You might be surprised to find out the flight tickets you just bought were much cheaper in a different country. The marketing industry calls this Geo-IP pricing discrimination and it happens more often than you think.

When you enter a website, your device communicates with a server revealing your IP address. At first, that IP looks just like a random number, but it includes country, city, and heck, even district information.

Companies like Google (especially Analytics) then map your Geo-IP, allowing marketers to estimate your spending value and shopping habits while you browse the Internet. That leads to price surges on things you buy: the higher your country ranks on the GDP list, the higher the prices.

So what can you do about it? Get tigerVPN’s privacy & geo-location app for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android and pick any of the 63 locations in over 43 countries on all continents.

You can score much better prices when purchasing “abroad,” and on top of the immediate benefits of changing geo-locations and hopping restriction fences while traveling, your entire communication is encrypted and secure — so take that, NSA!
