Peru proxies
Our catalogue lists 25 regions, 125 cities and 153 networks for Peru. Peru is the most capital centred country we have gone through: Lima holds 79 networks, more than half of all of them, and 48 of those are found nowhere else. Arequipa, the second city by pool, gets 23, Trujillo 16, Huancayo 15, Cusco 13. In 69 cities out of 125 there is exactly one network.

What looks different from outside Peru
These serve a challenge to a datacentre address instead of a page.
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 LimaSeventy nine networks, forty eight of them found only here
- 02Residential plus Arequipa or TrujilloWhen you want a trail from outside the capital with a real choice of networks
- 03Residential with Movistar or Claro pinnedWhen the target counts autonomous systems
Connection strings for Peru
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 Peru that is worth doing for about seven cities; past them the choice of networks runs out.
Peruvian exits, four ways
# rotating, a new address per request
curl -x login_c_PE:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org
# sticky, the same address for the session
curl -x login_c_PE_s_600:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org
# pinned to the capital, where the networks are
curl -x login_c_PE_city_lima:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org
# SOCKS5 instead of HTTP
curl -x socks5://login_c_PE:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10001 https://api.ipify.orgLima takes half the country
The capital holds 79 networks out of 153. Forty eight of them are found nowhere else, which means almost a third of the entire country pool exists only in Lima.
After it the gap is enormous: Arequipa 23 networks, Trujillo 16, Huancayo 15, Cusco 13, Chiclayo 12. In 69 cities out of 125 there is exactly one network.
In practice that means this. If the job needs rotation across autonomous systems, only Lima solves it. If you want a regional resident trail, you will get it, but with one network per city and no spare to switch to.
One hundred and fifty three networks is a count of names
The large carriers sit in the catalogue under several entries. Movistar appears as Movistar Peru, Fibra Movistar and Movistar. Claro as Claro Peru, Claro Fibra and Claro Fibra Coaxial. WOW as WOW Peru and WOW TEL SAC.
Their cities cannot be added up. For Movistar the sum gives 92 cities and the union 71. For Claro the sum is 62 and the union 40. For WOW the sum is 37 and the union 32. We count the union everywhere.
A separate note on Internexa in 19 cities: it is a wholesale operator selling capacity to providers rather than to subscribers. It will not pass for an ordinary home connection, the same as Ufinet in Ecuador.
In the regions the familiar carrier is no longer first
Movistar remains the widest by reach: 71 cities out of 125. But it is absent from 54, and that is not an edge case, it is half the country without it.
The home internet market in Peru has been reshuffled by new fibre operators. WOW entered in 2020 and, according to the regulator OSIPTEL, by 2025 led fibre in most regions. In our pool it already ranks third by reach, in 32 cities.
The conclusion for pinning a carrier is simple: do not assume a Peruvian home subscriber is Movistar by default. In the regions, pin what people actually have rather than what was familiar five years ago.
Seven sites out of twenty are closed to a datacentre address
We checked twenty well known Peruvian domains from Europe with a full browser header set. Seven answered with a 403, six of them carrying an explicit cf-mitigated header set to challenge.
The closed ones were the three largest retail chains, Falabella, Ripley and Tottus, the property site Urbania, the PedidosYa delivery service, and two of the four large banks: BCP and Interbank.
Everything governmental was open at the same time: SUNAT, RENIEC and the regulator OSIPTEL itself answer from outside without trouble. So do the media, Mercado Libre, Plaza Vea, Oechsle, and the BBVA and Scotiabank banks. So the barrier in Peru is not a country one but bot protection specifically, and it sits exactly on the commercial top layer.
What blocks you here beyond the address
The currency is the sol. A basket in dollars gives away a foreigner.
The language is Spanish, the es-PE variant. Quechua and Aymara are official, but the web is Spanish speaking.
The country runs on a single time zone and does not change its clocks.
How stable the exits are here
Connections in Lima hold well, and that is also where all the headroom in networks sits. Arequipa and Trujillo are acceptable.
Across the rest of the country, one network per city means that when a line drops there is nothing to replace it with inside the same city. Plan headroom for that and do not build long sessions in the regions.
Choosing the setup for a Peruvian target
The short fork.
- You need rotation across autonomous systems: residential plus Lima, there is no other option.
- You want a regional trail: residential plus Arequipa, Trujillo or Huancayo.
- The target sits behind bot protection: any Peruvian residential exit will do.
- You want the look of an ordinary subscriber: pin Movistar, Claro or WOW, but not Internexa.
- You need volume: count on the seven networks that clear the ten city mark rather than on a hundred and fifty three.
What a month of Peruvian 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 a large Falabella or Ripley category: tens of gigabytes.
- Account work through a browser: a few hundred megabytes per account per day.
The legal part, stated plainly
Peru has a personal data protection law and an authority that enforces it. It has little bearing on collecting publicly posted prices and a direct bearing on personal data.
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 Peruvian exit
Confirm the exit is Peruvian, that the session holds, and that a target behind bot protection lets you in from a residential address while it does not from an ordinary one.
Three checks
# 1. is the exit Peruvian, and on which carrier
curl -s -x login_c_PE: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_PE_s_600:password@proxy.sotaproxy.com:10000 https://api.ipify.org; echo; done
# 3. the same target with and without the proxy: compare the codes
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "direct: %{http_code}
" -L https://www.falabella.com.pe/
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "residential: %{http_code}

Where the numbers come from
The numbers on regions, cities and networks come from our residential pool catalogue as of 8 September 2026. Service entries with no city or region name are not counted. We checked the twenty Peruvian domains 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, which is easy to mistake for address based blocking.

Questions people ask before buying Peruvian addresses
You list 153 networks, how many are real?
That is a count of names. Movistar sits under three entries and gives 71 cities against a sum of 92, Claro under three and gives 40 against 62, WOW under two and gives 32 against 37. Seven networks clear the ten city mark, and 115 appear in exactly one city.
Do I have to take Lima?
If you need rotation across autonomous systems, yes: Lima holds 79 networks of 153 and 48 of them exist only there. For a regional trail take Arequipa, Trujillo or Huancayo, but remember that 69 cities out of 125 hold one network and there is nothing to swap to inside the city.
Which carrier should I pin?
Movistar is the widest at 71 cities, but it is absent from 54. New fibre operators are strong in the regions: WOW entered in 2020 and by OSIPTEL data leads fibre in most of them. Internexa is not worth pinning, it is a wholesale network rather than a home one.
Do Peruvian sites block foreigners?
No, the barrier is a different one. Of twenty domains we checked, seven answered a datacentre address with 403, six of them carrying a cf-mitigated challenge header: the three largest retail chains, two banks, property and delivery. Government sites, media and some banks are open. A residential address is what solves the bot protection.
