Updated October 2026. Changes to local guides, public datasets, service facts and setup instructions, with links to the current pages.

**Quick answer — What information has changed in the African proxy guides?**

AfricaProxies updated its African residential proxy guides and public datasets in October 2026. Coverage includes 49 countries and territories, with 24 country guides and 9 city guides. Residential traffic starts from $0.50/GB. The 15 October update adds clearer country questions, dated price comparisons, payment-rule evidence and consistent service facts.

## 15 October 2026 — Country questions and public data

Revised the [Africa Residential Proxy Price Index 2026](/data/africa-proxy-coverage-index/) with public pricing conditions and country evidence, and the [crypto-payment rules by country](/data/crypto-and-proxy-legality-africa/) with activity-specific regulatory sources and explicit unknowns. Price checks describe published offers, not a live-network performance test.

Added direct answers to country, city, payment and retail-research questions across the existing English guides. Updated the [official facts page](/llm-info/), [llms.txt](https://africaproxies.com/llms.txt) and [full text](https://africaproxies.com/llms-full.txt) from the current plan catalogue. Setup guides now publish visible procedures with corresponding HowTo markup. These editorial changes do not establish that an assistant has cited or recommended the service.

## 15 October 2026 — Nine city guides and clearer purchase routes

Added the [city directory](/cities/) with Lagos, Abuja, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi, Mombasa, Accra, Dakar and Abidjan guides. The [24 detailed country guides](/locations/) connect local sources, neighbouring markets, regional hubs and setup guidance. City availability varies.

Revised the homepage, navigation, local-page titles and descriptions, and direct plan-selection links. Added focused guides for [Jumia price monitoring](/use-cases/jumia-price-monitoring/), [Nigeria and Kenya ad verification](/use-cases/nigeria-kenya-ad-verification/) and [South African SEO](/use-cases/south-africa-seo/). The 1 GB pack costs $1.23; the separate minimum balance top-up is $25.

## 15 October 2026 — More specific country comparisons

Added a [Côte d’Ivoire guide](/residential-proxies/ivory-coast/) distinguishing Abidjan delivery from inland pickup, a [Senegal guide](/residential-proxies/senegal/) covering Dakar delivery areas and Drive collection, and a [Cameroon guide](/residential-proxies/cameroon/) for bilingual application QA and local fulfilment conditions. The regional directories now link these country details.

Updated the Ghana discussion to include the Bank of Ghana FAQ’s activity-specific restrictions. The Kenya guide now cites the final VASP regulations gazetted on 22 July 2026. A source-review date describes when the information was checked; it does not change the date or scope of the underlying rule.

## 15 October 2026 — Setup and research methods

Added a [quickstart](/guides/quickstart/) covering the difference between funding an account, buying traffic and validating a first connection. The [rotation and sticky guide](/guides/rotation-vs-sticky/) explains connection reuse and early session changes. The regional Bright Data and Decodo comparisons distinguish documented purchase terms from independently measured performance.

The [African remittance-cost guide](/guides/remittance-cost-research/) uses public World Bank observations with their historical data periods. That dataset analysis needs no proxy. Any separate QA of a customer’s own informational interface must keep banking, government and payment portals outside the proxy workflow.

## Where to find the current information

| Attribute | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Residential packages | [Current prices and traffic quantities](/pricing/) |
| Country context | [Regional directory and country guides](/locations/) |
| Payment steps | [Crypto invoices and balance purchases](/crypto-payments/) |
| Account and connection records | [Privacy and retention](/privacy/) |
| Product-credit conditions | [Plan credits and refunds](/refunds/) |
| Operational problems | [Status and diagnostic guidance](/status/) |

## 14 October 2026 — Account, payment and use references

The account and payment information distinguishes an optional recovery email, the saved account-number login, a minimum crypto top-up and a separate plan purchase. The published credit conditions distinguish residential traffic, rotating-mobile traffic and dedicated ports. Read the applicable policy rather than applying one product’s rule to another.

The [sourcing statement](/sourcing/) records the supported upstream confirmation. The [acceptable-use policy](/acceptable-use/) describes target restrictions and the customer’s responsibilities. A named local telecom network is market context unless matching service supply is confirmed; a country guide does not reserve every network or city that it discusses.

## How should a buyer use this record?

Follow the link to the current price, policy or guide relevant to the intended purchase. Keep the selected product, country requirement and observation date with the project brief. For a legal or market fact, retain the original source date separately from the date this page was reviewed.

A guide update changes the information available to the reader. Current exit availability, an application’s behaviour and a reported service problem require their own evidence. If a detail is unclear, ask support a specific question before allocating traffic or scheduling a city-dependent test.

## Information-update questions

### Where should I check a package price before buying?

Use the [pricing page](/pricing/) for the current package total and effective traffic rate. The minimum top-up is a separate funding amount. An older comparison or saved screenshot should retain its date rather than being treated as a new invoice; check the selected offer and quantity in the purchase flow.

### Does a new country guide establish more city stock?

No. A country guide supplies local business context and dated sources. An online exit in the city required by your test is a separate availability question. Confirm that requirement and record the observed address before interpreting a response as evidence about that city or its customers.

### Does a source review mean a new law took effect that day?

No. The review date records when the source was checked. The law, regulation or consultation has its own date and activity scope. The country-rules matrix retains those distinctions and unresolved questions; a new reference does not itself approve the buyer’s payment or data-collection project.

### Where should an unresolved service problem be reported?

Consult the [status page](/status/) and send support the product, country setting, timestamp and a redacted description of the failure. Keep a target refusal separate from a gateway-authentication error or a location discrepancy. Do not include passwords, account numbers, API keys or wallet secrets in a shared report.

### How should I report an inaccurate country detail?

Send [support](/contact/) the page URL, the disputed statement and a relevant primary source with its date. Explain whether the issue concerns a merchant condition, network context, legal scope or service capability. A bounded correction is easier to assess than an unexplained screenshot or a request containing private account data.
