Can I choose the country on residential?

Updated 1 min read

Residential is coming soon and cannot be ordered yet. ISP and datacenter proxies are on sale now, and both let you choose the location.

No. Residential rotates across the whole pool, with no country, state, city or ASN selection. That is how the product is listed, not a setting you have missed.

If your job needs a location

Use a static line instead:

  • ISP is ordered by country, with region and city where stock allows, and you pick the internet provider by name.
  • Datacenter is ordered by country, with region and city where stock allows.

See Ordering ISP IPs: carrier, location, plan and term or Ordering datacenter IPs, and the countries we cover on the locations page.

Checking where an exit is

To see where a given exit sits, request an IP-echo page through the proxy and look the address up, or run the browser proxy checker with the proxy switched on. Expect the answer to change on the next request, because residential rotates; see Rotation, sticky sessions, and which to pick.
