How to Release Sticky Sessions
Learn how to release sticky sessions in Geonode to refresh your proxy connection and free up resources.
This guide explains how to release sticky sessions in Geonode to refresh your proxy connection, switch to a new IP, or free up resources.
Why Release a Sticky Session
Releasing a sticky session ends your current connection and starts a new one.
This helps when you need to:
- Switch to a different proxy IP.
- Free up resources such as ports or threads.
- Improve security by refreshing your active session.
How to Release Selected Sticky Sessions
Follow these steps to release specific sticky sessions from your Geonode Dashboard.
Step 1: Select the Sessions to Release
- Go to the Active Sticky Sessions section in your Geonode Dashboard.
- Select the sessions you want to release — you can select multiple at once.
Step 2: Release Selected Sessions
- After selecting sessions, click Release Selected.
- Confirm by clicking Release Sessions.
- A success notification will appear once the sessions are released.
How to Release All Sticky Sessions
To disconnect all active sessions at once:
- Click Release All Sessions in the Dashboard.
- Confirm by selecting Release All.
- All active connections will be immediately terminated.
Best Practices
- If a sticky session shows slow performance or fails to connect, release it to get a new IP. - Use Release Selected for specific sessions and Release All for bulk actions. - Refresh sticky sessions periodically to maintain security and performance.
