If you have proxies from multiple locations and want to focus on a specific region, filtering by country makes your list much easier to manage. This is especially useful on the Rotating Residential plan, which gives you access to proxies from all available locations, even when you only intend to use a few of them.
How to Filter by Country
Go to the Proxy List page on your Webshare account.
Click on the 'Countries' option.
Select the countries you wish to view from the list and click 'Save Changes.' The page will refresh to show only proxies from the selected country.
To export a list containing only proxies from your selected countries, click the download button, press refresh, then download the file.
Filtering by country in your username
Once your list is filtered, proxies viewed through the Backbone Connection include the country code in the username. For example, *****-ca-1, where ca indicates Canada.
You can also use this directly: add the country code to the username field in your setup to pull proxies from a specific country (for example, us for the USA or gb for the UK).
Filtering by city
On the Rotating Residential plan, you can also target a specific city. The selection is done through the Endpoint Generator, and the city is reflected in your username using this format:
username-us-city_los_angeles
For the full setup walkthrough, see our Endpoint Generator guide.
