Residential lines that exit only from CenturyLink addresses, pinned by AS number on the Premium pool. Rotating or sticky, HTTP and SOCKS5, billed per gigabyte.
CenturyLink residential proxies
CenturyLink, now part of Lumen, serves homes over fibre and DSL across a large part of the United States.
On HProxy a Premium line takes an asn field. Every request through that line then exits from an address on the network you named, in the country you named. Rotate on every request or hold a sticky session; generating lines is free and only the bytes that pass through are billed.

If any United States address will do, Lite is the cheaper line. The rotating residential page compares the two pools.
Networks
Each row is a network the gateway can pin today. The last three columns are what our free proxy scanner holds on that network: public proxies answering now, addresses that answered at least once, and every address ever tested. Those are the public supply on CenturyLink; a paid line pins the same network without any of it.
| AS number | Network | Countries | Public proxies now | Answered before | Addresses tested |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS209 | CenturyLink Communications, LLC | United States | 0 | 2 | 64 |
| AS3561 | CenturyLink Communications, LLC | United States | 0 | 0 | 19 |
| AS393789 | CenturyLink Communications, LLC | United States | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Networks from the gateway's live catalogue; scanner counts from HProxy's free proxy scanner, both read when this page was rendered. Across these networks the scanner has tested 83 addresses, 2 answered at least once and 0 answer now.
How to use it
Rotating on CenturyLink
Name the country and the AS number. Every request through the line exits from a different CenturyLink address on that network.
POST /api/v1/plans/{id}/generate
{"country": "US", "asn": 209, "count": 10}Sticky on CenturyLink
Add stickyMinutes and the line holds one CenturyLink address for 3 to 1,440 minutes. Release it early and the next request draws a fresh one.
{"country": "US", "asn": 209,
"stickyMinutes": 30}SOCKS5 on CenturyLink
The same line answers HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on res.hproxy.com:8080. Generate with udp: true and a SOCKS5 line can open the UDP relay.
{"country": "US", "asn": 209,
"protocol": "socks5", "udp": true}Field names and limits from the plan documentation. A pin is a country and a network together; the gateway refuses a pin it cannot serve instead of substituting another network.
Why pin a network
Some targets key their rules on the network an address belongs to, not only on the country. Cloudflare's rate limiting rules, for one, can count by ASN on their Enterprise tier. A line pinned to CenturyLink looks like one consistent kind of visitor to a rule like that: a CenturyLink customer.
The other reason is testing. A page, an ad or a price shown to CenturyLink customers can be checked from a CenturyLink address, from the countries listed above, without asking anyone to run a browser for you.
A pin does not change what your client sends. Cookies, headers and the TLS handshake are still yours, and a target that keys on those needs a real browser profile behind the line.
Keep to public data and to the target's terms. The ISP targeting page lists every carrier we can pin.

FAQ
Answered from the gateway's own catalogue and the plan documentation.
Ask supportYes. A line generated with the asn field exits only from addresses the network announces under that AS number. The gateway lists AS209, AS3561, AS393789 for CenturyLink, and a pin to any of them is refused rather than substituted when nothing is free on it at that moment.
AS209, AS3561, AS393789. The list on this page is read from the gateway's own catalogue at render time, so it is what the generator accepts today, not a copy of a registry.
Yes. Add stickyMinutes to the same call, from 3 to 1,440 minutes, and the line keeps its exit for that long. Leave it out and every request exits from a different CenturyLink address.
United States. A pinned line is always a country and a network together, so the call names both.
Pinning a network costs nothing extra. You pay the Premium pool's price per gigabyte for the bytes that pass through the line, from a balance that never expires. Generating lines is free and repeatable.
The words this page turns on.
Residential proxy
A proxy that routes your traffic through an IP address assigned by an internet service provider to a home connection, so requests look like an ordinary person browsing.
Residential IP
A public IP address that an internet provider assigned to a home connection, which address databases therefore label residential rather than hosting.
IP rotation
The practice of cycling through many IP addresses across a workload so no single one accumulates a suspicious request count.
Sticky session
A rotating-proxy feature that keeps you on the same exit IP for a set duration so a multi-step task can complete without the address changing underneath it.
