Fast + Secure + Reliable = GeoSurf
GeoSurf is an essential add-on that is used across our whole organization. Since we are an international company with many localized labels and regulations to comply with, GeoSurf enables us to simulate location-restricted journeys and verify the user experiences.
- 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- The Android interface is little outdated, although it's still simple and quick to use.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.
It's being used by the whole organization. It solves location problems.
- 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

Another happy customer!
[It's used by the] SEO department to simulate traffic to the website from a variety of GEO locations. The media and affiliation departments test the ads published by advertisers.
- 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.

GeoSurf Review
Our products are shared across different countries with different rules. We use GeoSurf to help log-in in different locations to make tests. It can be used by testers, developers and managers to validate releases or simply check if the apps are working correctly in these locations. The tool is used across all the organisation.
- Easy to use
- Fast and reliable service
- Good range of localizations
- Show the IP after choosing a localisation.
- Set different IP for each tab of the browser. Good to compare different tabs/localizations.
We use GeoSurf to test our products as if they were accessed by real customers outside of our corporate network. This is vital since our products behave differently based on the user's geolocation.
- 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.
Being an international company we quite frequently need to test user journeys from an international customer's perspective. GeoSurf enables us to do this, testing the products we launch on a range of global IP's.
- 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.

GeoSurf is a trusted geo proxy service
At Fyber, my team of engineers use GeoSurf to test the features of our ad tech products and simulate their behavior in different world regions. It is useful both for development and problem diagnosis. In a previous role, at mobile search company Quixey, we used GeoSurf as a proxy for web crawlers.
- 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.

GeoSurf Review
GeoSurf is used here mostly by the marketing department for research and testing purposes. The main issue it addresses is that our company is located outside our main (geographical) interest areas. I personally use GeoSurf to see how our campaigns are being carried out and what our competitors do in our key markets.
- 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.

GeoSurf Review
In our department GeoSurf is used as a VPN to test foreign user accounts for localization purposes. This helps ease the localization process as many of our products are released worldwide in many different countries. It is currently only used by one department but that could change in the future, as our department heads see changes in the industry.
- Unlimited IP Switching.
- Instant Setup and Easy Accessibility with Tool Bar Interface.
- Extension and Plug-in Convenience.
- Expensive.
- Slow for some countries.
- Really only fit for large to mid sized organizations.

Geosurf for Analysis
Select teams use Geosurf to reproduce the user experience across the locales supported by our site. It ensures that ads and partners present exactly as they did to the user.
- Geosurf offers the most relevant locales
- Geosurf is very responsive when an IP address stops working or is blocked
- The mobile emulator is particularly helpful
- There doesn't appear to be quality control across IP addresses, at least those supplied to my team. We are the ones that notice when they stop working. Geosurf could be more proactive in finding failing sites.
