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?

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.

    Awesome recommendation. Don't even need to install the application, just added the Chrome extension, super easy to set up and use. – Colby Fayock Mar 02 '17 at 15:46

    Also using a proxy is a good solution: 1. Search for proxy IPs from the country you want to visit your website with 2. search how to setup a proxy for your browser – TonkBerlin Oct 24 '17 at 18:02
  • Regarding [Tunnel Bear](https://www.tunnelbear.com/download) it is important to point that has available only few countries. – Alexandru Burca Jan 23 '21 at 22:30
  • BrowserStack has this feature. Read more here - https://www.browserstack.com/guide/test-websites-from-different-countries – Shan Eapen Koshy Jul 19 '21 at 17:11
  • @ShanEapenKoshy I'm not sure BrowserStack offers real server locations, or if they're simply simulating it. – Chris Mar 02 '22 at 05:21

  • Doesn't include South America.. only a few countries... Would work for OP, but not others. – Malachi Mar 07 '19 at 17:56
  • Still a great tool even ho it's limited to few countries, no registration needed. Russia seems to be not working at the moment. – Dale Ryan Dec 06 '21 at 07:30

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
