Testing geolocation via VPN

[Steven Ringo]

Hi,

I have a project that has geolocation services to provide different views to different countries.

Testing locally by overriding a remote IP works. However it is a requirement that we test this without changing anything in our stack.

Does anyone know of a VPN or similar service with multiple points of presence (not Amazon EC2 locations) that will provision an IP from those locations?

Will need countries other than US/UK/AU etc.

I am sure I saw one in an article/blog etc. the other day. The screenshot had about a hundred to choose from. I cannot for the life of me remember where I saw it though...

Thanks.

Steve

You could use Tor :p

Mock the world at the network layer.

I have used https://www.witopia.net/ in the past.

I remember the signup process being painful, but once you are in Viscosity.app for OSX makes it easy to switch points of presence.

Thanks. I think Phil's suggestion will work the best. Would love to try
Tor, but we need to emulate real-world conditions...
