# Locations

Selecting the appropriate geographic location for your proxy IP is critical for simulating user behavior and accessing localized content.

### Set locations

You can specify a region using one of the following two methods:

* Select directly in the Control Panel.
* Set via username parameters. Add the `region-<CountryCode>` parameter to your username.&#x20;

**Examples:**

* **Obtain a US IP:**

```http
curl -x host:port -U "username-zone-roam-region-us:password" ipinfo.io
```

* **Obtain a UK IP:**

```http
curl -x host:port -U "username-zone-roam-region-uk:password" ipinfo.io
```

#### Verifying Location

After executing the test command, check the `country` field in the response from `ipinfo.io` to ensure it matches your selected region code.

**Output Example:**

```http
{
  "ip": "86.189.212.71",
  "city": "Wallsend",
  "region": "England",
  "country": "GB",
  "loc": "54.9911,-1.5340",
  "org": "AS2856 British Telecommunications PLC",
  "postal": "NE28",
  "timezone": "Europe/London",
  "readme": "https://ipinfo.io/missingauth"
}
