# Restricting Zyte Smart Proxy Manager IPs to a specific region

Zyte Smart Proxy Manager (formerly Crawlera) can be restricted to use proxies of a particular region
in the following ways:

## Selecting a region with region-specific API keys

1. Make sure that you have a Smart Proxy Manager account.

2. Now, go to your Zyte Smart Proxy Manager Dashboard in [Zyte](https://app.zyte.com/), and click
the “Create Account” button:

3. Next, under the “Create New Smart Proxy Manager Account”, select the regions from where you want
to use the IPs, and create a new account.

1. Finally, find the API key for this new user in your project’s Smart Proxy Manager “Setup” page.

> [!NOTE]
> Creating region-specific extra accounts doesn’t entail additional charges.

## Selecting a region with the header

Add `X-Crawlera-Region` to request headers, with a country code in [ISO format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2) as the header’s value. For instance, to select
a French IP, use it as `X-Crawlera-Region: FR` (or in lowercase, `X-Crawlera-Region: fr`).

> [!NOTE]
> This header is not available on legacy Crawlera plans (C10, C50, etc.)
