Overall Satisfaction with GeoSurf

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.
  • Honestly, we have not pushed the envelope in any way that is not commonly practiced in the industry.

Prior experience with the product and support team made the decision easy for me as a manager. A positive reputation and reasonable price were priorities to others who participated in the decision.
Past experience made me want to use both GeoSurf and TrustedProxies.com for slightly different advantages. Budgets forced us to choose only one of these services and other team members made the final choice to go with GeoSurf.
GeoSurf is a good solution for testing the behavior of app user traffic from different parts of the world.
For crawlers, GeoSurf is OK but TrustedProxies.com provided some more attractive features and pricing.
