Residential proxies by country, targeted down to the city

Why do you need proxies by country?

Proxies by country show you the prices, search results, ads and content that visitors in that country see. Many sites change language, currency and product range based on the connecting country.

• Local prices: compare e-commerce prices, discounts and shipping terms by country.
• Search results: check search rankings per country for accurate SEO rank tracking.
• Ad verification: confirm that ads aimed at a country actually appear there.
• Content: use pages and app screens that change by region for market research.
• Public data: collect regional data from public web pages for analysis or AI training data.

Residential IPs are IPs that ISPs give to households, so they look like ordinary visitors in that country. Use them for public web data and lawful purposes, and respect the target site terms and local law. Product details are on the residential proxy page.

How does geo-targeted proxy country selection work?

To target a country, add country-code to the proxy username. The code is 2 lowercase letters, such as country-us for the United States, country-jp for Japan and country-de for Germany.

user-country-us
user-country-jp
user-country-de
user-country-kr
user-country-br

curl -x http://gate.proxyour.com:7000 -U "user-country-jp:YOUR_TOKEN" https://ipinfo.io/json

The gateway is the same gate.proxyour.com:7000 for every country, and only the username changes. That means changing one line of code switches you to another country right away.

Repeating the same job with only the country code changed makes it easy to compare prices and search results across countries in one table. Billing follows the same basis in every country, so a wider comparison stays easy to budget.

When you pick a country in the dashboard connection builder, the username is written for you. Tool by tool examples are in the proxy setup guide.

How do I target a proxy by city?

To target a city, add city-name after the country code, with 175 cities to choose from. Write the city name by the rules below for an exact match.

• Use lowercase only. Example: city-new_york
• Replace spaces with underscores. New York becomes new_york.
• Remove accents and use plain letters. São Paulo is city-sao_paulo.
• Use the city together with its country code. Example: user-country-br-city-sao_paulo

user-country-us-city-new_york
user-country-br-city-sao_paulo

curl -x http://gate.proxyour.com:7000 -U "user-country-br-city-sao_paulo:YOUR_TOKEN" https://ipinfo.io/json

A city gives you a narrower view, such as local store prices, local search results and city level ads. Check the city list on each country page and copy the spelling as is to avoid mistakes.

How do I pick the right proxy country and city for a job?

Pick the proxy country by where the people you want to check live, and set a city only when results change from city to city. A wider range gives more available IPs and a steadier connection.

1. 1Price monitoring: pick the country where the product is sold, and add a city if prices change by shipping address or store.
2. 2SEO rank tracking: pick the target market country, and a main city when local search matters.
3. 3Ad verification: pick the same country and city the ad was aimed at and check that it appears.
4. 4Social media accounts: keep using the country where the account was created, and use a static residential IP when you need one address for a month.
5. 5Market research and public data collection: set only the country and leave the city empty to spread requests across a wide range of IPs.
6. 6High volume: for sites with light blocking, pick a country with datacenter IPs to lower cost.

Starting with the country only and adding a city when needed is the efficient order. The price stays from $0.80 per GB in every location, so check proxy pricing to set your budget.

What is the difference between a random city, a fixed city and a sticky session?

Leave the city empty and you connect through IPs in various cities in that country, and add a city to connect only through IPs in that city. Add a session name and the same IP is kept for up to 120 minutes.

# random city inside the country, new IP on each request
user-country-us

# fixed city, new IP on each request
user-country-us-city-new_york

# fixed city, same IP for up to 120 minutes
user-country-us-city-new_york-session-shop1

Changing the session name gives you a new IP in the same city, so naming sessions per task, such as shop1 and shop2, keeps things organized. If you need the same address for a month, choose a static residential proxy.
