  • Simple and intuitive interface, very easy to switch between proxies.
  • There is an Android app that can be used with the same account.
  • More locations or alternative servers can always be arranged, if need be.
  • There is no iOS app which is a big gap and we need an alternative product for such devices.
  • Our subscriptions is with shared and limited bandwidth, some users forget to turn off GeoSurf when they are done with the proxy thus incurring unnecessary costs. Would be good to have some reality checks implemented to avoid unintended long session.
  • The Android interface is little outdated, although it's still simple and quick to use. I'd prefer slightly more modern design, including usage statistics.

  • Allows us to use real flows and real banking information for final review of products before shipping to a geo beta territory.
  • On mobile, the app UI is a little confusing and not that easy for some of our users to understand. First time users usually need a little hand holding.

  • Offers IP of locations without being there
  • Easy tool to use
  • Doesn't work well on Chrome
  • Need to offer more IPs per popular locations (they get burnt)
  • The IPs appear as satellite - this also doesn't project a real and accurate picture

  • Great support
  • Has all the GEO locations I need
  • In 5 years only once I needed a specific location that was not available
  • Different login interface. When you enter your username (email address) then leave the interface to look for the password - the username disappears.
  • Have to re-login often.

  • Flexibility to switch countries (if you need another country on your GeoSurf account, you can easily send a request to your GeoSurf contact).
  • Mobile Emulation.
  • Great support!
  • Experienced problems with the GeoSurf toolbar in several browsers (it's currently not working in Chrome for example).
  • Missing an overview of the contract (can't see how many countries we can add/how many change requests we can send, etc.).

  • GeoSurf allows us to connect to our products the same way it was experienced by connecting from a different country, with latency and ISP limits.
  • It allows us to check blacklist and whitelist IPs and countries.
  • It is allowing us to reproduce real user complaints with success.
  • We need to have ability to check some other geolocation checks with simulation of GPS coordinates and other checks.

  • GeoSurf is redirecting web traffic really well in order to simulate browsing from alternative locations.
  • GeoSurf has a good interface and is very easy to set up and adjust.
  • GeoSurf provides a very large number of possible VPN locations all around the globe.
  • One main thing to improve is that when GeoSurf is turned ON it routes traffic from idle browser tabs too. Would be best if only active tabs traffic is being redirected.
  • A widget to monitor traffic in real-time would be nice.
  • A way to program it to turn on/off the IP routing at specific times would be nice.

  • GeoSurf is a powerful tool that allows us to switch from the different versions of our websites in country to country very quickly.
  • It has a very easy-to-use interface and toolbar which makes changing countries very easy.
  • GeoSurf has a mobile view which allows us to see what mobile content looks like in a given country within a web browser.
  • Occasionally a country will stop working for periods of time. They usually come back eventually, but can be a bit annoying when you need to see content in that country.
  • GeoSurf can interfere with the default browser proxy settings and interfere with loading content when it is turned off.
  • It's not really a GeoSurf problem, rather an issue on our company network, but some of my team are unable to access one country in particular, and we are having trouble getting this issue sorted by our IT team.

  • Many items in country list
  • Fast connection
  • Works well for IOS 9.x
  • Some proxy servers are not available from time-to-time
  • County list could be extended
  • Does not work for IOS 10.x, since PPTP was removed from IOS, and GeoSurf did not provide any other solution.

  • Logging in - very easy.
  • Selecting a country - very easy.
  • Quick access through control panel.
  • I would like to be able to use Geosurf on a a particular window, rather than having that IP active on all windows. This would enable me to make comparisons between different countries simultaneously.

  • Simulate network requests from different parts of the world in order to see how our tech performs from different regions.
  • Test how our system behaves with when operated from client devices that identify as from different world regions.
  • Test security and fraud prevention systems that handle global IP ranges differently.
  • Operate web crawlers anonymously and legally.
  • We sometimes receive proxies to blacklisted IP addresses that we can't use.

  • Quick connection to web across different geos
  • Quick connection to web across different devices (and the combination of the two)
  • The main issue in my eyes is the very complex installation process, mainly finding the right app/software.

  • It provides solutions for both web browsers (AdClarity) and any given device. We use it to test Xbox games, iPhones and websites.
  • The AdClarity browser plugin is convenient and fast to connect.
  • After training, anyone can use a GeoSurf solution.
  • It has been very difficult to set up GeoSurf for a device like an Xbox or Playstation, requiring significant experimentation and multiple devices daisy-chained and we needed to write detailed integration guides for testers. Device-specific solutions or guides would help tremendously.
