Melbourne by local IP: coast day trips, market stalls and the free tram zone
Websites estimate your location from your IP address, so a Melbourne proxy, which routes your browsing through a connection in the city, makes many of them treat you like a local. Searches lean towards Melbourne cafés, shops and tours, and adverts follow suit. It's useful for planning days out, checking how a stall or small shop appears to Melbourne customers, or house-hunting before a move.
Day trips down the coast
Searches for Great Ocean Road tours or the Phillip Island penguin parade tend to show Melbourne pick-up options and local operators when your IP is in the city. Read recent reviews and check pick-up points before booking, as many tours collect from the CBD.
Seeing your stall or shop as locals do
Sell at a weekend market or run a small shop? With a Melbourne IP, search for what you sell plus a suburb, such as 'handmade candles Northcote', and you'll see roughly where your listing appears to nearby customers and which sellers show up first.
Datacenter or residential?
Two types suit most beginners. The cheaper datacenter kind, hosted in server buildings, is fine for light browsing, such as checking what's on at Federation Square. The residential kind comes from ordinary home connections, so it's the better test of how your own stall or shop looks in local results.
