State targeting

State targeting restricts the exit IP to a specific US state, identified by its two-letter postal code (tx, ca, ny…). It exists because so much American commerce, advertising and regulation varies by state: sales tax, shipping, insurance quotes, gambling and lottery rules, local ads. Outside the United States, region-level targeting is uncommon and city targeting fills the gap.

State versus city#

A state is a large pool: plenty of exits, fast rotation. A city is precise but small. Use the state when the content depends on state law or tax (most e-commerce, insurance, streaming rights) and the city when it depends on the metro area (delivery, local search, real estate).
