What affiliate and link verification covers
- Confirm tracking links and redirect chains resolve to the correct, approved landing page.
- Check that the right geo-targeted offer appears for each country or region.
- Catch broken, expired, or misrouted links before they cost conversions.
- Verify that currency, language, and creative match the intended market.
- Spot partner or publisher pages that cloak or swap out the approved destination.
Why residential IPs and geo targeting help
Affiliate networks, offer walls, and advertiser landing pages frequently branch on the visitor's IP location and connection type. A datacenter or office IP can be shown a fallback page, a geo-block, or an entirely different offer, so a link that looks fine from your desk may be broken for the audience it actually targets. Requesting through a residential IP in the destination country returns the same page a real customer would load.
Pair that with location targeting to test the exact market an offer is bought for. Nefo offers country-level targeting across 227 countries and territories, and city or state targeting in most countries, more than 22,000 cities in all. That lets you confirm a metro-specific offer or a country-locked promotion renders correctly for the right people.
Rotating and sticky sessions, HTTPS and SOCKS5
Rotating sessions assign a new IP per request, which suits high-volume sweeps: checking hundreds of tracking links, or the same offer across many countries, where each check should stand on its own. Sticky sessions hold the same IP for up to about 24 hours, which suits walking a full flow end to end, clicking the tracking link, following every redirect hop, and confirming the landing page and creative all resolve from one consistent location.
Both HTTPS and SOCKS5 are available on every plan. HTTPS drops straight into most headless browsers and link-checking scripts, while SOCKS5 is handy when a tool or automation framework expects it. You can mix session modes and protocols against the same non-expiring bandwidth balance.
Verify responsibly
Link verification is a quality and brand-protection activity: check offers and links you own or are authorized to review, and honor each destination site's terms, robots directives, and applicable law. Keep request rates reasonable and avoid collecting personal data you are not permitted to process.
Nefo is for lawful, ethical use only. Do not use proxies for cookie stuffing, fake or forced clicks, inflating conversions, or any activity that defrauds an affiliate program or advertiser; that violates our Acceptable Use Policy. Genuine verification protects your program, while abuse undermines it.
Getting started with link verification
Bandwidth is pay-as-you-go from 5 GB ($4.50, or $0.90/GB) and does not expire, so you can scope a verification run, a batch of links across a handful of countries, before scaling up. Buy any amount of GB that fits the job.
Generate credentials in the dashboard, pick your country (and city or state where available), choose rotating or sticky, and point your browser or script at the endpoint. Usage analytics and API access are included, with fast human support when you need it. You can pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Alipay, Binance Pay or crypto.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Residential proxies cover 227 countries and territories at country level, with city or state targeting in most countries across 22,417 cities, so you can verify geo-targeted offers for the right region.
Use rotating sessions for sweeps where each link or geo check is independent. Use a sticky session, up to 24 hours, to follow a full redirect chain and landing page from one consistent IP.
HTTPS and SOCKS5 are both available. HTTPS drops into most browsers and scripts, such as Playwright or Python Requests; choose SOCKS5 when your tool expects it.
Verifying links and offers you own or are authorized to review is a legitimate use, if you respect the destination site's terms and applicable law. Cookie stuffing, forced clicks and fraud against an affiliate program are prohibited by the acceptable use policy.
It depends on how many links and pages you load, but page checks are typically light. Plans start at 5 GB for $4.50 and never expire, so you can run a small batch first. Larger plans cost less per GB, down to $0.53/GB at 10 TB.
