    I want to make sure that the IP based geo targeting is working on my site - how can I test it?

    Well I found my answer.

    Use FoxyProxy, and a list of proxies sorted by country.

    I was going to tell you to use a proxy - but you've already worked that out.
    Other than that, Foxy proxy looks awesome! I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip ;)

    The only problem I've got is finding a good list of proxies sorted by country.

    Anyone got a good list/site?

    You can doublecheck with other webpages using GeoIP

    IE: www whatismyipaddress com

    (Of course, if you're using the same GeoIP provider you'll get the very same results)
