You can also add the geolocation manually with altering the password parameter.

Simply add the locations as follows:


```
resi.ipv6.plainproxies.com:8000:user-country-{Country}-state-{State}-city-{City}:password
```

The country parameter needs to be in the following format: -country-BR
The state parameter needs to be in the following format: -state-am-
The city parameter needs to be in the following format: -city-iranduba

A correctly formatted proxy would look like the following proxy:

```
resi.ipv6.plainproxies.com:8000:user-country-BR-state-am-city-iranduba:password
```
