Geo Targeting and Sessions
Geo targeting and session control decide whether the proxy behaves like a clean one-shot exit or a stable local user.
Geo Targeting
Start broad:
- Country
- State or province
- City
- ISP or ASN
Narrow filters can improve local accuracy but may reduce available inventory. Use the narrowest filter that the business case actually needs.
Rotation Strategy
| Strategy | Use when |
|---|---|
| Rotate every request | Search pages, broad crawling, one-shot checks |
| Sticky session | Login-like browsing, paginated flows, cart-like sessions |
| Fixed static IP | Account operations, store dashboards, long-term identity |
Consistency Checklist
- Proxy region matches target market.
- Browser timezone matches proxy region.
- Accept-Language matches the intended locale.
- Cookies are not mixed across unrelated identities.
- Retry logic does not hammer one target after failures.
