I want to test a bit of code on my QRZ page. Afghanistan doesn't help...neither does Turkey. Needs to be a unique hit to my page.

Let me know if you are in some remote place, have Internet access, and have a minute to help me test something. Thanks

And if propagation is there I'd be into a FT8 QSO for the logbook as well

If you have a second computer you can use a VPN proxy in the target country.

There's browswer VPN plugins as well.

Basically you either set up a VPN (or use a browswer plugin), select a VPN server in the target country,
and use the internet (really that simple.) Your traffic gets relayed via the VPN server so your IP will
be whatever that server's IP is in that country.

Thanks guys...the VPN trick worked like a champ. Tested exactly what I wanted and confirmed that my code did what I wanted.

Had no idea that would be as easy as it was.
