# Residential Proxies Region (State)

Source: https://docs.evomi.com/proxy-instructions/residential-proxies/geo-targetting/region/

You can target a specific region (state) by specifying the `region` in the proxy string. Regions can be things like states, provinces, or territories depending on the country. Valid examples are `california`or `southern.cape`.

```bash
curl -x http://rp.evomi.com:1000 -U testuser:testpassword_region-california https://ip.evomi.com/s

curl -x http://rp.evomi.com:1000 -U testuser:testpassword_region-southern.cape https://ip.evomi.com/s

```

  Note that you can find all available regions in the dashboard via our [Proxy Generator](https://docs.evomi.com/proxy-instructions/proxy-generator/).
