Port Configuration
Learn how to configure ports in the Geonode dashboard.
The Port Configuration section in your Geonode dashboard lets you set up and manage proxy ports with precise geo-targeting and connection options.
Step 1 — Open the Port Configuration page
- Log in to your Geonode dashboard.
- Select Port Configuration from the top navigation bar.
You’ll see configuration options on the right and a list of added locations in the center.
Step 2 — Configure your port settings
1. Country targeting (required)
- Open the Countries dropdown.
- Select the country you want to target — this field is required for geo-targeting.
2. State targeting (optional)
- Once a country is selected, the States dropdown becomes active.
- Choose a specific state if needed.
3. City targeting (optional)
- After choosing a state, the Cities dropdown will be enabled.
- Select a city for more precise targeting.
4. Protocol selection
- Click the HTTP/HTTPS dropdown.
- Choose a protocol:

5. Session type
- Select a session mode:
- Rotating — IP changes periodically (best for scraping/automation).

→ Understanding Session Type for Proxy Configuration
6. Port selection (required)

Step 3 — Add the configuration

After saving, all configured ports and locations appear in the list.
You can view, edit, or delete configurations at any time.

Troubleshooting
- Add button disabled: make sure Country and Port are selected.
