What is a Proxy Gateway?
A proxy gateway is a server that routes your internet traffic through a specific location. It helps you control your proxy connection by selecting an entry point for your requests.
Geonode offers multiple gateway locations to help users access geo-restricted content, improve speed, and maintain anonymity.
