For example, if you want to rotate United States proxy pool only, use rotating port `8000` together with a parameter  `country-US` in your username:

```bash
curl -x dc.oxylabs.io:8000 -U 'user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD' https://ip.oxylabs.io/location
```

#### Differences between subscription methods

`Datacenter per IP` users who provide rotating port and `country` parameter will receive a **random IP from the selected country from their Proxy list** with each new request.\
\
`Datacenter per traffic` users who provide rotating port and `country` parameter will receive **random IP from the selected country from the entire proxy pool.**
