Can I choose specific countries or cities with residential proxies?

Yes — usually you can choose specific countries, and often specific cities, but it depends on the proxy provider and the type of residential proxy plan you buy.

What’s commonly available

• Country targeting: Very common
• City targeting: Often available, but not always
• ZIP/ISP-level targeting: Less common, usually on higher-end plans
• Carrier/mobile targeting: Sometimes available for mobile/residential blends

Why it varies

Residential proxies come from real consumer devices, so the available locations depend on:

• where the provider has proxy coverage
• whether users’ IPs can be geolocated accurately
• the provider’s targeting options in their dashboard/API

What to check before buying

Ask the provider:

• Can I target by country / city / state / ASN / ISP?
• Is targeting available immediately, or only through a rotating pool?
• Do you guarantee dedicated geo-targeted IPs, or just best-effort routing?
• Can I use the location through username parameters or an API?

Example

A provider might let you request:

• US
• US, New York
• GB, London

If you want, I can also help you compare residential vs datacenter vs mobile proxies for geo-targeting.
