Abstract:
This invention discloses selecting a proxy IP device (Proxy-ICDAPIA) by its geographical coordinates and distance from the target web service. A method and system are disclosed, allowing users to specify Proxy-ICDAPIAs by geographic coordinates. Embodiments describe the Proxy-ICDAPIA selection using Geohash areas, and from circular geographical areas specified by center coordinates and a radius. Proxy-ICDAPIAs are selected in areas where geographic density of web services is high, and selecting Proxy ICDAPIAs by country/city may be insufficient. Another problem solved when a client uses Proxy ICDAPIAs selection by coordinates, is an inability to provide a country code. The aforementioned functionality does work without a specified country code, some countries are not included in the pool used when no parameters are provided. This solution allows creating GeoHash pools, then encoding the client's provided coordinates into its own GeoHash to determine the containing Proxy-ICDAPIAs that match the specified coordinates.
