## Why use a Kandy IP rather than one anywhere in Sri Lanka?

Kandy generates the highest income in Sri Lanka after Colombo and Gampaha, with textile, gemstone, furniture, IT and jewellery industries. That makes Kandy a market of its own for prices, ads and local search. Check hotel and tour prices, delivery availability on Daraz and PickMe, and local search ads as users in the hill capital see them, versus Colombo.

Teams usually compare a few areas, for example Peradeniya, Katugastota and Ampitiya, by setting the address inside the target site once the page loads from a Kandy IP.

## How do I connect through a Kandy IP?

Put `USERNAME-country-lk-city-kandy` 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 Kandy 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 Kandy IP, rotating then sticky*

```bash
# Rotating Kandy IP over HTTP
curl -x http://gw.banyanproxies.com:7777 \
  -U "USERNAME-country-lk-city-kandy:PASSWORD" \
  https://ipinfo.io/json

# One Kandy IP kept for 10 minutes, over SOCKS5
curl --socks5-hostname gw.banyanproxies.com:7778 \
  -U "USERNAME-country-lk-city-kandy-session-kan1-ttl-10:PASSWORD" \
  https://ipinfo.io/json
```

## Which networks are behind Kandy home IPs?

TRCSL figures for June 2026 count 2.02 million fixed broadband subscriptions, led by SLT-Mobitel and Dialog. In Kandy, fixed-line service is sold by SLTMobitel and Dialog Axiata, so exit IPs belong to these networks. ASN targeting is free: `USERNAME-country-lk-city-kandy-asn-18001` asks for Dialog only. Each filter shrinks the pool.

## Will websites place the IP in Kandy?

Expect some Kandy IPs to show as Peradeniya, Kundasale or Matale in lookup tools: they share networks and databases draw city borders differently. Use the [city check guide](https://banyanproxies.com/guides/verify-proxy-city/) on the database your target uses. Local clock: Asia/Colombo (UTC+05:30, Sri Lanka Standard Time).

## Which local rules apply in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka's data protection framework is Personal Data Protection Act No. 9 of 2022, amended in 2025 (main provisions not yet in force). If your checks collect personal data, that law applies on top of the target's terms. Local prices show in Sri Lankan rupee (LKR), and 18% VAT, extended to digital services from non-residents from 1 July 2026. Our [Acceptable Use Policy](https://banyanproxies.com/acceptable-use/) blocks banking, government and payment portals. Not legal advice.

## Where do I compare before buying Kandy proxies?

The [best city proxies for Asia](https://banyanproxies.com/best/asia-city-proxies-2026/) page ranks providers for cities like Kandy, and the [price index](https://banyanproxies.com/research/asia-city-proxy-price-index-2026/) lists each price with the day it was read. The [marketplace price checks by city](https://banyanproxies.com/use-cases/marketplace-price-monitoring/) page shows a full job, and the [glossary](https://banyanproxies.com/glossary/) covers the rest.

## Which Kandy proxy plan should I buy?

One price per GB in Kandy 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.

| Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| City test | 1 GB | $1.88 | $1.88/GB |
| Team | 10 GB | $5.94 | $0.59/GB |
| Business | 100 GB | $50 | $0.50/GB |
| Terabyte | 1 TB | $500 | $0.50/GB |

Crypto only (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). You top up the price of the plan you pick, never less than $25, and the plan is bought from the balance; anything left stays there. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Prices in USD.

## What else do buyers ask about Kandy proxies?

### Will a Kandy IP show as Peradeniya or Katugastota?

It can. Kandy has grown to take in Peradeniya, home of the University of Peradeniya, and Katugastota lies to the north. Geolocation databases may label home IPs with these places, or only with Central Province. Sites using city-level lookups usually treat them as the Kandy area. Check the reported city with a lookup tool before location-sensitive tests.

### Which ISP networks are behind Kandy home IPs?

SLTMobitel (Sri Lanka Telecom) and Dialog both sell fixed broadband in Sri Lanka, including fibre to the home. TRCSL data counted 2.02 million fixed broadband subscriptions nationally in June 2026. Fibre made up about 19% of fixed-line connections and LTE about 60%. Many home connections therefore run over fixed-wireless LTE as well as fibre.

### Can I target a Kandy postcode?

Targeting works at city level, not by postcode. Kandy's postcode is 20000. You can still enter a delivery address or postcode inside shopping and delivery sites. The site then shows delivery charges, stock and timings for Kandy rather than Colombo. This is useful when comparing regional delivery fees.

### Is there a surcharge for targeting Kandy?

No. City targeting is part of every Banyan Proxies plan, so a Kandy GB costs the same as a country-level GB: $1.88 on the 1 GB plan and $0.50/GB on the 1 TB plan (October 2026). Some providers bill city traffic at a higher rate; the [surcharge comparison](https://banyanproxies.com/compare/city-targeting-surcharges/) lists them.

### Which protocols work with Kandy proxies?

HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Connect to `gw.banyanproxies.com` on port 7777 for HTTP and HTTPS, or 7778 for SOCKS5, with `USERNAME-country-lk-city-kandy` as the username.

### Which time zone and language should I set for Kandy?

Kandy runs on Asia/Colombo (UTC+05:30, Sri Lanka Standard Time). Set the browser or headless tool to that zone and to Sinhala or Tamil, so opening hours, delivery slots and local results match the IP. Local phone numbers use 081, which helps when you check click-to-call ads.
