Why sites look different abroad
Many sites change with the visitor's country: prices and currencies, search results, which products or shows are available, adverts, and the language or local version you're sent to.
They mostly go by your IP address. A VPN gives you an address in another country, so the site shows you what visitors there see.
Seeing two countries at once
Switching the whole browser back and forth is slow, and sites remember you between switches. ZoneBlade's Each tab mode lets each tab group browse from its own country with its own cookies, so you can keep the UK and US versions of a page open side by side.
Good to know
- Some sites also use your account, payment card or browser language to decide what to show.
- Some services' terms restrict using a VPN to change region. Check them before you rely on it.
- Some sites block VPN addresses. If one won't load, try another country.
Questions
How do I see a website as if I'm in another country?
Use a VPN with an address in that country. ZoneBlade does it in Chrome and Edge for free in 6 countries, or 180 on Premium.
Why does a site still show my own country?
It may remember you from cookies or your account. Sign out, clear the site's cookies, or open it in a ZoneBlade country tab group, which keeps its own cookies.
Is it legal to view a website from another country?
Using a VPN is legal in the UK, the US and most of Europe. Some sites' own terms limit it, so check theirs.
