Step 4 — Enter Proxy Details

  1. Under Manual Proxy Configuration, fill in:
    • Server: Proxy IP address
    • Port: Port number from your Geonode Dashboard
  2. If authentication is required, enable Authentication and enter your username and password.

Enter Proxy Details

  1. Tap Save to apply the settings.

Once the proxy server is set up, some apps (like Chrome or other system programs) may ask for proxy authentication — your proxy username and password.
This is required to continue using the proxies.

If you prefer not to enter credentials manually, you can whitelist your IP instead.
