Has anyone ever successfully done a survey while you are travelling overseas (outside US) ?

Last month I went to Hong Kong to see families, then a personal trip to Singapore, all the surveys I tried to open when I was in those cities said it is either expired or reach capacity.

Is it they have some tracking device and recognize my computer wasn't in used in the US to complete the survey ?

I was quite upset that I missed several of those about smoking and cigarettes surveys, which I know I would be able to finish those surveys and get full credit, as not many cigarette smokers nowadays.
