Test your own link from every market you promote — before your traffic does.
Affiliate links can send visitors somewhere different by country. Amazon's OneLink, for example, redirects international shoppers to their own Amazon store — 'close match' by default, neighbouring countries to the nearest store — and doesn't redirect links made with third-party shorteners.
If the traffic comes from Google Ads, the redirect chain is part of the review: Google disapproves ads whose final URL redirects to a different domain or whose tracking template doesn't lead to the same content as the final URL, and asks that the GCLID reaches the final landing page for conversion tracking.
So test the whole path from every GEO you promote — network redirect, merchant redirect, final page and parameters. A residential IP in the target country shows the path a local visitor gets; a check from home only proves one of them.

| Criterion | Choose | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Product | Rotating residential proxy, billed by traffic | Home-broadband IPs, the kind of visitor ads are bought for |
| Line | Budget (preselected) or Premium | Budget costs less per GB; Premium adds the optional ISP picker |
| How many proxies | One per market or city you check | Every proxy draws on the same traffic of its line |
| Country and city | Every GEO you promote, down to the city when the offer is local | Match the campaign's location targeting |
| Protocol | HTTP (preselected) | Works in browsers, proxy extensions and scripts; SOCKS5 is one click away |
| IP changes | Exit mode: Choose region / sticky IP | One exit holds while a page and its redirects load; generate again for a fresh IP |
The button below opens Rotating Residential Proxies with Use case: Ad verification — Budget line, HTTP, United States suggested. Every setting can be changed before you pay.

| Criterion | Rotating residential | Static ISP | Datacenter |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you get | Home IPs in the country, state or city you pick, sticky per session | One dedicated home-broadband IP for your whole term | Fast fixed server IPs |
| Price | Budget from US$1.50/GB, Premium from US$5.00/GB; US$1.35 and US$4.50/GB at 100 GB | Per IP, monthly — live price at checkout | Per IP — the lowest cost per IP |
| Best for affiliate link checks | A fresh local visitor per GEO for every redirect test | One logged-in network or merchant account kept in one country | Uptime checks of your own pages; known datacenter IPs are filtered as invalid ad traffic |
Prices in US dollars; 1 PTC = US$1. Top up your wallet, buy GB for the line you use, then generate proxies — buying traffic and generating are separate steps.
Click Configure affiliate testing proxies below. The console opens Rotating Residential Proxies with Use case: Ad verification — Budget line, HTTP, United States suggested.
Under Line keep Budget, or switch to Premium if you want to pick the ISP. Open Add traffic, pick a package or enter Custom GB, and click Buy selected package. Purchases start at 1 GB.
In Connection settings leave Exit mode on Choose region / sticky IP. Choose Region, then State and City if the campaign targets a city. Click Review cost and generate: Proxy302 checks that the new proxy really exits in that country before handing it over. Repeat for each market.
Run the script below with one proxy per GEO, or open the link in a fresh browser profile per GEO with DevTools → Network → Preserve log on. Note every hop, its status code and the domain it lands on.
Check that each GEO lands on the store, language, currency and offer the program allows there, and that your sub ID and UTM tags are still on the final URL. A GEO that hits a block page is one you shouldn't send traffic from.

Python with requests. It follows HTTP redirects one hop at a time through each GEO's proxy, prints every hop and lists tracking parameters missing from the final URL. JavaScript and meta-refresh redirects need a real browser — open those in a browser profile with the same proxy.
Check Does the exit match the GEO? Did an earlier visit leave a cookie in the profile?
Fix Use a fresh profile per GEO. For Amazon OneLink, check the match setting and use Amazon full or short links — third-party shortened links aren't redirected.
Check Which hop drops them — your redirect, the network or the merchant?
Fix Fix that hop or pass the parameters in a way it keeps. For Google Ads traffic the GCLID has to reach the final landing page.
Check Is the offer limited to other GEOs?
Fix That's the program's targeting: don't send traffic from that market, and test with a proxy in an allowed GEO.
Check Is supply short for that country on this line right now?
Fix Try again, or switch Line between Premium and Budget and generate again; each line uses its own traffic. The proxy is only delivered once the exit country matches.
Rotating residential with a sticky session per GEO: a local home IP that holds through the whole redirect chain, and a fresh one when you generate again.
OneLink redirects international shoppers to their local Amazon store — close match by default, neighbouring countries to the nearest store. Third-party shortened links aren't redirected.
Google disapproves ads whose final URL redirects to a different domain, or whose tracking template leads to different content. Trace the chain per GEO before you launch.
Yes. Choose Region, State and City in Connection settings and generate one proxy per city.
