An IP picked at country level would mix Kota Kinabalu results with other cities, which hides local differences. Wikipedia describes Kota Kinabalu's economy as dominated by the primary sector of industry. Well-known areas include Likas, Luyang, Tanjung Aru, Inanam and Sembulan. ## How do I connect through a Kota Kinabalu IP? Put `USERNAME-country-my-city-kota_kinabalu` 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 Kota Kinabalu 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 Kota Kinabalu IP, rotating then sticky* ```bash # Rotating Kota Kinabalu IP over HTTP curl -x http://gw.banyanproxies.com:7777 \ -U "USERNAME-country-my-city-kota_kinabalu:PASSWORD" \ https://ipinfo.io/json # One Kota Kinabalu IP kept for 10 minutes, over SOCKS5 curl --socks5-hostname gw.banyanproxies.com:7778 \ -U "USERNAME-country-my-city-kota_kinabalu-session-kot1-ttl-10:PASSWORD" \ https://ipinfo.io/json ``` ## Which networks are behind Kota Kinabalu home IPs?

Kota Kinabalu is surrounded by places that geolocation databases sometimes report instead, such as Penampang, Putatan or Tuaran.

The IANA time zone database files Sabah under Asia/Kuching rather than Asia/Kuala_Lumpur. Both have the same offset, and daylight saving time is not observed. Local store hours and delivery slots therefore match Kuala Lumpur time. ### Will a Kota Kinabalu IP show as Penampang or Putatan? It can. Penampang and Putatan are separate districts next to the city. Together with Kota Kinabalu, they had 731,406 residents in the 2020 census. Geolocation databases may assign IPs to these districts or just to Sabah. Check the city field of each IP before relying on it. ### Which ISP networks are behind Kota Kinabalu home IPs? Telekom Malaysia runs Unifi fibre in Sabah and has internet exchange nodes in Kota Kinabalu. Maxis listed Kota Kinabalu among its first Sabah fibre towns in 2017. CelcomDigi also sells fibre in East Malaysia. TIME's home fibre is limited to Peninsular Malaysia, so it is unlikely here. ### What is the smallest Kota Kinabalu 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 Kota Kinabalu on a few hundred pages of a typical target before a larger plan. ### Do I need to show ID to buy Kota Kinabalu proxies? No. Banyan Proxies asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents, for Kota Kinabalu 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/). ## Which nearby markets in Malaysia have a page?
