Comparison of GeoSurf Proxy Service and Foxy Proxy

If you are in the market for a strong, professional proxy service, you have probably narrowed your choices down to industry leaders GeoSurf and Foxy Proxy.  Here are some points to consider:

Locations:  In the online advertising world, a wide selection of important locations is critical.  If you sign up with Foxy Proxy’s 35 locations, you will be missing out.  GeoSurf offers more than 50 locations more than FoxyProxy.  To accurately test your content and advertising all over the globe, you need access to high value proxy locations.

Equally importantly, within the mighty United States market, web content and advertising is often targeted on a DMA (Demographic Market Area), or city level.  Without proper proxy coverage, you are left blindly wondering how your ads (and your competitors’ content) are displayed.

Reliability:  Because GeoSurf is built by media professionals for media professionals, it is reliable and dependable.  GeoSurf does not cater to consumers who are using the tool to watch restricted videos or play on restricted sites.  Our proxy IPs are not blocked because our users do not abuse sites and applications.  GeoSurf owns all of the servers on its proxy network and host them in Tier 1 datacenters around the world.  Our network boasts the highest levels of reliability, availability, and security. We sign legally binding agreements with our customers that their search history or any other data will never be released or used for any purpose.

Advanced Features: Media professionals know that a proxy server is not enough.  There are plenty of hacked, free proxies available, but these are not suitable for business use.  Our fast, reliable, dependable network is available with the following advanced features:

• GeoSurf™ Toolbar is available for Firefox and Internet Explorer to allow quick and easy access to our network of premium proxy servers in more than 80 locations around the world.
• GeoSurf™ VPN for changing the entire machine’s IP address to gateways on our global network of premium proxy servers to view local content in IM clients, casino and Forex applications, and other desktop software.
• GeoSurf™ for iPhone/Android for iPhones, iPads, and Android phones and tablets, this is the only tool that delivers real geo-targeted results in real time over these smartphones.
• GeoSurf™ Mobile Emulator to simulate mobile results of iPhones, iPads, Android phones, Blackberries, and many other models in web browsers for checking mobile ads and applications.
• GeoSurf™ Direct Connect API for advanced configuration, users can connect via API directly to gateways on our global network of premium proxy servers to allow operation of automated scripts for downloading geo-targeted content to internal systems.

Advertising Insights:  Possibly the greatest advantage of GeoSurf is that it is created for Online Advertising Professionals.  As such, in addition to the simple proxy capabilities, GeoSurf provides Comprehensive Interactive reports through its unrivaled GeoSurf Plus feature.  Simply browse to a desired website, and with a click, easily uncover its entire advertising eco-system, including campaigns’ creatives and landing pages, networks and agencies involved in the deployment of each campaign, statistical share of voice information, and much, much more.

Price:  Foxy Proxy has a complicated matrix with different pricing for different locations.  We built a package comparable to one recently purchased on our website.
