Affiliate URL (4)

I have a dating offer from PeerFly and the affiliate URL redirects me to a CERTIFIED WINNER CLAIM FORM kind of webpage. Is this normal? My AM told me that I could find a proxy in order to view the landing page. Sorry for asking dumb questions. I'm still a newbie.

Hey deniouz,

The offer sound like it is in another country, and they have a redirect setup. That means if an ip outside the allowed country tries to access the offer then they get redirected to an appropriate offer in their country.

You will need a VPN (virtual private network) proxy to assign you a IP for the country the offer is in. I personally use the paid version of HMA (hidemyass.com). Others have recommended other VPN unfortunately I can't think of them right now, Im not on my computer.

I second the HMA recommendation and suggest one more for easy switching between countries - Astrill.com. They don't have as many countries and servers as HMA, but they cover most of the countries that affiliates run and the service is very stable and fast + it's cheaper than most premium VPN offers (I got mine for ~$30 annually - search for discounts).

The #1 reason to consider Astrill is that their desktop app has this "OpenWeb" mode where it routes only your selected browser traffic. In this mode it's one click on the dropdown menu to change the country - no reconnects - it takes 1 second to jump countries. It makes it really easy and fast to browse when looking at your networks offers or spy tool results. Power tip here: set it to route one of your browsers only. For example, you have your FF for default connection and Chrome or IE routed via Astrill when you want to run with VPN.
