Hola is a great program, but would sometimes cause issues and not revert back to a US geo. We have not experienced these issues with GeoSurf and I feel the interface is just as easy to use.

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 blows them out of the water in terms of features and liability. Freedom offers a cheaper cost but when you are working for a big company it is time to bring out the big guns and that is where GeoSurf comes in. Reliable is an understatement for sure.

We have tried Opera VPN and some other VPN solutions (OVPN). These alternatives, are not so stable or user-friendly and have fewer country servers.

GeoSurf provides more countries. PIA is more respected in the privacy space.

We started using Zenmate in the US because Geosurf didn't work in Chrome for US IP addresses for several months. Zenmate is free, but has limited locales.

Prior to my work at this company, I was a GeoEdge customer. Overall, I the products are largely the same in ease of use, reliability and features. I don't have a strong preference for either product. If I were to find myself at another company looking for this type of tool, I'd …

User Testimonials
GeoSurfIpregistry
Likelihood to Recommend
  • Well-suited for testing and demonstrating any product on any device for worldwide compliance.
  • Can be used for latency testing, but there are probably better solutions available.
  • Probably not as well suited for privacy; could be used like Private Internet Access, but I haven't seen general adoption of GeoSurf for that purpose. This would not help with my role at Disney though.

Pros
  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.
