I created this quick tool for testing Geo-targeted ads from multiple locations. It is still in its early stage. Excuse any screenshot delays as the scaling feature is still being ironed out.

I appreciate all feedback and suggestions.

Looks great! But got an error for Amsterdam location.

Another indirect feature of your service is to browse internet when connected to restricted Wifi hotspots. This is possible because of https protocol you use.

Please try again. The servers sometimes time out. Yes, it can be used as a web proxy but it only provides screenshots with no interaction. Should be fine for checking content sites.

Our screenshots aren't as pretty, but we're in a few locations. http://shotsherpa.com

"View your website around the world without a single customs agent." nice motto. I like your UI and you seem to have a lot of locations, do you use a proxy network?

Figured, you are behind WonderProxy

We generate the screenshots in each locale rather than routing with a proxy. Which probably results in our much less pretty screenshots.

This is great, but my use case is a little different:

"Is your website up around the world?"

and this is perfect for that!
