Butterworth? It can. Butterworth, Bukit Mertajam, Seberang Perai and Bayan Lepas sit close to George Town, and geolocation databases draw city borders their own way. Check the exit city in the lookup your target uses before a large job; the [city check guide](https://banyanproxies.com/guides/verify-proxy-city/) shows how. Every page of a session stays on one IP with a sticky session. ## Which nearby markets in Malaysia have a page? Every city page we publish for Malaysia, with its parameter and local ISPs.
