What is GeoSurf?

GeoSurf is browser toolbar that enables users to get the local perspective from more than 110 global locations. It is often used by online media professionals (buyers, campaign managers, sales, affiliates, and compliance teams) to view geo-targeted ads and web content. This way, they can easily validate and monitor campaigns, see who is bidding on localized ad placements, generate new sources of business, and enhance current marketing activities. The interface is a straight-forward toolbar which allows users to select the location they want to surf from and with a click of a button, they are surfing the internet in real-time as if they were actually located in that area.

Software Integration Architect in Corporate at The Walt Disney Company (10,001+ employees employees)

Pros

  • It provides solutions for both web browsers (AdClarity) and any given device. We use it to test Xbox games, iPhones and websites.
  • The AdClarity browser plugin is convenient and fast to connect.
  • After training, anyone can use a GeoSurf solution.

Cons

  • It has been very difficult to set up GeoSurf for a device like an Xbox or Playstation, requiring significant experimentation and multiple devices daisy-chained and we needed to write detailed integration guides for testers. Device-specific solutions or guides would help tremendously.

Quality Assurance with Test Automation in Information Technology at bwin (1001-5000 employees employees)

Pros

  • GeoSurf is redirecting web traffic really well in order to simulate browsing from alternative locations.
  • GeoSurf has a good interface and is very easy to set up and adjust.
  • GeoSurf provides a very large number of possible VPN locations all around the globe.

Cons

  • One main thing to improve is that when GeoSurf is turned ON it routes traffic from idle browser tabs too. Would be best if only active tabs traffic is being redirected.
  • A widget to monitor traffic in real-time would be nice.
  • A way to program it to turn on/off the IP routing at specific times would be nice.
