# Initial Setup

Send a request to <mark style="color:blue;">gw\.netnut.net:5959</mark> using a random static residential IP address. Use your proxy user credentials to replace USERNAME and PASSWORD and enter the relevant site URL.

cURL example:

<mark style="color:blue;">`curl`</mark>`-x  USERNAME-stc-any:PASSWORD@gw.netnut.net:5959 “example.site.com”`

&#x20;

You can specify which country IP to use by adding the two-letter country code to your username string. For example, a request that goes through a proxy in the Netherlands would add nl, as in the example below:

<mark style="color:blue;">`curl`</mark>`-x  USERNAME-stc-nl:PASSWORD@gw.netnut.net:5959 “example.site.com”`

&#x20;

See the list of country codes [here.](https://countrycode.org/)  Please note that for the United Kingdom, NetNut uses the code UK, not GB.

You can target the city and state level with your request. For example, adding nl\_amsterdam to the username string specifies the request go through a proxy from Amsterdam in the Netherlands:

<mark style="color:blue;">`curl`</mark>`-x  USERNAME-stc_sc-nl_amsterdam:PASSWORD@gw.netnut.net:5959 “example.site.com”`

You can also specify a US state/city configuration.
