How to Use Rotating Proxies with Geonode
This guide will walk you through Rotating Proxies of Geonode.
Rotating proxies are a powerful feature that allows you to automatically rotate your IP addresses with every request.
➡️ Follow this guide to learn Rotating Proxies in-depth: What is Rotating Proxies?
Geonode provides rotating proxies via HTTP and SOCKS5 protocols, with the following ports:
Each time you make a request, the system will assign you a new IP address from a different location, making it difficult for websites to track or block your activity.
To use rotating proxies with the Geonode API, follow these steps:
In the Geonode interface, you will first need to configure your proxy settings. Select the desired location, protocol (HTTP/HTTPS or SOCKS5), and session type (Rotating). You can target specific countries, cities, or even ASN/ISP.
Here is an example of how your configuration might look:
Once you’ve configured your proxy settings, you will be able to generate proxy endpoints. The format of the endpoints typically looks like this:
Each endpoint will provide the IP address, port, and credentials (username and password) required for authentication.
When you want to make API calls using rotating proxies, you simply use the generated proxy endpoints in your API requests. You will be assigned a new IP with every request, depending on your configuration.
Here is a sample code snippet using Python and the requests
library to make an API request with rotating proxies:
In this example, each request will use a different IP address from the proxy pool.
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.

To ensure the proxy is working, check your IP address using an online tool or follow this guide:
If you encounter any issues, refer to the troubleshooting section or Geonode support.
Can I switch between multiple proxies
Yes, you can add multiple proxies and switch between them by selecting the desired proxy from the list and clicking Connect.
Why should I use rotating proxies?
What is the difference between HTTP and SOCKS5 rotating proxies?
Can I specify a country or region for rotating proxies?
Yes, you can configure your rotating proxies to target specific countries, cities, or even ISPs, providing you with regional IPs for content access or geo-specific tasks.
What happens if a rotating proxy gets blocked?
If a rotating proxy gets blocked, Geonode will automatically assign a new IP address from the proxy pool for your next request, ensuring you continue your tasks without disruption.
Can I use rotating proxies for web scraping?
Yes, rotating proxies are perfect for web scraping as they allow you to make multiple requests without getting blocked by websites, ensuring your scraping activities remain seamless.
How do I monitor my rotating proxy usage?
You can track your rotating proxy usage and monitor performance through the Geonode Dashboard, where you can see statistics such as successful requests and errors.
Are rotating proxies better than using a single static proxy?
Yes, rotating proxies provide better anonymity and bypass blocks more effectively since each request uses a different IP address. Static proxies can be easily detected and blocked, whereas rotating proxies make it harder for websites to track and block you.
