Tesing geo-targeted offers page??

I want to do that to be sure they are working, but I wasn't successfull in doing that.

It is hard to find tier 3-4 proxy servers that actually work, I tried several of them.

Is there a turnaround? How I can do that?
It is very important , just discovering bad news after investing would be bad.

BTW I am new here, nice to meet you all, and thanks!

I assume you want to load offers with GEO redirects to see what they look like and verify that they work.

The most common way of doing this is using a VPN service, there is a lot of them available, for example hidemyass ... you might want to check out some coparison/reviews before buying.

One thing to note here, in case the offers also have carrier/3G detection in place, this will not help you because VPNs can't usually emulate carriers.

One way of doing this is by using browser extension to modify header/agent info, in some cases it works. To be honest though, there is no perfect and affordable solution to emulating carriers.

You can also try to ask your AM to disable these redirects for you, in many cases it is possible.

Or just can simply throw some traffic at the offers to see if they work ... and of course ask your AM if a particular offer is live before sending traffic.

thank you, those are valide advices.
I tried to put them in action but the best thing to do was having them tested by AM.
Thing is, sometimes the prelander button redirects to target offer , sometimes it doesn't (instead redirects to other one from same aff net.). This is what my AM told me.
My guess is that their proxy/vpn tester doesn't work so well because that usually happens when you try geoA offer from geoX (with X as different from A). What do you think about that?

Not sure what you are asking about. If there is GEO detection on an offer and it only takes traffic from GEO A, then of course, if you visit from GEO X, you will get redirected. That's how it works.

Usually a VPN does the job, but still, some offers or networks are able to detect the most known VPNs, so it will not work and you will get redirected anyways. If that's the case, there is not much you can do.

Just noticed this thread was created today on STM, didn't try them yet, but it might be the solution you need : https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...s-(FREE-TRIAL)
