500 interviews from São Paulo. Nobody had to fly.

Surveys behave differently depending on where the respondent sits. SurveyTester bots answer from the country you choose, through SurveyTester's own VPN, so you see the survey your respondents in Brazil, Japan or Canada will see.

Why testing from your desk is not enough

From an office in Germany, a survey for Brazil looks fine. Respondents in Brazil may get something else entirely.

Geo checks and blocks

Panels and surveys check where a respondent comes from and block, redirect or screen out by location. From the wrong country, you never see that part.

Country routing and quotas

Market-specific questions, answer lists and quota cells only appear for respondents in that market.

Local formats

Postal codes, phone numbers, currencies and date formats are validated per country. A German postal code in a Brazilian survey proves nothing.

How SurveyTester tests from abroad

  1. 1

    Pick the country

    Set the VPN exit country per test run. SurveyTester operates its own exit nodes in more than 30 countries, connected through WireGuard, not a shared consumer VPN.

  2. 2

    Bots answer like locals

    A postal-code database for 100 countries gives every bot a valid local address. Combine country, language and device: desktop, mobile emulation or a real Android device.

    Compare markets side by side

    Screenshots per language and market next to each other, word-level differences between translations, and untranslated text found automatically. Every difference can become an issue in one click.

Questions teams ask

Which countries are available?

More than 30, and the list grows. If you need a country that is not available yet, tell us; new exit locations can usually be set up quickly.

Is this a commercial VPN service?

No. SurveyTester runs its own exit nodes and connects them through WireGuard. Your test traffic does not go through a shared consumer VPN.

Can I combine a country with mobile testing?

Yes. Country, language, market and device are set per run, including mobile emulation and a real Android device.

Your respondents are everywhere. Your test should be too.

Tell us which markets your next survey runs in, and we show you what it looks like there.

Three ways to start. Pick the one that fits your week.

Some teams want to click around on their own. Some want a guide at their side. Some just want to know whether their survey is fine. All three are free, and none of them commits you to the others.
