GEO Location Targeting
Sometimes when you are browsing or using your proxies you might want to nominate the location you are browsing from. For example when accessing an international bank account for security reasons you might want to access the account from the country it is held in.
You can do this with our Premium GEO Residential service with a few simple tweaks to your username.
Country targeting
You can target a country by adding the parameter country-countrycode (replace with a country code to your desire) when authenticating (so when you are prompted to enter your username and password)
| Username | username-country- HK |
| FireFox Example |
 |
| cURL Example | curl -x premium.residential.proxyrack.net:10000 \ -U username-country-HK http://example.com |
Additional Examples
- France: username-country-FR
- United States: username-country-US
City Targeting
You can target a city by adding the parameter country-countrycode-city-nameofcity (replace country code and city to your desire) when authenticating.
| Username | username-country- US-city-NewYork *Note that all spaces in the name must be removed for it to match |
| FireFox Example |  |
| cURL Example | curl -x premium.residential.proxyrack.net:10000 \ -U username-country-US-city-NewYork http://example.com |
Additional Examples
- Paris: username-country-FR-city-Paris
- London: username-country-GB-city-London
ISP Targeting
With the Premium Residential service you also have the ability to target granularly down to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) by adding the parameter country-countrycode-isp-verizon (replace country code and ISP to your desire) when authenticating.
Note: When targeting an ISP make sure you do not include any spaces and we wildcard match the result to right comast* (comcas matches comcast, comca matches comcast, etc)
| Username | username-country- US-isp-Verizon *Note that all spaces in the name must be removed for it to match |
| FireFox Example |  |
| cURL Example | curl -x premium.residential.proxyrack.net:10000 \ -U username-country-US-isp-Verizon http://example.com |
How to get a list of countries, cities and ISPs
Country List
You can find the country list in the API Generator in your product dashboard. This will give you the country code for each location.
We also have an API end point you can use to get these more quickly which is explained below.
You can also get this through our API URL which will give you an output of all the available country location codes

| FireFox Example |  |
| cURL Example | curl -x premium.residential.proxyrack.net:10000 \ -U username http://api.proxyrack.net/countries |
City List
You can then see which cities are available for targeting by requesting the following URL through the proxy and simply replacing the country code as you need to
