Rotating Proxies

This guide walks you through how to use Rotating Proxies in Geonode.

What Are Rotating Proxies

Rotating proxies automatically change your IP address with every request.
This feature helps maintain anonymity, prevent detection, and ensure smoother automation.

Geonode's Rotating Proxies Range

Geonode provides rotating proxies via HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols, with the following ports:

• HTTP: 9000–9010
• SOCKS5: 11000–11010

Each request you send will use a new IP address from a different location, helping to avoid IP-based blocking.

How to Use Rotating Proxies with the Geonode API

Step 1: Configure Your Proxy Settings

In your Geonode dashboard:

1. Open Proxy Configuration.
2. Select:
   • IP Type: Residential
   • Gateway: France (or your preferred location)
   • Protocol: HTTP/HTTPS or SOCKS5
   • Session Type: Rotating

Example configuration:

Step 2: Generate Proxy Endpoints

Once configured, generate your proxy endpoints.
They will typically look like this:

92.204.164.15:9000:geonode_demouser-type-residential:demopass

Each endpoint includes your IP, port, and authentication credentials (username and password).

Step 3: Make API Calls Using Rotating Proxies

Here’s a Python example using the requests library:

import requests

username = "geonode_demouser-type-residential"
password = "demopass"
GEONODE_DNS = "92.204.164.15:9000"
url = "http://ip-api.com"

proxy = {
    "http": f"http://{username}:{password}@{GEONODE_DNS}"
}

response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxy)
print("Response:\n", response.text)

Each request will use a different IP address from Geonode’s proxy pool.

Monitor Proxy Usage

Geonode also provides monitoring tools to track the usage of your proxies. You can check for errors, usage statistics, and ensure that the proxies are working as expected.
