# How can i test the redirect rules

In this post, I am going to cover the topic on how to test the redirect rules after setting up the app.

**Let’s consider a scenario:**

I’m running a store [https://all-round-store.myshopify.com](https://all-round-store.myshopify.com/) with the GeoIP country Redirect installed on it.

The app is set up so that the **US and Canadian** visitors will be displayed a POPUP to get redirected to their country store i.e. [https://sg-localapp.myshopify.com/](https://sg-localapp.myshopify.com/)

It is difficult for me to test the redirect rules because **I am located in India.**

**In order to test the redirect rules for different country locations, we will use the VPN extension.**

A VPN app or extension allows you to set a virtual location in the browser. So, using it you can test the behavior of your store for other country visitors.

**Here are the steps involved:**

**Step 1**. Install a VPN app or extension. In our case, we are using the HOLA VPN. You can install it using the link [https://hola.org/](https://hola.org/)

**Step 2**. Make sure the app is enabled on your store.

**Step 3**. Visit your store and set the country in the VPN for which you want to test the redirect rules.

In our case, we are visiting [https://all-round-store.myshopify.com](https://all-round-store.myshopify.com/) with the country selected as the “**US**” in the VPN.

**Step 4**. The POPUP is displayed as per the selected country in the VPN. Click on “**YES**” to redirect or “**NO**” to stay on the same store.

{% endhint %}

**Step 5**. **Clear the browser cookies** and **Repeat step 3** by selecting the country location as CANADA in the VPN.

**Step 6**. Sometimes, due to the browser cookies, the VPN does not set an accurate location. **So, in order to get the best results clear the browser cookies before testing the redirect rules with the VPN.**

Similarly, you can test the redirect rules for other countries as per your requirements.
