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?

How can I test my website in another country?

Geo Browse is a tool designed to capture screenshots of your website from different countries. It works by rendering your website using a proxy located in the selected country of your choice so you can see how your website looks from that country.

How do you test geolocation?

The most efficient way to perform geolocation testing is to automate the testing with a tool like Appium. Users can simulate web and mobile app behavior from various locations using Appium's IP geolocation feature, which uses IP addresses from various countries.

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.
