What evidence is enough to confirm the requested proxy location?

A configured country is useful information, but it does not prove that the target page returned the intended regional view.

For an authorized public-page test, I would record both the requested country and the observed evidence. An IP geolocation lookup can confirm one part of the route. The page itself may show a different currency, shipping market, language, or redirect because of cookies or an account setting.

The validation rule depends on the task. If the job asks for a regional price, the currency and shipping market matter. If it asks whether a landing page appears in a region, the final URL and visible page variant matter. A generic “country matched” flag is too broad to cover both.

I would label results confirmed, contradicted, or uncertain. An uncertain result should be reviewed rather than forced into the accepted dataset. The test record should also keep the collection time and browser context so the mismatch can be reproduced.

What combination of exit-location checks and page-level evidence do you require before treating a proxy-based regional result as valid?
