Yes, you can still use it. But note, if your account is in Washington but you keep logging in from Virginia, that's a huge reg flag.
 
Yes, you can use a proxy from a different state like Virginia, just keep it consistent to avoid account flags.
 
The most important thing is to keep log-in at the same location (of the proxy).

Yes, you can absolutely use a proxy from a different state like Virginia while physically being elsewhere. The key is consistency. Avoid frequent IP or location changes unless that's part of your setup strategy. For sensitive platforms or geo-tied accounts, a mobile proxy with stable geolocation or soft rotation within the same region helps keep your footprint natural.

what type of account are you logging into
 
Yes, you can use a Virginia proxy while living in Washington state. It will help you to access websites as if you were in Virginia. Just make sure the proxy is reliable and you should not face any issues.

No, they cannot tell. He meant that if you plan to use a proxy, it's better to create the account using that proxy and stick to the same IP. Jumping from one IP to another on a single account looks very suspicious.

Yes, you can. Matching the exact city isn’t critical in most cases - what matters more is keeping things consistent. If you always use a Virginia IP, even while physically in Washington, and you stick to the same ISP/ASN and behavior, you’re good.

Just avoid jumping between states too often or mixing regions randomly - that’s what tends to trigger checks.

Stability > precision when it comes to geo.
 
Yes, feel free to use a proxy from a different state. Has no issues.
 
yes but make sure you always use a proxy in a consistent location
 
Nope, your proxy does have to match your exact real city. As long as your consistent with the same state or region, most platforms wont care.
