Paraguay proxies
Our catalogue lists 17 departments, 53 cities and 24 networks for Paraguay. The network count is especially misleading here: Tigo Paraguay sits in 44 cities out of 53, that is 83 percent, and in 36 of them it is the only one at all. Everything else is Claro in four cities, Copaco in three and two dozen networks with one city each. What did turn out to be telling is the list of cities without Tigo, and that comes below.

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 AsunciónTen networks: the only city with a noticeable choice
- 02Residential plus Ciudad del EsteSix networks and a quite different market from the capital
- 03Residential country wide with no cityIn 43 cities out of 53 there is one network anyway, and it is almost always Tigo
Connection strings for Paraguay
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 Paraguay that matters more than pinning a carrier, because the carrier is nearly always the same one.

Let us say it plainly: there is almost no choice of carrier in Paraguay. Tigo Paraguay covers 83 percent of the cities in our pool and is the only network available in 36 of them. Claro appears in four cities, the state carrier Copaco in three, Personal in two.
By concentration that is third place in our catalogue, after Algeria at a hundred percent and Egypt at ninety one. If the job needs rotation across autonomous systems, Paraguay barely serves it: there is spread in Asunción and partly in Ciudad del Este, and none beyond.
Twenty networks of the twenty four appear in exactly one city. On top of that the same company shows up twice under different spellings, Copaco and Tempus, and we count such entries as one.
The cities without Tigo are colony towns
What is more interesting than where Tigo is present is where it is absent. There are nine such cities, and the list is not random: Filadelfia, Loma Plata, Katueté, Santa Rita, Obligado, Nueva Esperanza, Capitán Miranda, Guajayvi and Pilar.
These are towns of the Chaco and the eastern border strip, that is, colony districts. In Filadelfia the only network in our pool belongs to the Fernheim cooperative, the Mennonite colony whose centre this town is. In Loma Plata it is Chaco Comunicaciones. The eastern Katueté, Santa Rita and Obligado sit in the belt of farming colonies along the Brazilian border.
The practical meaning is direct: if you need a Paraguayan address that is not on the capital network, these towns are where to look. They are also the only way to get an autonomous system other than Tigo outside Asunción.
Ciudad del Este is a separate market
The second deepest city of the country in our pool is not a suburb of Asunción but Ciudad del Este with six networks. It sits on the triple border with Brazil and Argentina and lives on cross border trade, electronics above all.
For pricing work that means a snapshot of Asunción and a snapshot of Ciudad del Este describe different markets. Assortment, prices and availability in the border city are set by demand from the neighbours rather than by domestic consumption.
Tellingly, the only site that closed against us with a Cloudflare challenge is Nissei, a large electronics retailer from Ciudad del Este itself. The protection sits exactly where the most valuable data for collection lives.
There is an Argentine network in the pool
A separate detail worth knowing in advance. In Asunción and San Lorenzo our pool holds Claro Argentina, that is, an Argentine network inside Paraguay.
That happens in border countries where an operator runs cross border infrastructure, but for a job it is a risk: an address on such a network may be attributed ambiguously by geolocation databases, and the target will see an Argentine visitor rather than a Paraguayan one.
If Paraguayan attribution matters to you, pin Tigo, Copaco or Personal rather than relying on a random pick in the capital. And check the country on the exit rather than trusting our suffix alone.
Seventeen sites out of twenty open
We checked twenty well known Paraguayan domains from Europe with a full browser header set. Seventeen opened: InfoNegocios, the ABC Color, Última Hora and La Nación outlets, the Superseis and Stock supermarkets, the Itaú, Sudameris and Bancop banks, the paraguay.gov.py portal, the SET tax authority, the MITIC ministry, the CONATEL regulator, the Personal, Claro and Copaco carriers, and the ANDE power company.
Three closed. Nissei serves a Cloudflare challenge, the Tigo Paraguay site answers 403, and Clasipar fails on a certificate error.
Note the recurring observation: this is the fifth country in a row where the largest carrier site is closed to us. Before it came Tunisie Telecom, PTCL, Algerie Telecom and Liberty PR. There is no general barrier though, and a Paraguayan address is for cross border trade, advertising and accounts rather than for access.
What else to account for
The currency is the guaraní and the nominal figures are very large: a dollar buys thousands. A basket in dollars gives away a foreigner as surely as it does in Vietnam.
There are two official languages, Spanish and Guaraní, and Guaraní is genuinely widely spoken in the country. The web, however, is Spanish speaking, so build keyword lists in Spanish and keep Guaraní in mind for media and government material.
There is one time zone and the clocks change.
How stable the exits are here
In Asunción and Ciudad del Este connections hold acceptably. Across the rest of the country 43 cities out of 53 hold one network, and there is nothing to swap to inside the city.
On size, plainly: 24 networks by name, but one that works nationally. Under load you will keep returning to Tigo addresses, and that has to be built into your rate.
Choosing the setup for a Paraguayan target
The short fork.
- You need cross border trade and electronics: residential plus Ciudad del Este.
- You need rotation across autonomous systems: residential plus Asunción, and beyond it there simply is none.
- You need a network other than Tigo outside the capital: look at the colony towns of the Chaco and the eastern border.
- Paraguayan attribution matters: do not rely on a random network in the capital, an Argentine one appears there.
- You need volume: Paraguay is narrow for that, essentially one carrier works.
What a month of Paraguayan 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 electronics in Ciudad del Este: tens of gigabytes.
- Account work through a browser: a few hundred megabytes per account per day.
The legal part, stated plainly
Collecting publicly posted prices and processing personal data are different things, and the second is regulated separately.
Communications are regulated by CONATEL. We met no restrictions on foreign access to public sites in our measurement.
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 Paraguayan exit
Confirm the exit is Paraguayan, that the network is the one you asked for, and that the geolocation database does not return Argentina.

Where the numbers come from
The numbers on departments, cities and networks come from our residential pool catalogue as of 9 September 2026. Service entries with no city name are not counted. We ran the check on twenty Paraguayan domains ourselves from Europe on the same day, with a full browser header set.
- CONATEL, the Paraguayan telecoms regulatorOfficial operator data, if you want to check the shape of the market against our pool.
- CopacoThe state carrier: three cities in our pool, which is telling in itself.
- Personal ParaguayOne of the few alternatives to Tigo in our pool.
- ABC ColorThe largest newspaper in the country, open from outside without an address.
Questions people ask before buying Paraguayan addresses
Is it true that Paraguay has almost one carrier?
Practically yes. Tigo Paraguay sits in 44 cities out of 53 and is the only one in 36 of them. Claro appears in four cities, Copaco in three, Personal in two. By concentration that is third place in our catalogue after Algeria and Egypt.
Where do I get a network other than Tigo?
In Asunción, which holds ten networks, and in the nine cities where Tigo is simply absent. Those are Filadelfia, Loma Plata, Katueté, Santa Rita, Obligado, Nueva Esperanza, Capitán Miranda, Guajayvi and Pilar, the colony towns of the Chaco and the eastern border. In Filadelfia, for instance, the network belongs to the Mennonite Fernheim cooperative.
How does Ciudad del Este differ from Asunción?
It is a different market. The city sits on the triple border and lives on cross border trade, electronics above all, so prices and assortment there are set by demand from the neighbours. By pool depth it is second in the country with six networks. Tellingly, the only site that closed against us with a Cloudflare challenge is an electronics retailer from there.
Why is there an Argentine network in the Paraguayan pool?
Claro Argentina appears in Asunción and San Lorenzo: that happens when an operator runs cross border infrastructure. For a job it is a risk of ambiguous geolocation, so if a Paraguayan trail matters, pin Tigo, Copaco or Personal and check the country on the exit.
