Good VPN for testing offers? (13)

Good VPN for testing offers?

I've been using HideMyAss VPN fo some time now for testing offers that are geolocation gated to ensure that they work correctly and how many hoops of fire the users has to jump though.

Although my IP is translated to an IP congruent with the offer's country, many of the networks appear to know that I'm actually in the UK and so show my another page.

Can anyone please recommend a VPN which both changes the IP and the referer?

Just use Overplay. Like urrr $10 a month or so, proxies available in pretty much every country you could want. Never had any problems with it.

I tried that yesterday and it didn't work as I expected...

a quick looks shows that it simply uses glype proxy script...it works from time to time but surely not 100%

Yeh i heard that - something about them doing their own aff campaigns as well? I haven't had any problems yet, but networks should realise their annoying georedirects make us have to buy services just to view landing pages... they could just harvest the Overplay IPs and set them to ignore impressions or something....

That comment makes me want to opt for strongvpn. I think that you've mentioned working with Peerfly in previous posts, and I've had a lot of problems with their interface using HideMyAss. Once I get this sorted I can start doing some decent numbers with them.

Cheers tijin.

I think StrongVPN is the main other choice to Overplay. From what I've heard the service is better, although you get slightly fewer countries to choose from overall - mainly missing a few of the littler guys. Definitely the choice if you need multiple cities within the US, for sure.

Overplay was blocked when i was in thailand. As was HMA. StrongVPN was fine.
