https://ipinfo.io/jsonAlou prints a Samsung Galaxy A26 at 36.999$00 and calls at 0$45 a second. The sign sits where a decimal mark would, and the point marks thousands, so those are 36,999 escudos and 0.45 of an escudo. Banco de Cabo Verde’s table for 5 November 2026 has the US dollar at 97.764 to buy and 97.966 to sell, which means a parser that reads the sign as dollars is out by a factor of about 98.
Other sites write the same currency differently. Nha Kretxeu has 2 150,00 CVE. Cabo Verde Airlines has 10,693.00, and its menu offers both “$ CVE” and “$ USD”. Imobiliaria.cv lists a commercial space on Maio at 50 000 cVE.
The central bank’s euro line reads 110.265 for buying and for selling, which puts the Galaxy at about 336 euros. Store the raw price, the currency and the seller’s country together before you compare a local shop with a Portuguese one.
Law 133/V/2001, amended by Law 41/VIII/2013 and Law 121/IX/2021, governs personal data, and the Comissão Nacional de Protecção de Dados (CNPD) enforces it. DLA Piper’s summary says processing needs prior registration with the CNPD or its authorisation, and that misuse can bring up to two years in prison or a fine of up to 240 days. A name or phone number in an ad is personal data, so keep prices and places and drop those fields.
Article 6 of the cybercrime law, Law 8/IX/2017 (Boletim Oficial I Série No. 13, 20 March 2017), punishes intentional access to a computer system without legal permission or the owner’s authorisation with up to one year in prison or a fine of up to 120 days. A breach of security rules raises that to three years or a fine; learning trade secrets or protected confidential data, or a considerably high gain, to one to five years. Article 2’s definitions have no term for a proxy or a VPN, and neither word appears in the Portuguese text. The regulator’s site would not open, so we have not read the electronic communications rules. Betting and gambling sites are not supported.

An IP address on a line in the islands, so sites answer you as they would a local visitor. Use one to see escudo prices at Alou and Nha Kretxeu or fares out of Praia, and to run Google for the country.
Yes. They are two names for one country and one login key, -cc-cv. APNIC, StatCounter and Ahrefs print Cape Verde, while Lusa and the central bank print Cabo Verde.
There are 5K+ residential IPs in the pool, October 2026, and the number moves as homes connect and drop off. Mobile lines have no count of their own; see the order page.
A login here picks the country and nothing finer. The dashboard generator lists the islands and towns on offer, where available. Check the exit in our IP checker and keep its region with the town, because Ribeira Grande, Tarrafal and Santa Catarina each name places on two islands.
Two operators serve phones: CVTelecom, sold as Alou, with 68% of active SIMs, and Unitel T+ with 32% (ARME’s figures for the end of March 2026, through Lusa). Mobile exits use them where the pool has them, and the order page shows availability. Household lines sit on the same two networks, and a login cannot choose between them, since network keys are a US, UK and German option.
For Cabo Verde you pick residential or mobile; the order page lists the countries with static IPs. Residential costs less and suits listings, shops and search. Mobile, $0.50 dearer per GB, suits pages built for phones, which made 43.76% of Cape Verdean page views in October 2026.
Residential traffic is $3.49 per GB on the smallest order and $1.69 on the largest; mobile runs from $3.99 to $2.19. The pricing page has every tier and the free trial’s current terms.
Alou uses the sign as a decimal mark for the escudo, so 36.999$00 is 36,999 escudos, about 336 euros at the central bank’s rate. Parse the number first, as the Python tab does, then convert.
The cybercrime law has no rule on proxies or VPNs, and DLA Piper’s data law summary mentions none. We could not read the telecom rules, as the regulator’s site would not open. Article 6 of Law 8/IX/2017 covers access without permission, and the data law covers personal details. Not legal advice.
Whoever runs one can read or change what passes through it, passwords included. Look up the address before you use it: AS37517 or AS37575 with country CV means a local line, and a hosting firm’s name beside it means a rented server.
Enter host gate.aeonproxy.com, port 7000, username ap_a1b2c3-cc-cv and your password in a browser extension, app or HTTP client. A username ending in -sid-cv01-time-3600 keeps one exit for an hour. The docs cover SOCKS5.
