Cyprus proxies
Our catalogue lists five of Cyprus’s six districts, 10 city records and 15 networks. All four of the country’s carriers are in the pool: Primetel in six cities out of nine, Cyta and Cablenet in four, Epic in two. Nicosia holds eight networks, Limassol six, Paphos four. Four more networks in the catalogue belong to the north of the island and run through Turkish providers. Of 25 well known Cypriot sites we checked from Europe, 19 are open, and the closed ones are Bazaraki, Foody, AlphaMega, Public, Hellenic Bank and In-Cyprus.

What Cypriot addresses get used for

What looks different from outside Cyprus
Of 25 sites we checked, 19 opened on the first request and six refused. We sell addresses rather than a way past detection.
What a residential address gives you here
Cities people ask for here
A city is set with the _city_ suffix. The number beside it is how many networks our pool holds there.
The setups people take here most often

Connection strings for Cyprus
The country is pinned with a suffix in the login. Host, port and password stay the same as for any other country.
A city goes in as a second suffix. Here it matters more than it seems: Nicosia holds the most networks, but four of its eight belong to the north of the island. For a purely Cypriot look take Limassol or pin a carrier.
Cypriot exits, four ways
# rotating, a new address per request
curl -x login_c_CY:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org
# sticky, the same address for an hour
curl -x login_c_CY_s_7_ttl_1h:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org
# pinned to Limassol, six Cypriot networks
curl -x login_c_CY_city_Limassol:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org
# SOCKS5 on the same port: the scheme picks the protocol, not the number
curl -x socks5h://login_c_CY:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.orgFour carriers and four networks from the north
All four carriers of the Republic of Cyprus are in the pool: Primetel in six cities out of nine, the state-owned Cyta in four, Cablenet in four, Epic in two. That is even coverage for a small country, and pinning any of the four gives a home look.
Four networks in the catalogue stand apart. KKTCELL, Comtech and Duru in Nicosia and the Eastern Mediterranean University in Famagusta operate in the north of the island through Turkish providers. An address on them geolocates as Cyprus but looks to a platform like a Turkish network, and some Cypriot and European services treat it differently. If you need the look of a Republic of Cyprus subscriber, pin Primetel, Cyta, Cablenet or Epic.
The rest is Netflash in Limassol and Paralimni, the local Alphanet, MyTelco, Cosmos Wireless, Ecotech and Wifiber in one city each, and Starlink in Nicosia, which geolocates loosely.
Nicosia, Limassol and Paphos hold the catalogue
The catalogue names five districts out of six; Kyrenia is absent. Nicosia holds eight networks, but four of them are from the north, so the purely Cypriot ones there are four. Limassol six, Paphos four, Paralimni three, Larnaca and Pissouri two each, Ayia Napa, Polis and Famagusta one.
In three cities out of nine exactly one network is available. For a job that means: take Cyprus as Limassol or with a pinned carrier, and Nicosia with the northern networks in mind.
Nineteen sites out of 25 are open
We checked 25 well known Cypriot domains from Europe with a full browser header set, on 16 October 2026. Nineteen opened: Wolt, Stephanis, the Bank of Cyprus and Ancoria banks, the Central Bank, the CSE exchange, JCC, gov.cy, the Cyta, Epic, Primetel and Cablenet carriers, Cyprus Airways, Hermes airports, and the Cyprus Mail, Philenews, Sigmalive, Reporter and Kathimerini outlets.
Six refused. Bazaraki, Foody, AlphaMega and In-Cyprus met the request with a Cloudflare challenge, Hellenic Bank with a Cloudflare block page on the address, and Public answered “access denied”. That is protection against automation and country filtering, and for Bazaraki and Foody a Cypriot address is needed anyway: listings and prices there are tied to the local market.
The practical conclusion: banks, carriers, government sites and publishers are open from outside, and an address there is for local conditions. Classifieds, delivery and some retail are closed, and there a Cypriot address is for access.
What Cypriot sites check beyond the address
The languages are Greek and English, with Turkish in the north. Cyta, Epic and Stephanis served a foreign address their Greek edition, Cyprus Airways and Ancoria English. For collecting search results that is two passes.
The currency is the euro. A dot for thousands and a comma for cents. Bank dashboards expect a Cypriot number and often a local ID.
The time zone is UTC+2 with daylight saving. The weekend is Saturday and Sunday.
How stable the exits are here
In Nicosia, Limassol and Paphos there is something to switch to and sessions hold. In the other cities there are one to three networks, and almost no rotation inside the city.
On size, plainly: 15 networks, four carriers holding the republic, four networks from the north. Plan your load against a pinned carrier or Limassol.
Choosing the setup for a Cypriot target
The short fork.
- You need a Republic of Cyprus subscriber: Primetel, Cyta, Cablenet or Epic pinned.
- You need rotation without the northern networks: Limassol, six networks.
- You need the capital: Nicosia, with the four northern networks in mind.
- The target is closed from outside: country level, which is Bazaraki, Foody, AlphaMega, Public, Hellenic Bank.
- You need a bank dashboard: a one hour sticky session and a Cypriot number.
What a month of Cypriot work costs
It is counted in traffic. A dollar per gigabyte.
- Monitoring Bazaraki listings, 20,000 a day with images blocked, roughly 110 KB per page: about 2.2 GB a day, around 66 GB a month, $66 on residential.
- A daily sweep of one Bazaraki category: a few gigabytes.
- Ad verification, 200 placements a day at about 400 KB each: under 2.5 GB a month.
The legal part, stated plainly
Cyprus applies the GDPR, supervised by the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection. Collecting publicly posted prices and processing personal data are different things, and the second is regulated separately.
Communications are regulated by OCECPR. A proxy changes none of what you are allowed to do with data. It changes only which country the request appears to come from.
This is general information rather than legal advice. Our terms require lawful use and we act on abuse reports.
Verifying a Cypriot exit
Under a minute. The first command matters most here: it shows whether you are on a Cypriot carrier or on a network from the north of the island.
Three checks
# 1. is the exit Cypriot, and on which network
curl -s -x login_c_CY_city_Limassol:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://ipinfo.io/json
# 2. does a sticky session hold the same address
for i in 1 2 3; do curl -s -x login_c_CY_s_7_ttl_1h:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org; echo; done
# 3. does the challenged classifieds site open through the exit

Where the numbers come from
The numbers on districts, cities and networks come from our residential pool catalogue as of 16 October 2026. Service entries with no city name are not counted. We ran the check on 25 Cypriot domains ourselves from Europe on the same day, with a full browser header set and a 45 second limit per answer.
- OCECPR, the Cypriot communications regulatorOfficial carrier data, if you want to check the shape of the market against our pool.
- CytaThe state carrier, four cities in the pool.
- Commissioner for Personal Data ProtectionThe GDPR supervisor in Cyprus.
- Cyprus MailThe main English-language outlet, open from outside without an address.
Questions people ask before buying Cypriot addresses
Are Cyta, Epic, Primetel and Cablenet in the pool?
Yes, all four: Primetel in six cities out of nine, Cyta and Cablenet in four, Epic in two. Cyprus is one of the few countries in the catalogue where the carriers are fully represented.
What are the networks from the north of the island?
KKTCELL, Comtech, Duru and the Eastern Mediterranean University operate in the north through Turkish providers. An address on them geolocates as Cyprus but looks to a platform like a Turkish network. Pin one of the republic’s four carriers if that matters.
Do Cypriot sites block foreigners?
Some do. Of the 25 we checked, Bazaraki, Foody, AlphaMega and In-Cyprus sit behind a Cloudflare challenge, Hellenic Bank behind a block, and Public answered “access denied”. Banks, carriers and publishers are open.
Where is the deepest pool?
Nicosia has eight networks, but four are from the north. Of purely Cypriot ones Limassol has the most, six. Paphos holds four, Paralimni three.
Do Cypriot addresses cost more?
No. The price is the same everywhere: residential from $1.00 per GB.
