We use the [MaxMind GeoIP2](https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip2-databases) database to determine IPs location. To access an IP with a specific location, you do not need to provide any additional parameters. Simply send a request to the port associated with the desired location's assigned IP. ### ISP provider and ASN checking We understand that you may need to verify the network provider of your ISP IPs. Some databases may show inaccurate data for the ISP provider or ASN because they often display the original IP address owner rather than the network where the IP is currently announced. To ensure you have the most accurate, real-time data, we recommend checking the ISP provider and ASN data in the [RIPEstat](https://stat.ripe.net/) database. It reflects the current internet announcement status of the IP. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://developers.oxylabs.io/products/proxies/isp-proxies/location-settings.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
