Request: Test from localhost pretend visitor from other countries

  • This is not an issue but a request for ideas / suggestions on how to pretend a visitor is from another country while developing on localhost using GeoIP Detection plugin?

    Using proxies is too cumbersome as most of them are very slow.

    Currently I develop using Google Chrome and pretend visitors are tested on Firefox in order to keep cookies and sessions separate.

    I am stuck in pretending to visit from another country.

    Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Currently you could do that by hooking into the wordpress filter ‘geoip_detect2_record_data’ of the plugin, you can see examples of this in geoip-detect-lib.php:_geoip_detect2_try_to_fix_timezone() etc.

    You’re right, it would be nice to be able to do that within the wordpress backend, so if you feel like sending a pull request for this, you are very welcome to do so …
