Tunisia proxies
Our catalogue lists 23 governorates, 97 cities and 11 networks for Tunisia. Eleven is fewer than in any other country we have gone through, and this is the case where a small number means nothing bad. Seven cities give you nine or ten networks out of the eleven: Tunis, Ariana, Ben Arous and Sousse hold ten each, Nabeul, Manouba and Monastir nine. For comparison, Greece has twenty four networks and Athens gives you thirteen.

How campaigns render for a Tunisian audience
What looks different from outside Tunisia
There are two different barriers here at once: bot protection on commerce, and plain unreachability across part of the national infrastructure.
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
- 01Residential plus Tunis or SousseTen networks out of eleven: practically the whole market in one place
- 02Residential with Ooredoo or Orange pinnedWhen you want something outside the state group
- 03Residential across greater TunisThirty three cities of the ninety seven and ten networks of the eleven
Connection strings for Tunisia
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. In Tunisia it is needed less often than in large countries: almost the whole set of networks is already available across the capital metro area and in Sousse.
Tunisian exits, four ways
# rotating, a new address per request
curl -x login_c_TN:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org
# sticky, the same address for the session
curl -x login_c_TN_s_600:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org
# pinned to the capital, where ten of the eleven networks are
curl -x login_c_TN_city_tunis:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org
# SOCKS5 instead of HTTP
curl -x socks5://login_c_TN:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10001 https://api.ipify.orgEleven networks, and that is not few
A small number of networks usually means a poor choice. In Tunisia it does not. Seven cities give you nine or ten networks out of eleven, which means almost the whole market of the country is available to you in any of those places.
Compare that with what we have covered before. Peru lists 153 networks, yet rotation across autonomous systems can only be built in Lima. Greece has 24 networks, Athens gives thirteen, and 70 cities out of 99 hold exactly one. Tunisia has 11 networks and ten of them sit in the capital metro area.
What matters is not the size of the catalogue but how many networks are available in the place you actually work. By that count Tunisia beats half the countries with numbers several times larger.
The first and fourth networks are one company
The widest network in the country in our pool is Topnet with 64 cities. A few rows below sits Tunisie Telecom with 23. They are one group: Topnet is the ISP arm of the state carrier.
They cannot be added up. The sum would give 87 cities, the union gives 71. Twenty six cities are left without the state group.
The independents follow: Ooredoo in 41 cities, Orange in 30 under two entries rather than one, Globalnet in 21, Hexabyte in 15. If you want a network outside the state group, pin Ooredoo or Orange, the widest of the rest.
The whole country is the coast
Greater Tunis, meaning the Tunis, Ariana, Ben Arous and Manouba governorates, gives 33 cities out of 97 and ten networks out of eleven. Along the sea after it come Sousse, Monastir, Nabeul and Mahdia.
The interior governorates appear one at a time: Kasserine, Sidi Bouzid, Tozeur, Tataouine, Jendouba, Kef and Gabès contribute one or two cities each. That is not a gap in our pool but the economic map of the country: population, business and broadband are gathered on the coast.
The practical conclusion. If you need a Tunisian address at all, the country suffix is enough. If you need a specific trail, a real choice exists in seven coastal cities, while in the interior you get one network per city and no replacement.
Six sites of twenty are closed, and there are two different barriers
We checked twenty well known Tunisian domains from Europe with a full browser header set. Fourteen opened: Tayara, Automobile.tn, Tunisianet, Zoom, Keejob, Menzili, the BIAT, Attijari and STB banks, the tunisie.gov.tn portal, Business News, Mosaique FM, Ooredoo and Orange.
The first barrier is the familiar one: MyTek and Jumia answer through Cloudflare with a cf-mitigated header set to challenge. A residential address solves exactly this.
The second barrier is different, and more interesting. Four hosts do not answer at all, and not with a challenge page but at the connection level: the BNA bank site refuses the connection, the finance ministry has a certificate error, and the Topnet and Tunisie Telecom sites time out. Three of them live in the 193.95 address space, that is, at the national carrier itself. A residential address does not always fix things like that, because it is the state of the infrastructure rather than a defence, and we are not going to promise otherwise.
The irony is that Topnet is the widest network in our Tunisian pool while its own site does not open from Europe.
French for commerce, Arabic for the state
We counted characters on six live Tunisian pages. Commerce and work run in French: the Tayara classifieds board carries 2042 Latin characters against fifteen Arabic ones, the Tunisianet shop 9451 against zero, the Keejob jobs site 10250 against zero.
The state and radio run the other way: the tunisie.gov.tn portal carries 1630 Arabic characters against 33 Latin ones, and Mosaique FM marks its markup as Arabic with right to left direction.
The good news is that the lang attribute does not lie here: commercial sites carry fr, government ones ar. That sets Tunisia apart from Serbia, where Cyrillic and Latin sites are both labelled sr and the markup tells you nothing.
The conclusion for the job: build keyword lists and parsing rules for Tunisian commerce in French, and keep Arabic for government sources. The currency is the dinar, and a basket in euros or dollars gives away a foreigner.
How stable the exits are here
In the capital metro area and in Sousse connections hold well. Along the coast generally they are acceptable.
On size, plainly: eleven networks really is not many. Under heavy load you will come back to the same addresses quickly, even though nearly all of them are available at once. What Tunisia is good at is that the choice does not depend on the city, not that the pool is large.
Choosing the setup for a Tunisian target
The short fork.
- You just need a Tunisian address: residential with the country suffix, no city required.
- You need different autonomous systems: residential plus Tunis, Ariana, Ben Arous or Sousse.
- You want a network outside the state group: pin Ooredoo or Orange, but not Topnet.
- The target sits behind bot protection, MyTek for instance: any Tunisian residential exit will do.
- You are building keyword lists for commerce: build them in French.
What a month of Tunisian work costs
It is counted in traffic. A dollar per gigabyte.
- Price checks across a few hundred listings a day: single gigabytes a month.
- A daily sweep of Tayara listings: tens of gigabytes.
- Account work through a browser: a few hundred megabytes per account per day.
The legal part, stated plainly
Tunisia has a personal data protection law and a separate national authority that enforces it. That has little bearing on collecting publicly posted prices and a direct bearing on personal data.
A separate note on money: the Tunisian dinar is not freely convertible and the country operates exchange controls. That does not affect collecting prices, but it does mean converting dinars into euros for comparison with a European market needs care.
A proxy changes none of what you are allowed to do with data. It changes only which country the request appears to come from.
Verifying a Tunisian exit
Confirm the exit is Tunisian, that the session holds, and that a target with a bot check lets you in from a residential address while it does not from an ordinary one.

Where the numbers come from
The numbers on governorates, cities and networks come from our residential pool catalogue as of 8 September 2026. We ran the check on twenty Tunisian domains and the character counts by script ourselves from Europe on the same day, with a full browser header set: without one, some sites answer 403 simply because the request does not look like a browser.
- INTT, the Tunisian telecoms regulatorOfficial operator data, if you want to check the shape of the market against our pool.
- Ooredoo TunisiaThe second widest network in our Tunisian pool and the first one independent of the state group.
- TayaraThe main classifieds board in the country, and the place where you can see that Tunisian commerce writes in French.
Questions people ask before buying Tunisian addresses
Eleven networks is very few, surely?
By catalogue yes, by availability no. Seven cities give you nine or ten networks out of eleven, the capital and Sousse among them. For comparison, Greece has twenty four networks but Athens gives thirteen, and 70 cities out of 99 hold just one.
Which carrier should I pin?
Topnet is the widest at 64 cities, but it is the ISP arm of the state carrier: together with Tunisie Telecom the group covers 71 cities. If you want an independent network, take Ooredoo in 41 cities or Orange in 30.
Do Tunisian sites block foreigners?
Partly, and there are two different barriers. MyTek and Jumia serve a Cloudflare challenge, which a residential address solves. But the BNA bank, the finance ministry and the Topnet and Tunisie Telecom sites do not answer at the connection level, and that is infrastructure rather than defence.
Which language should I collect data in?
Tunisian commerce runs in French: Tayara carries 2042 Latin characters against fifteen Arabic ones, and Tunisianet and Keejob carry no Arabic at all. Government sites are the other way round. The lang attribute is honest here, fr for commerce and ar for the state, so you can rely on it.
