# Country

You can target a specific country by using the `cc` parameter in your proxy username string. This parameter allows you to connect to a proxy located in a specific country.

You can specify any country in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format (e.g., `US` for the United States, `CA` for Canada).

## Code Examples

Example: request from Turkey (cURL):

```bash theme={null}
curl -x USERNAME-cc-TR:PASSWORD@proxy.pingnetwork.io:7776 https://ipinfo.io/json
```

Example: request from United States (cURL):

```bash theme={null}
curl -x USERNAME-cc-US:PASSWORD@proxy.pingnetwork.io:7776 https://ipinfo.io/json
```

Example: request from Germany (cURL):

```bash theme={null}
curl -x USERNAME-cc-DE:PASSWORD@proxy.pingnetwork.io:7776 https://ipinfo.io/json
```

## Parameter Format

Country targeting uses the standard proxy endpoint with country parameter in the username:

```text theme={null}
USERNAME-cc-<COUNTRY_CODE>:PASSWORD@proxy.pingnetwork.io:7776
```

Where `<COUNTRY_CODE>` is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.
