626039 2007-12-31 03:21:00 Dodgiest thread title this week?

The scenario is this i am doing pay per clicks for a client and want to view the ads however the advertising region is set for the US and Canada so I cannot see the ads in NZ, so basically i need to pretend to be in the US so i can view them

A lot of those cloaking sites look decidedly dodgy, so i would like suggestions of a reputable (is there such a thing) cloaking site

Thanks

626040 2007-12-31 03:42:00 The easiest way would be to find a web-based proxy which is in the US - something like KProxy.com is free, and you don't have to download any software or change any browser settings. somebody (208)

It may be geolocation based filtering (i.e. based on your IP address).

Do they use this for the Pandora site ?

626046 2007-12-31 18:12:00 Actually, Tor may not be appropriate here, I don't think you can define the IP you're given (to be say a U.S. IP)
Worth a try however

Have any mates in Canada or US who are highly network orientated? They may be able to let you go through them
