Windstream proxies
A Windstream proxy is a proxy whose exit address is registered to Windstream's network (AS7029). Windstream is a telecommunications operator in the United States, and its address space is what many teams mean when they ask for a "United States ISP proxy". Here is how that works, what we sell today and where the limits are.
ISP proxies are in stock for the United States right now, from US$3.00 per IP for 1 week. We sell them by country, so we cannot promise an address from Windstream in particular, and the page is honest about that below.

What is a Windstream proxy?
Every public IP address belongs to a network, and every network has an autonomous system number (ASN). When a website looks up your address it sees the ASN and the organisation behind it. For Windstream that is AS7029. A Windstream proxy is a proxy whose exit address belongs to that network, so the website sees a Windstream address and not a hosting company.
National telecommunications operators run both consumer broadband and business connectivity, so their address space mixes home subscribers, offices and sometimes hosting. The autonomous system number is a good first filter, but not a guarantee of how a single address is used.
Because incumbent operators are old and large, their address blocks are widely recognised by websites and databases. Traffic that appears to come from such a network is usually treated as ordinary consumer or business traffic.
In practice most buyers do not need one particular operator. They need an address that is registered in the right country and looks like consumer or carrier traffic. That is the reason ISP proxies exist: they sit on hardware in a datacenter but use addresses registered to an internet service provider. The distinction matters because some websites treat hosting ranges more strictly than consumer ranges.
Windstream ASN numbers
The table lists the main autonomous system numbers we associate with Windstream. Large operators announce several ASNs and acquire or reassign them over time, so use the list as a starting point and confirm with a public registry such as RIPEstat, ARIN or bgp.he.net before you depend on a number.
| ASN | Operator | Country | Network type |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS7029 | Windstream | United States | telecommunications operator |
Windstream and the United States proxy types in stock
United States traffic leaves through the United States, so the catalog below is the live the United States stock. Each row is a proxy type, the number of package and duration options we currently list for it, the lowest price per IP, and the range of rental periods you can choose. The prices come straight from our catalog and change when stock or supplier pricing changes.
The cheapest option for the United States is Datacenter Proxy IPv6 at US$0.10 per IP for 3 days. Longer periods are usually cheaper per day, and most types let you rent a single IP, so you can start with one address and add more later.
You can combine types in the same account. A team might rent Datacenter Proxy IPv4 addresses for fast public-data work and add Datacenter Proxy IPv6 where a destination treats ISP-registered or less crowded addresses better.
| Proxy type | Package options | From (per IP) | Rental periods |
|---|---|---|---|
| Datacenter Proxy IPv4 | 13 | US$0.70 | 1 week to 12 months |
| Datacenter Proxy IPv4 Shared | 5 | US$0.20 | 1 week to 3 months |
| Datacenter Proxy IPv6 | 14 | US$0.10 | 3 days to 12 months |
| ISP Proxy | 8 | US$3.00 | 1 week to 12 months |
| Mobile Proxy | 56 | US$40.00 | 1 week to 12 months |
Can I choose Windstream exactly?
For the United States the order form can narrow a request by state, city, ZIP, ISP and ASN where the pool supports it. If Windstream is available in the pool at the moment you order, you can ask for it. The pool changes, so availability for a specific operator is never guaranteed.
Confirm the result with the proxy tester and an ASN lookup before you start a large job. If a specific operator is essential for your project, contact us before you buy and describe the use case.
Why teams ask for Windstream addresses
Searches for Windstream proxies come from a handful of recurring needs. None of them require an address from one specific operator, but an address from a network like Windstream helps with all of them.
Matching real subscribers. A page that treats datacenter ranges differently from consumer or carrier ranges can only be checked fairly from an address that looks like a telecommunications operator subscriber in the United States.
Local verification. Ads, prices, search results and app listings are often different for visitors in the United States. A the United States address registered to a well-known operator shows what a local customer of Windstream sees.
Stable identity. ISP proxies keep the same address for the rental period. That is helpful for tests that need a consistent address over days, such as checking a login flow you own or following a long support case.
Fewer surprises. Addresses from large, long-established operators are widely recognised by websites and databases, so their country and network labels are rarely wrong.
How to check that an address belongs to Windstream
Do not trust a label, check the address. After you receive a proxy, run it through the proxy tester on the ProxyOnly home page to see the exit IP and country. Then look the IP up in two different lookup tools and read the organisation and ASN fields.
- Copy the exit IP reported by the proxy tester.
- Look it up in a public ASN or IP lookup tool and note the ASN and organisation.
- Compare the ASN with AS7029 for Windstream.
- Check a second lookup tool, because geolocation and organisation data are not identical across databases.
- Repeat with a second address if the first does not match what you need.
What a proxy for United States is used for
Nobody needs a United States exit for its own sake. They need it to do something: check a page, test a flow, compare a price. These are the most common jobs for the United States proxies.
Market research on public data. Researchers read public pages the way a local visitor would: listings, directories, public review pages and government or company sites that vary by country. Using a the United States exit shows the version of the page meant for United States. Collect only what you are allowed to collect, respect robots rules and rate limits, and keep your own notes in your own tools.
App store and content availability. App stores, software downloads and media catalogues differ by country. A the United States address lets you check whether an app is listed for United States, which price and currency the store shows, and whether a public download or landing page is available there. It is a read-only check: you still need to follow the terms of the service you are testing.
Brand and reputation monitoring. Brand teams watch how a name appears on public pages in United States: local news sites, regional marketplaces, comparison pages and review sites. A the United States exit makes sure the pages you review are the ones local visitors get, in English, Spanish, Hawaiian and French, rather than a version redirected for your own location.
Ad and landing page verification. Ads, offers and landing pages often change by country. With an exit in the United States a media buyer can see what a visitor in United States would see: the language (English, Spanish, Hawaiian and French), the price in Dollar (USD), the local promotions and the pages that are blocked or redirected for other countries. That is the quickest way to catch a broken geo-targeting rule before it burns budget.
Price and availability monitoring. Retailers, marketplaces and travel sites show different prices to different countries, and the difference is often visible only from a local address. Checking public prices from the United States lets you compare what shoppers in United States are charged in Dollar (USD), whether an item ships there, and how delivery promises differ from your home market.

A proxy is a networking tool and it is lawful in most places, but what you do with it still has to be lawful and fair. Follow the laws that apply to you and to the place you send traffic to, read the terms of the sites you visit, honour robots rules and rate limits, and never use an address to access accounts or data that are not yours. ProxyOnly cannot give legal advice, and our acceptable use policy applies to every order.
In practice that means reading public pages, checking your own sites and ads, and testing your own products. If a task would be unwelcome to the site owner when done by hand, it is unwelcome when done through a proxy too.

Frequently asked questions
What is the ASN of Windstream?
The main autonomous system number we associate with Windstream is AS7029. Large operators announce several ASNs and change them over time, so confirm with a public registry before you rely on one.
Do you sell Windstream proxies?
We sell United States proxies and the order form can narrow by ISP and ASN where the pool supports it, so Windstream may be available when you order. We cannot guarantee a specific operator.
What is the difference between an ISP proxy and a datacenter proxy?
A datacenter proxy uses an address registered to a hosting company. An ISP proxy runs on datacenter hardware but uses an address registered to an internet service provider, so it looks more like consumer traffic. ISP proxies cost more and suit sites that are strict about hosting ranges.
Can I buy a proxy in United States?
Yes, you can rent the United States proxies from ProxyOnly. We currently list 5 proxy types for the United States: Datacenter Proxy IPv4, Datacenter Proxy IPv4 Shared, Datacenter Proxy IPv6, ISP Proxy, Mobile Proxy.
How much does a United States proxy cost?
Prices for the United States start at US$0.10 per IP for 3 days. The final price depends on the type, the number of IPs and the rental period, and longer periods work out cheaper per day. The order page shows the exact total before you pay.
Which proxy type should I use for United States?
For most public-data work Datacenter Proxy IPv4 is the practical default. If the site you are testing is strict about hosting ranges, try ISP Proxy instead. Rent one address first and check your success rate before you scale up.
Can I choose a city in the United States?
For the United States you can narrow by state, city, ZIP, ISP and ASN in the order form where the pool supports it. Check the result with the proxy tester, because very small cities may not have addresses of every type.
How do I check that my proxy really shows the United States?
Use the proxy tester on the ProxyOnly home page: it connects through your proxy and reports the exit IP, the country and the latency. You can also open any public IP lookup page through the proxy and compare the country with US.
How do I pay and how fast is delivery?
You add funds to your balance in cryptocurrency, starting from one US dollar, and pay for each order from that balance. Orders are delivered to your dashboard with the host, port, username and password. Delivery time depends on the supplier for the type you choose.
