Q What is Pangeo PRO?

Pangeo PRO is a dynamic toolkit that let you view geo-targeted local content, as if you were actually in that location.In addition, it emulates mobile content and ads from a long list of mobile devices so you easily can view content and ads targeted at mobile users.The Pangeo PRO toolkit includes browser extension for Chrome and Firefox, Android and IOS apps, web proxy, SelectVPN, traditional VPN Client and API.

Q Which browsers will give me the best experience?‎

If you want to have “one click access” to any of our premium proxies directly from your browser, we recommend you to use the Pangeo PRO extension for either Firefox or Chrome.If you prefer using IE, Opera or any other browser our SelectVPN will give you the best experience.

Q Do you have VPN service or only proxy?‎

Both, and in addition we also have an advanced SelectVPN service.

Q What is the difference between your traditional VPN client and your SelectVPN?‎

They will both allow you to test ads inside applications.  However, whereas our VPN client will changes the IP for your entire computer, our advanced SelectVPN will allow you to selectively choose which applications that should be routed through our global proxy network.We recommend that you always use the SelectVPN as this solution gives you a much faster connection time and greater flexibility compared to traditional VPN clients.

 

Q Can I use your proxy to watch local TV?

Yes. While our service primarily is used by online professionals to monitor their global online and mobile activities, our proxy service can also be used to access video sites that prevent their content from being viewed, streamed, or downloaded unless you are in that specific location.
