I just had a call from norway saying that there is a weird domain redirect that ends up in a 404 error,

how can I simulate that I am in another country or replicate this error?

Answer 1

There is a service called Tunnel Bear , they allow you to install small application on computer, choose country where you want to "visit from" and then look at web sites as user from that country.

Also, there are lots of premium VPN solutions (i.e. ExpressVPN) which can be used to simulate this. It's pretty intuitive and easy to use. I think they have free account with some limited bandwith. @Carl_Whalley, if you want give it a shoot, hope it helps.

Finally, you can use Hoxx VPN proxy (installed as an free add-on for Mozilla) where you can choose multiple locations and change your IP.

Answer 3

Try this site to test from different locations http://www.webpagetest.org/

Answer 4

best way to do something like this is by using some proxy service.

List of web proxy services can be found at http://proxy.org/proxies_sorted.shtml , they are sorted by country.

Simply, find country you like (for example Norway), select any proxy and open web site with that proxy. It will be like you're visitor from that country. :)

Good luck
