# ❔ Why is the required region not indicating on the proxies generated by some providers ? | |
The way it works is that there is a main server that accepts the requests coming to the proxies first. This server then routes the traffic to the proxies in the correct region. Like most people who have a plan with bright, they set up their servers in the US to accept the initial traffic. Some bots/proxy testers will show that the proxies are pinning in the US no matter what region they generate because they are just pining the proxies and not actually creating a request using the proxies. In reality the actually proxy is going to be the correct region. So it will still work during geo locking and all during drops. | |
Anyway the proxies actually work regardless of what any tester says the region is. | |
To test accurately to see which country the proxy is pinging from, please login to chrome using the proxy by following this guide: [![](https://oxylabs.io/favicon.ico)How to Use Chrome Browser Proxy Settings](https://oxylabs.io/blog/how-to-set-up-a-chrome-proxy) | |
