Set up a Geonix proxy

Before you buy #

Geonix sells dedicated proxies that only you use. They are TCP only, so they work for Java accounts. A Bedrock account needs a SOCKS5 proxy with UDP support, such as the shared proxies in Set up Decodo shared proxies.

Buy the proxy #

1. Open Geonix

   Go to Geonix and open the proxy order page.

2. Pick IPv4 or ISP

   IPv4 proxies are datacenter IPs, fine for servers that allow them. ISP proxies are home internet IPs, for servers that block VPNs.

3. Pick a country

   Pick the one closest to the Minecraft server, see Choose a location. For servers in the US, Canadian proxies are usually more stable.

   

4. Fill in the order

   Set Purpose of use to Online games, Specify service to Minecraft and Authorization method to user+pass. How many proxies you need depends on your accounts and the server’s rules; some servers allow only one account per proxy.

5. Use the discount code

   Enter CONSOLE25 for 25% off as the promo code, then pay.

   

Add it to Console Client #

1. Copy the proxy details

   In the Geonix dashboard, copy the IP, port, username and password. Use port 59101, the SOCKS5 port, not the HTTPS one.

2. Add it under Your own proxies

   Open Proxies, keep the type on SOCKS5, enter the IP and port and the username and password (a dedicated proxy needs them), then click Add Proxy.

   

3. Choose it on your account

   Select the proxy when you add an account, or disconnect an account and change its proxy. See Add your own proxies.

Choose a location #

Every connection makes three hops, and the closer they are to each other, the lower your ping:

Console Client node → Proxy → Minecraft server

For a server in Europe, run the account on a node in Europe and use a proxy in Europe. The node locations are on the status page.
