Tanzania proxies
Our catalogue lists 11 of Tanzania’s 31 regions, 11 cities and 20 networks. The shape of the pool is simple: Dar es Salaam holds 17 networks, 13 of them only there, and the rest of the country is held by the state-owned TTCL, present in ten cities out of 11 and the only network in five of them. Of the mobile carriers only Vodacom in Dar es Salaam and Halotel under the name Viettel in two cities are in the pool; Airtel and Yas, the former Tigo, are absent. Of 24 well known Tanzanian sites we checked from Europe, 20 are open, and the closed ones are Jiji, NMB and IPP Media.
What we have in Tanzania
The price is the same as in every other country we cover.
What Tanzanian addresses get used for
Classifieds
Jiji Tanzania: closed from outside by a Cloudflare challenge, strictly a local-address job.
Banks and payments
CRDB, NMB, AzamPay, Selcom: NMB is closed from outside, the rest is open, the wallets expect a Tanzanian number.
Carriers
Vodacom, Airtel, Yas, Halotel, TTCL: all open, Tigo already answers under the Yas brand.
Betting
betPawa: open, the address is for Tanzanian odds and terms.
Ad verification and search results
The Citizen, Mwananchi, Daily News, google.co.tz: IPP Media sits behind a Cloudflare challenge.
What looks different from outside Tanzania
Of 24 sites we checked, 20 opened on the first request. Three met the request with a Cloudflare challenge, one failed the certificate check. 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, with spaces replaced by hyphens. The number beside it is how many networks our pool holds there.
The setups people take here most often
- 01Residential plus Dar es SalaamSeventeen networks and the only real rotation across autonomous systems
- 02Residential, country level, with TTCL pinnedTen cities out of 11 on the state carrier
- 03Residential plus ZanzibarThree networks, tourism and the island
- 04A one hour sticky sessionFor banks and mobile money dashboards
Connection strings for Tanzania
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, with spaces replaced by hyphens. Without it you most often get Dar es Salaam, which is right for most jobs. Zanzibar, Arusha and Dodoma are for when the target looks at the region.

Tanzania Telecommunications, the state carrier, is present in ten cities out of 11 and is the only network in five of them: Mwanza, Moshi, Tabora, Sumbawanga, Kahama. Habari Node in three, Liquid and Viettel, which operates as Halotel, in two.
The mobile carriers are only partly visible in the pool: Vodacom only in Dar es Salaam, Halotel in two cities, and Airtel and Yas, the former Tigo, not at all. If the target expects Airtel or Yas specifically, they cannot be pinned here.
Dar es Salaam holds 17 networks, 13 of them only there: Simbanet, Cats-Net, Wincable, Kasi, Green Telecom, Savanna Fibre and others. Three networks in the pool are not home connections: the COSTECH science commission, the e-Government Authority, and Starlink in Dodoma, which geolocates loosely. Savanna Fibre and Wananchi appear under two names each, so by unique company the count is 18.
Eleven cities from 31 regions
The catalogue names 11 regions out of 31, one city in each: Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar, Arusha, Dodoma, Mbeya, Morogoro, Mwanza, Moshi, Tabora, Sumbawanga, Kahama. Depth exists only in Dar es Salaam; Zanzibar holds three networks, four cities two each, five cities one.
For a job that means something simple: Tanzania in our pool is Dar es Salaam. The rest gives the right region but no rotation inside it.
Twenty sites out of 24 are open
We checked 24 well known Tanzanian domains from Europe with a full browser header set, on 16 October 2026. Twenty opened: the Vodacom, Airtel, Yas, Halotel and TTCL carriers, the CRDB bank, the Bank of Tanzania, AzamPay, Selcom, betPawa, the TRA tax office, the NIDA registry, the TCRA regulator, Air Tanzania, Precision Air, the Citizen, Mwananchi and Daily News outlets, the tourism portal and DAWASA.
Jiji, NMB and IPP Media met the request with a Cloudflare challenge and answered 403. The DSE exchange failed the certificate check. That is protection against automation rather than a country filter, but for Jiji a Tanzanian address is needed anyway: listings and prices there are tied to the local market.
The practical conclusion: carriers, most banks, government sites and publishers are open from outside, and an address there is for local conditions. Jiji and NMB are closed, and there a Tanzanian address is for access, though it does not lift the challenge by itself.
What Tanzanian sites check beyond the address
The languages are Swahili and English. The commercial web is English, the outlets are in both, Mwananchi in Swahili. For collecting search results that is two passes.
The currency is the shilling, TZS, written TSh. Prices are large, usually in the thousands and millions, with a comma for thousands. Payments go through mobile money, M-Pesa, Mixx by Yas and Airtel Money, which expect a Tanzanian number.
The time zone is UTC+3 with no daylight saving. The weekend is Saturday and Sunday.
How stable the exits are here
In Dar es Salaam there is plenty to switch to and sessions hold. Across the rest of the country there are one or two networks per city, and no rotation inside the city.
On size, plainly: 20 networks by name, 18 unique, 17 in Dar es Salaam. Plan your load against the city and pin TTCL for everything outside it.
Choosing the setup for a Tanzanian target
The short fork.
- You need rotation across autonomous systems: Dar es Salaam unpinned, 17 networks.
- You need the whole country on one carrier: TTCL pinned, ten cities.
- You need a mobile carrier: Vodacom in Dar es Salaam or Halotel; Airtel and Yas are not in the pool.
- The target is closed from outside: country level, which is Jiji, NMB, IPP Media.
- You need a mobile money dashboard: a one hour sticky session and a Tanzanian number.
What a month of Tanzanian work costs
It is counted in traffic. A dollar per gigabyte.
- Monitoring Jiji 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 Jiji 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
Tanzania has a personal data protection act from 2022, supervised by the Personal Data Protection Commission. Collecting publicly posted prices and processing personal data are different things, and the second is regulated separately.
Communications are regulated by the TCRA. 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 Tanzanian exit
Under a minute. The first command shows the carrier: outside Dar es Salaam it is almost always TTCL.

Where the numbers come from
The numbers on regions, 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 24 Tanzanian domains ourselves from Europe on the same day, with a full browser header set and a 45 second limit per answer.
- TCRA, the Tanzanian communications regulatorOfficial carrier data, if you want to check the shape of the market against our pool.
- TTCLThe state carrier and the widest network in the pool: ten cities out of 11.
- Vodacom TanzaniaThe only major mobile carrier in the pool under its own name.
- The CitizenThe main English-language outlet, open from outside without an address.
Questions people ask before buying Tanzanian addresses
Are Vodacom, Airtel and Yas in the pool?
Vodacom is, only in Dar es Salaam. Halotel is there under the name Viettel in two cities. Airtel and Yas, the former Tigo, are not in the pool.
Where is the deepest pool?
Dar es Salaam: 17 networks out of 20, 13 of them only there. Zanzibar holds three, the rest of the country one or two. Outside the city it is almost always TTCL.
Do Tanzanian sites block foreigners?
Hardly. Of the 24 we checked, 20 opened. Jiji, NMB and IPP Media sit behind a Cloudflare challenge, and the DSE exchange fails the certificate check.
Will the address open mobile money?
The AzamPay and Selcom pages are open from outside too. The M-Pesa, Mixx and Airtel Money wallets expect a Tanzanian number, which the address does not replace.
Do Tanzanian addresses cost more?
No. The price is the same everywhere: residential from $1.00 per GB.
