Anti-detect browsers use various services and databases to verify the location of an IP. The accuracy of these services and databases differs, so two tools can report two different locations for the same address. This applies to Residential and Mobile proxies.

​
Check against MaxMind

To get an accurate result, check your IP and geolocation after connecting to our proxies using this service: MaxMind GeoIP Databases This is the benchmark we use, so it is the one to compare against before concluding the targeting did not apply.

​
Other things to check

  • Confirm the proxy is the one you think it is. Run Check proxy in the dashboard and compare what it reports with what your browser reports.
  • A ZIP overrides region and city. If your username carries a -zip- parameter, the region and city you picked are not in the string at all. See ISP and ZIP targeting.
  • ISP proxies resolve to a city you did not choose. ISP targeting is country-level only, so seeing a city is expected. See Available Locations [ISP].
