New Sticky Session

This guide explains how to create a new sticky session with Geonode.

What Are Sticky Proxies

Sticky proxies allow you to keep the same IP address for a set duration, making them ideal for activities that require stable connections — such as managing social media accounts, scraping sites with login sessions, or performing long-running data collection.

➡️ See the detailed explanation here: What Are Sticky Session Proxies

Geonode's Sticky Proxy Ports

Geonode assigns specific port ranges for sticky sessions to maintain consistent IPs over time:

• HTTP: 10000–10900
• SOCKS5: 12000–12010

How to Create a Sticky Session via the Geonode API

Before creating a session, configure your proxy settings in the Geonode dashboard.

Step 1: Configure Your Proxy Settings

1. Log in to the Geonode Dashboard.
2. Open the Proxies section from the sidebar.
3. Select Sticky as your session type.
4. Set the session duration:
   • Minimum: 3 minutes
   • Maximum: 24 hours (1440 minutes)
5. Leave other fields as default unless you have specific preferences.

Example configuration:

• IP Type: Residential
• Gateway: France
• Port Range: HTTP 10000–10900
• Session Type: Sticky Session

Once configured, copy your proxy endpoint, which looks like this:

92.204.164.15:10000:geonode_demouser-type-residential-lifetime-3-RAOnwR

Where:

• IP → 92.204.164.15
• Port → 10000
• Username → geonode_demouser-type-residential-lifetime-3-RAOnwR
• Password → demopass

Step 2: Create a Sticky Session via API

To start a sticky session through the API, make a request to the <ip>:<port> endpoint using your configured username and password.

Example using cURL:

curl -x 92.204.164.15:10000 \
  --user "geonode_demouser-type-residential-lifetime-3-RAOnwR:demopass" \
  --url "http://ip-api.com/json" \
  --header "Accept: application/json"
