Pages Not Loading After Proxy Setup
Troubleshooting steps for when web pages are not loading after setting up a proxy.
If web pages fail to load or load slowly after setting up a proxy, this guide will help you identify and fix the issue.
Troubleshooting Steps
1. Check Proxy Server Status
Make sure your proxy is active and running on the Geonode Dashboard.
If it’s inactive or expired, your connection requests won’t go through.
2. Disable and Re-enable the Proxy
Sometimes, reapplying the configuration helps.
Go to your Wi-Fi or Network Settings, disable the proxy, save changes, and then enable it again.
3. Clear Browser Cache
Cached or outdated data can conflict with new proxy settings.
🧹 Clear your browser cache and cookies, then restart the browser or app.
4. Try a Different Network
Some Wi-Fi networks — especially in offices or public places — block proxy connections via firewalls.
✅ Test your proxy setup using a different Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot.
5. Test the Proxy
Visit ShowMyIP or ip-api.com to confirm whether your proxy is active and your IP address has changed.
