Why use Location & Identity Settings?
- Global reach – Test or collect data from sites that restrict content by country or region.
- Reliability – Residential IPs and realistic fingerprints lower the odds of rate-limits or log-ins getting flagged.
- Consistent runs – Lock a fixed city/OS combo so repeat tasks see the same site version every time.
What you can configure
- Proxy Type
- Options: Residential (static) / Mobile
- When to use: Choose static residential to keep the same household IP for an entire session
- Geolocation
