I made a simple addition to the plugin parameters and plugin code to add a test zone. Are you interested in that addition?

Otherwise, it will detect your real IP. Also, you need to clear your browser's cookies and login/logout before each test. Otherwise, the information is cached in the session in order to not flood the Geolocation service.

Using a proxy isn't actually practical in a development environment.

The thing is that adding a test mode to the plugin to enter the zone you want to force would then bypass the geolocation process and thus bypass your tests. I'm afraid that these tests will have to be performed on an online development environment so that you can use proxies if you want to completely test the geolocation system.

I understand what you are saying, it's not a test of the whole system, but a test mode would give me a bit more confidence that the part of the process I am in control of is going to do what I'm expecting.

It has nothing to do with Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has an option to feed the geolocation system a fake IP address (for tests), but you can also do it by connecting to your website through a web proxy.
