Quick answer
How do I check where my proxy IP is?
Request an IP-information service through the proxy, for example https://ipinfo.io/json, and read four fields: country, city, organisation (ISP) and ASN. A UAE home IP from MENA Proxies should show country AE and an organisation such as e& (AS5384) or du (AS15802). Check two or three services, because geolocation databases often disagree on the city while agreeing on the country.
for cc in ae sa eg; do
curl -s -x http://USERNAME-country-$cc:[email protected]:7777 https://ipinfo.io/json \
| grep -E '"(ip|city|country|org)"'
doneWhat should each field say?
| Field | What to expect from a MENA home IP | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Country | The two-letter code you asked for: AE, SA, EG… | A different country |
| Organisation / ISP | A consumer operator: e&, du, stc, Mobily, Zain, Ooredoo, WE, Orange, Maroc Telecom… | A hosting or cloud company |
| ASN | The operator's network, such as AS5384 (e&) or AS8452 (WE) | An ASN registered to a data centre |
| City | Often the main city of the operator's region, and sometimes the capital for the whole country | Only a problem if two services agree on a different country |
| Type (on services that show it) | Residential, ISP or mobile | Hosting |
Why do lookup services disagree about the city?
Geolocation databases guess a city from the registration data of an address block, from routing measurements and from user reports. In small or centralised networks, a whole operator's range can be mapped to one city: a UAE address may be shown in Dubai or Abu Dhabi whatever the emirate, and an Egyptian address may be placed in Cairo.
What matters is the database the target site uses, which you usually cannot know. For checks where the city matters, use city targeting when IPs are online there, compare two or three lookup services, and judge by what the target site shows, such as the delivery city a store proposes.
What else changes the local version of a page?
Sites also read DNS, time zone, language and cookies; set them to match the market you are checking:
- DNS: with SOCKS5, use remote DNS (
--socks5-hostnamein curl,socks5h://in Python) so that the hostname is resolved by the proxy, not on your machine. - Time zone and language: set the browser's time zone (for example
Asia/Dubai,Asia/Riyadh,Africa/Cairo) and language to match. Playwright and Puppeteer have options for both. - Cookies and saved country: stores remember the country you last used. Start each country with a clean profile.
- Account settings: a signed-in account carries its own country. Use only your own test accounts.
The point is to see the page a local user sees, not to hide who you are: our Acceptable Use Policy forbids using the service to get around identity or fraud checks.
What does a verification run cost?
An IP lookup moves about one kilobyte, so checking hundreds of exits costs a fraction of 1 GB ($1.88). Traffic never expires. Prices as of October 2026.

Location checks: questions
My UAE IP shows Abu Dhabi but I asked for Dubai. Is it wrong?
Not necessarily. Lookup services often place UAE operator ranges in one emirate whatever the home's real location. Check a second service, and look at what the target site shows, such as the delivery area a store proposes. If several services agree on another country, contact support.
Which lookup services should I use?
Any two or three of the common IP-information services that return country, city, organisation and ASN in JSON. Use the same ones on every run so that results stay comparable.
How can I tell a residential IP from a data-centre IP?
Look at the organisation and ASN: a residential IP belongs to a consumer operator such as e&, stc or WE, while a data-centre IP belongs to a hosting or cloud company. Some lookup services also label the type as residential, mobile or hosting.
