Geo-Targeting Capabilities Across Proxy Types

This guide explains the geo-targeting capabilities available across different proxy types, helping you:
✅ Choose the right proxy for location-specific needs.
✅ Understand geo-filtering levels by proxy type.
✅ Set up and optimize geo-targeting settings.
✅ Select alternative locations when necessary.

📌 Rotating Residential and Mobile Proxies
✔ Most precise geo-targeting options:
✔ Country-level targeting
✔ State/region-level targeting
✔ City-level targeting

📢 Best for: Use cases requiring precise location-based access.

📌 Other Proxy Types
✔ Country-level targeting only
✔ Includes:

📢 Best for: General browsing, account management, and applications that do not require region- or city-level control.

✅ Step 1: Log in to your Proxiware account.
✅ Step 2: Navigate the dashboard of the proxy network where you have an active plan.
✅ Step 3: Select your desired country first.
✅ Step 4: Once a country is selected, you’ll see state/region dropdown options.
✅ Step 5: After selecting a state/region, available cities will appear in another dropdown.
✅ Step 6: Confirm your selection to apply location targeting.

📌 Sometimes your preferred location may be unavailable due to:
✔ Network infrastructure limitations.
✔ Regional service availability.
✔ Temporary maintenance or capacity issues.
​

If a location seems to have no available nodes, consider a larger, more populous area that is close by, or try increasing the pool size by removing city targeting.

📌 Which proxy should you choose?

✔ Need precise city-level targeting? → Rotating Residential or Mobile proxies.
✔ Only need country-level targeting? → All proxy types support this.
✔ Need mobile carrier-based IPs? → Mobile proxies (targeting levels may vary).

📌 If city or state options aren’t appearing:
✔ Ensure you are using a proxy network that supports it.
✔ Smaller cities may not be available due to network coverage limitations.

📌 For optimal performance:
✔ Choose larger metropolitan areas for better connection stability.
✔ Monitor network performance after deployment.
✔ Run latency tests between your end users and the selected data center.
✔ Analyze traffic patterns during peak hours to prevent slowdowns.

📌 Experiencing unexpected location results?
✔ Verify your geo-targeting settings in the dashboard.
✔ Try clearing cache or switching networks to refresh IP detection.
