Why an Australian IP
A short list of big domestic sites
Australian shoppers concentrate on a few local storefronts. In Similarweb’s September 2026 ranking of Australian shopping sites, amazon.com.au came first and the deal community OzBargain second, ahead of eBay, Kmart and Big W. Woolworths, Coles and Aldi lead groceries; realestate.com.au and Domain lead property.
Those sites serve Australian catalogues, specials and delivery choices to Australian visitors. A price monitor running on a server in Frankfurt sees a different session from a shopper in Parramatta, so the request has to leave from an Australian connection, ideally a household one.
Google holds 87.9% of Australian searches and Bing 9.17% (StatCounter, September 2026), so an Australian rank report without Bing misses almost a tenth of the market. Mobile and desktop page views are level, at 48.57% and 48.48%.
Coverage
Capital cities, states and their clocks
About two thirds of Australians live in the eight capital-city areas, and from October to April the country keeps five clocks. Our 40-exit sample followed the population.
| Capital | State or territory | Population, 30 June 2025 | Clock, Oct–Apr | Exits in our sample |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sydney | New South Wales | 5,638,830 | UTC+11 | 14 |
| Melbourne | Victoria | 5,435,590 | UTC+11 | 14 |
| Brisbane | Queensland | 2,833,524 | UTC+10, no daylight saving | 5 |
| Perth | Western Australia | 2,452,765 | UTC+8, no daylight saving | 4 |
| Adelaide | South Australia | 1,491,015 | UTC+10:30 | 2 |
| Canberra | Australian Capital Territory | 484,630 | UTC+11 | 0 |
| Hobart | Tasmania | 255,250 | UTC+11 | 1 |
| Darwin | Northern Territory | 159,284 | UTC+9:30, no daylight saving | 0 |
Population: ABS Greater Capital City areas, 30 June 2025. Daylight saving runs from 4 October 2026 to 4 April 2027 in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT.

Networks
The networks behind Australian homes and phones
Telstra, Optus and TPG Telecom together reach about two thirds of Australian internet users in APNIC Labs’ estimate, and they sit at opposite ends of the IPv6 scale.
| Network | Access | ASN | Share of Australian users | IPv6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telstra | NBN and mobile | AS1221 | 41.3% | 83.0% |
| Optus | NBN and mobile | AS4804 | 17.3% | 2.0% |
| TPG Telecom | NBN broadband | AS7545 | 14.3% | 12.8% |
| Aussie Broadband | NBN broadband | AS4764 | 7.6% | 30.6% |
| Vodafone (TPG Telecom) | Mobile | AS133612 | 4.8% | 84.6% |
| Vocus | NBN broadband | AS9443 | 4.3% | 59.7% |
| Starlink | Satellite | AS14593 | 3.7% | 82.7% |
| Superloop | NBN broadband | AS38195 | 3.1% | 41.1% |
| Belong (Telstra) | NBN broadband | AS135887 | 2% | 2.0% |
| Spintel | NBN broadband | AS18390 | 0.5% | 21.4% |
Optus’s AS4804 is still registered as Microplex PTY LTD. Of the 40 exits placed in Australia in our 26 October 2026 sample: TPG 9, Telstra 8, Optus 7, Vocus 6, Aussie Broadband 4, Superloop 2, four other home networks one each. Source: APNIC Labs, October 2026.

For developers
Ask for a state and a city, then confirm the exit
Keys are lowercase letters and digits: -st-newsouthwales, -city-goldcoast. Regions are the six states and the ACT; cities are Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast and Canberra. Other names get a 407. There are no network keys here: ISP and carrier targeting exists only for the US, UK and Germany.

GATE = "gate.aeonproxy.com:7000"

def au_exit(state, city, tries=5):

return None, None
proxy, geo = au_exit("queensland", "brisbane")
print(geo["ip"], geo["city"], geo["region"], geo["org"], geo["timezone"])The check strips spaces from ipinfo.io’s names, so "Gold Coast" matches goldcoast. On 26 October 2026 the only miss in 48 targeted requests was a Brisbane exit placed in Logan City, which is what the retry is for. The timezone field tells you which of the five summer clocks your job is on.

How NBN homes and businesses connect
Active premises on the National Broadband Network by technology at 30 June 2026: 8,650,771 in all.
NBN Co premises report and FY26 results. NBN satellite premises fell from 65,348 in April to 58,821 in September 2026, while Starlink, outside the NBN, carries 3.7% of Australian users in APNIC’s data.
An Australian quirk
One country, two IPv6 worlds
APNIC measured Australia at 47.9% IPv6-capable on 25 October 2026, and the national figure hides a sharp divide. Telstra (83.0%), Vodafone (84.6%) and Starlink (82.7%) users mostly have IPv6. Optus and Belong users almost never do, at 2.0% each, and TPG’s fixed network sits at 12.8%.
If a target answers IPv4 and IPv6 visitors differently, the network under your exit picks the answer. An Optus exit will almost always reach the site over IPv4; a Telstra exit may arrive over IPv6 when the site supports it. Of the 12 mobile exits placed in Australia in our sample, 7 were on Telstra, 4 on Optus and 1 on Vodafone, and Telstra and Optus carry phones and home lines on the same ASNs, so the ASN does not say which kind of line you have.
Under-16s
The social media minimum age, in four dates
Age-restricted social media platforms must keep Australians under 16 off their services. Proxies must not be used to get around those age checks, and we do not support that use.
The Act is passed
The Social Media Minimum Age Act receives Royal Assent: age-restricted users are Australians under 16, and government ID may not be the only way to prove age.
Start date fixed
The Minister for Communications sets 10 December 2025 as the day the obligation takes effect.
In force
Platforms must take reasonable steps to prevent under-16s having accounts, with civil penalties of up to 30,000 penalty units.
Penalties doubled
A second Act lifts the maximum to 60,000 penalty units and lets the eSafety Commissioner examine people under oath about compliance.
If you operate an age-restricted service, an Australian residential exit lets you test your own age-assurance flow as Australian users meet it. Source: legislation.gov.au.
Privacy law for Australian data projects
The Privacy Act 1988, overseen by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), governs personal information. Amendments passed in 2024 added a statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy, doxxing offences and a Children’s Online Privacy Code; from 10 December 2026 privacy policies must explain automated decisions.
Being visible online does not take information outside the Act. In 2023 the OAIC and eleven other regulators said publicly accessible personal information is still covered by privacy law and that mass scraping can be a reportable data breach; in 2021 it ordered Clearview AI to destroy facial images scraped from Australians’ social media. Build on prices, stock, listings and rankings; names, faces and contacts need a lawful basis.

Australia proxy questions
It sends your requests out through an Australian IP address, so sites answer as they would answer someone in Australia. You need one when that answer differs from what your server gets: specials on Woolworths, Australian Google and Bing results, or your own site as Australian customers load it.
194K+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026. They are household connections that come and go, so the number moves daily. We publish no Australian mobile count; our 26 October 2026 mobile sample came from Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.
Yes, where available: -st-newsouthwales, -st-victoria, -st-queensland, -st-westernaustralia, -st-southaustralia, -st-tasmania or -st-australiancapitalterritory, and -city-sydney, -city-melbourne, -city-brisbane, -city-perth, -city-adelaide, -city-goldcoast or -city-canberra. On 26 October 2026, ipinfo.io placed 24 of 24 state requests and 23 of 24 city requests where asked. There is no postcode targeting.
From Australian broadband and mobile networks; the networks table above has our 40-exit sample. You cannot choose the network here, because ISP and carrier keys exist only for the US, UK and Germany, so read each exit’s ASN instead.
Rotating residential for prices and listings over many pages. Mobile, at $0.50 more per GB at every tier, for app and mobile-web checks on Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. A static ISP IP for your own long-lived accounts within platform rules; the order page shows Australian availability.
The law looks at what you collect and how you use it. The Privacy Act 1988 covers personal information even when it is public, and proxies must not be used to get around the age checks of the social media minimum age law. Public, non-personal data such as prices and listings, within each site’s terms, is the safe ground. Not legal advice.
A free proxy is run by someone you know nothing about, and whatever passes through it can be logged or altered. Check the ASN too: hosting networks such as Vultr, Amazon and DigitalOcean carry under 2% of Australian users in APNIC’s October 2026 estimate, so an "Australian" proxy on one of them is a server.
Use host gate.aeonproxy.com, port 7000 and your login with -cc-au added, for example ap_a1b2c3-cc-au, in a browser extension or in the code examples above. A free trial exists; the pricing page shows its current terms.
AS4804, which carries Optus’s consumer traffic, is still registered as Microplex PTY LTD. Its address blocks are labelled Optus Internet and it connects only through Optus’s own AS7474, so treat Microplex as Optus.
No. Proxies must not be used to get around the age checks platforms run under the minimum age law. If you operate such a service, Australian exits are for testing your own age-assurance flow.
Distance sets it. The exits in the panel above measured 298 to 460 ms round trip between the exit and Frankfurt, where our gateway runs, on 26 October 2026; a public backbone measurement gave 256.5 ms from Sydney to London. Allow for a few hundred milliseconds per request.
