    • City – rotates amongst the available IPs within the same city.
    • Country – changes to other IPs within the same country.
    • Region – changes amongst IP addresses within the same geographic region, such as North America, South America, North Europe, East Europe, South Europe, Africa, Asia, or Oceania. The region depends on the VPN location you select.
