Moscow proxies, made simple
Moscow is Russia's capital. Many people there search with Yandex rather than Google, so local results look different, and prices come in roubles.

Browsing as a Moscow local: city news, theatre listings and the rules that still apply
Russian sites often ask which city you're in, and many guess before you answer by reading your IP address, the number that shows roughly where you are online. Through a Moscow proxy, your requests leave from a server in the city, so you see what someone in Moscow sees: city news first, Afisha listings and results tuned to the capital. Before you start, check whether sanctions where you live restrict dealings, even small ones, with Russian sites.
City news and announcements
Mos.ru, the official city portal, and the city's own TV news channel publish Moscow news, road closures and weather warnings. With a Moscow IP, a search for a road closure or a local event is more likely to land on these city pages than on national news.
What's on
Afisha lists theatre, cinema and concerts, from big stages to small clubs. With a Moscow IP, its listings and search results tend to open on Moscow, which saves changing the city by hand before you browse.
Match the site's city picker
Set Moscow as the proxy city and enter the details in your browser. Many Russian sites also have a city picker of their own; if one suggests another city, switch it to Moscow so the listings match your IP.
Limits
A Moscow IP won't give you a Russian phone number, which many Russian sites and apps require when you register, and it won't change what sanctions or a site's terms allow. It only changes the location websites see.

Good to know first
- Types. Residential and mobile IPs come from home broadband and phone networks; datacenter IPs come from servers. Residential, explained →
- Connections. Every type works over HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. What those are →
- Sessions. A sticky session keeps one IP for a while, which suits logins. A rotating one changes it on every request, which suits long lists of public pages. Which do I need? → Static proxies →
- Limits. Only your IP changes, not your language settings, your clock or who you are when signed in.
- The rules. Stay within the law that applies to you and each site's terms of service. Acceptable use policy →
