Use a Specific IP 

When using Bright Data's Datacenter Proxy network, you may find the need to use a specific IP allocated to your zone.

  1. Locate the IP you want to target

  1. Add the -ip- flag to your request, after your zone’s name

curl --proxy brd.superproxy.io:22225 --proxy-user brd-customer-<CUSTOMER_ID>-zone-<ZONE_NAME>-ip-181.41.203.208: <ZONE_PASSWORD> "https://lumtest.com/myip.json"
  1. Send a test request, and review the response 

{"ip":"181.41.203.208","country":"BR","asn":{"asnum":61317,"org_name":"Ipxo Uk Limited"},"geo":{"city":"São Paulo","region":"SP","region_name":"Sao Paulo","postal_code":"01323","latitude":-23.5335,"longitude":-46.6359,"tz":"America/Sao_Paulo","lum_city":"saopaulo","lum_region":"sp"}}

We recommend using https://lumtest.com/myip.json as the target domain in your request, to review your IP credentials.
