You can verify your proxy connection using two methods:

  • Using an online tool
  • Using the command line (cURL)

Method 1: Using an Online Tool

Step 1: Check Your Current IP Address

Before enabling your proxy, check your current IP address:

  1. Go to IP API.
  2. Note down your IP address for reference.

Step 2: Connect to Your Proxy

Set up and configure your proxy based on your device or browser. Follow these setup guides based on your platform:

Step 3: Verify Your New IP Address

After connecting to your proxy:

  1. Go to IP API.

  2. Check if the displayed IP matches the proxy location you configured.

  3. If the IP has changed, your proxy is working correctly.


Method 2: Using the Command Line (cURL)

To verify your proxy connection via the command line, use the following command:

curl -x proxy.geonode.io:9000 http://ip-api.com

If your proxy is working, the response should show a new IP address instead of your original one.


If you encounter any issues, refer to the troubleshooting section or Geonode support.
