Hex Proxies supports three levels of geo-targeting: country, state or region, and city. Country-level targeting is available across all 100+ countries in our network. State-level targeting is available in the US, Canada, Australia, and select European countries. City-level targeting is available in major metropolitan areas worldwide. You select your target location when generating proxy credentials in the dashboard or via the API. Each proxy type supports geo-targeting, whether you are using residential, ISP, or datacenter proxies. The available granularity depends on IP availability in each location.

Hex Proxies geo-targeting is highly accurate because we verify IP locations against multiple geo-IP databases including MaxMind and IP2Location. Country-level accuracy is 99%+ across our entire network. State and city-level accuracy is typically 95%+ in major markets. Accuracy depends partly on how target websites resolve IP locations, as different sites may use different geo-IP databases. For critical geo-verification tasks, we recommend testing the assigned IP against the same geo-IP lookup your target uses to confirm the location matches. ISP proxies offer the most consistent geo-accuracy since each IP is permanently assigned to a specific location.

Yes. You can generate separate proxy credentials for each location you need and use them concurrently. For example, you might run price monitoring in the US, UK, and Germany simultaneously, with each scraper using proxies from the respective country. With Hex Proxies rotating residential proxies, you can also set a country target and let the system automatically rotate through IPs within that country. For ISP proxies, you can purchase IPs in multiple locations and manage them independently. The API supports location parameters, making it straightforward to automate multi-location workflows programmatically.

The United States has the largest IP pool in the Hex Proxies network, followed by the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, France, Brazil, and India. These countries have both residential and ISP proxies available with city-level targeting. Our 10M+ residential IP pool covers 100+ countries, though smaller markets may have limited city-level granularity. ISP proxies from our 250K+ pool are concentrated in North America and Europe with expanding coverage in Asia-Pacific. If you need IPs in a specific location with limited availability, contact our team to discuss sourcing options for your target market.

Ad verification requires viewing advertisements as they appear to users in specific locations. Configure Hex Proxies with the target location matching your ad campaign's geo-targeting settings. Connect through the proxy and visit the publisher's site to see the actual ad served to users in that area. This lets you verify ad placement, creative accuracy, competitor adjacency, and compliance. ISP proxies are preferred for ad verification because they maintain persistent sessions and have high trust scores, reducing the chance of being served different content than real users see. Run verification across multiple cities to check geo-targeting accuracy.

Proxies can technically access geo-restricted content by presenting an IP from the permitted location. However, major streaming platforms actively detect and block known proxy and VPN IP ranges. Success depends on the proxy type and the platform's detection sophistication. Hex Proxies residential and ISP IPs have the highest success rates because they originate from legitimate ISPs rather than known hosting providers. Important note: accessing geo-restricted content may violate the service's terms of use. Hex Proxies provides the technical capability, but users are responsible for ensuring their activities comply with applicable terms and laws.

Many e-commerce sites display different prices based on the visitor's location. To compare prices across regions, generate proxy credentials for each target country or city through the Hex Proxies dashboard. Send identical product page requests through each geo-targeted proxy and parse the returned prices. Automate this process by integrating the Hex Proxies API into your price monitoring script, cycling through locations programmatically. Use residential or ISP proxies to avoid detection, as e-commerce sites often block datacenter IPs. Store results with timestamps and locations for trend analysis across markets.

Geographic distance between the proxy and your target site affects latency. A US proxy accessing a US website will be faster than a Japanese proxy accessing the same US site because the data travels a shorter physical distance. However, the speed difference is typically 50 to 200 milliseconds, which is negligible for most workflows. For latency-sensitive tasks, choose a proxy location close to your target server rather than your physical location. Hex Proxies routes traffic optimally within each region to minimize latency. ISP proxies in the target country provide the best combination of geo-accuracy and speed.

Hex Proxies allows ISP-level targeting in select markets. This is particularly valuable for use cases where the target site serves different content based on the visitor's ISP, such as telecom company websites or ISP-specific content delivery networks. In the US, for example, you can request IPs from specific tier-1 providers. ISP-level targeting is subject to availability and may require an enterprise plan for granular selection. Contact our sales team with your specific ISP requirements, and we will confirm availability from our 250K+ ISP proxy pool.

After configuring your geo-targeted proxy, visit an IP geolocation service like ipinfo.io or whatismyipaddress.com through the proxy. The displayed location should match the target location you selected in the Hex Proxies dashboard. For more thorough verification, check that your target website serves location-appropriate content, such as local currency on an e-commerce site or region-specific search results. The Hex Proxies dashboard also shows the assigned IP location for each proxy credential, which you can cross-reference with third-party geo-IP databases to confirm accuracy before running production workflows.
