Technical Troubleshooting

  1. Q: I can't login to the toolbar with my credentials.
    A: Make sure you type the email and password provided during registration correctly. You can always update your password from your account and create a new one in case you wish to change it.
  2. Q: I keep on getting a pop-up message saying "requesting a username and password" when I switch between countries.
    A: Browsers store certain pages and old passwords in their cache which sometimes prevents from the toolbar to authenticate to the service. In order to eliminate it follow these steps:
    1. Log out from the GeoSurf toolbar using the "Logout" button located on the right side of the toolbar.
    2. Clean all cookies and browser cache (from "Options" menu).
    3. Close all browser windows.
    4. Re-open the browser and login to the toolbar.
  3. Q: When choosing a country and clicking "apply" I am getting "connection interrupted" message.
    A: Sometimes when using GeoSurf from inside corporate offices internal networking configurations such as firewall or transparent proxy settings are blocking the service availability. If you encounter such a problem please contact us and we will help you solve it in no time.
  4. Q: I get "Access denied" message when I try to access internal systems such as mail or CRM.
    A: For security reasons it is prohibited to access internal or local systems while GeoSurf is active. Turning GeoSurf "off" will restore the local connection and enable back the access to the local systems. If you wish to define a bypass rule for this restriction in your browser contact us for further information.
