For a multi-step check, keep one Reykjavík IP with `USERNAME-country-is-city-reykjavik-session-reykja1-ttl-10`. Sticky sessions last up to 30 minutes (the IP can change earlier).

An IP lookup may show a nearby place such as Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður, Garðabær and Mosfellsbær instead of Reykjavík: databases place suburban address blocks differently. Check the exit before you rely on it.

Collect only what you need, respect each site's terms and robots.txt, and see our [GDPR checklist](https://eurocityproxies.com/guides/gdpr-checklist-proxy-data/). This is not legal advice.
