Products launched across South and Southeast Asia and Oceania change behaviour by city: delivery zones, payment options, language and time. QA teams need to see each version before users do.

**Quick answer — Which proxies work for app geo-testing in Asian cities?**

Route your test browser or emulator through a residential IP in that city, set its time zone and language, and run your test cases. With Banyan Proxies, `USERNAME-country-my-city-johor_bahru` gives a Johor Bahru home IP at $1.88 for 1 GB (October 2026), and a sticky session keeps one IP for a whole test flow.

## What should I test in each city?

| Check | Example |
| --- | --- |
| Delivery zone | Is the service available in Davao City, or only in Metro Manila? |
| Currency and tax | Prices in IDR with VAT for Surabaya; MYR for Kota Kinabalu |
| Language | Thai default in Chiang Mai, Vietnamese in Da Nang |
| Time zone | Opening hours in Perth (UTC+08:00) against Sydney (UTC+10:00 or +11:00) |
| Geo-redirects | Does an Auckland visitor land on the NZ store, not the Australian one? |
| Legal notices | Consent banners under each country's data protection law |

## How do I set up a test browser?

Use a browser automation tool that accepts an authenticated proxy and lets you set time zone and locale. The [docs](https://banyanproxies.com/docs/) include a Playwright example that opens Chromium with a Sydney IP, the Australia/Sydney time zone and the en-AU locale. Swap the city segment and locale for each market.

## What about time zones inside one country?

Indonesia uses WIB (UTC+07:00) in Jakarta and WITA (UTC+08:00) in Denpasar and Makassar. Australia runs from AWST (UTC+08:00) in Perth to AEST (UTC+10:00) in Sydney, with daylight saving in some states only; Adelaide sits at UTC+09:30. Malaysia's Kota Kinabalu uses the Asia/Kuching zone, at the same UTC+08:00 as Kuala Lumpur. Test with the city's own zone.

## What should I read next?

Copy the Playwright example from the [docs](https://banyanproxies.com/docs/), keep one IP per test flow with [sticky sessions](https://banyanproxies.com/guides/sticky-sessions/), and check time zones per city on the [city index](https://banyanproxies.com/cities/). Other jobs are on the [use cases](https://banyanproxies.com/use-cases/) page.

## What else do buyers ask about geo-testing?

### Can I test a mobile app?

Yes, if the device or emulator can use an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy. Apps that require a mobile carrier IP may need a dedicated 4G/5G port, sold by zone on the [pricing page](https://banyanproxies.com/pricing/).

### How many GB does a test cycle use?

It depends on the app. Measure one full cycle on the 1 GB plan; Prepaid residential and rotating-mobile traffic never expires: unused GB stay on your account until you use them.

### Can each tester have separate credentials?

Yes: Sub-users with their own credentials and traffic cap, one per client or project.
