Canadians (and other non-USers) - How Do You Test Offers?

[hookshot]

Being Canadian, I always get the "this offer is not available in your area". I assume the way to get around this is by using a proxy, but I can't find any that actually register my clicks.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

 

[PinstripeRambo]

Any friends in the US or wherever it is that can test it?

 

[hookshot]

Unfortunately, no.

*Joke about not having any friends at all*

 

[Uzzz]

proxies my friend. ones i find usually always register.

Since when are Canadians non-users? They're the biggest pot heads I know.

Get some shared hosting in the us for like 5 bucks and you can then probably proxy through that

Exactly...

Here's what I do:

1. Search around for Dreamhost discount codes, you should be able to find one that get's you 1 year of hosting for like 10 to 20 bucks (yes, per year!)

2. Once you've got it, setup an ssh user

3. whip open a cmd line on your computer and type:
ssh -ND 9999 [user]@[server].dreamhost.com
[enter password]

your cmd prompt should just hang... this is normal, let it do this....

4. in firefox -> preferences -> advanced -> network -> settings & select Manual proxy configuration

for 'SOCKS Host' enter: localhost 9999

5. and wha-la! your tunneling through a la-brea California ip addy, all U.S. based aff offers will show up for you...

I am trying to learn about this computer stuff myself, so I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not. Perhaps it could help in some way.

I've heard Canada is a beautiful country and I hope to visit it before I kick off. Best wishes.

Cough up the dough for a paid proxy account. They're not the expensive and then the clicks will register.

I'm in Europe and I'm using Hotspot Shield. It assigns you a temporary US IP.

This is what I use. All you need is ssh access to any hosting provider, and you have a proxy via whatever country their data center is based in.

Thanks everyone... I've already got a dreamhost account so I'll just go that route

 

[Uzzz]

fuckin eh!

You rock! This is way better than Hotspot Shield.

Now I've probably done something retarded, but when I try that command line, I get an error: ssh is not recognizable as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Does anyone know what I've done wrong?

You need putty. Install, define your server, connect and run the above command.

Iirc, putty doesn't install ssh for use in the command line. Putty does have it somewhere in the options... I believe under Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels.
