# May 2025

***

After months of hard work, we're thrilled to introduce our updated dashboard! This is a major release designed to simplify your experience and give you more powerful tools at your fingertips. Here's an overview of the exciting updates and features we've been working on:

### **New Website & Branding**

The new Geonode website and branding mark a major milestone in our journey. This redesign reflects our maturity, growth, and evolution since launch. It brings a modern, developer-focused visual identity and a smoother user experience across the board.

### **Proxy Infrastructure 2.0**

We've released Proxy Infrastructure 2.0, a complete rebuild of our entire proxy network. The result: dramatically faster performance and greater reliability across the board. Latency has been significantly reduced, and our global success rate now exceeds 99%. SOCKS5 users in particular will notice a major boost in connection speed and stability thanks to a fully upgraded backend. We've also expanded our IP pool, especially in high-demand regions like the United States, giving users access to more fresh, high-quality IPs than ever before.

### **Upgraded SOCKS5 Infrastructure**

Our SOCKS5 infrastructure has been completely rebuilt to offer dramatically improved speed and stability. This upgrade results in more reliable connections and a smoother experience for SOCKS5 users.

### **New Pricing Plans**

We've introduced new pricing plans to suit a wider range of use cases:

* **Starter** – `$50/month at $1 per GB` (50GB included)
* **Growth** – `$200/month at $0.75 per GB` (267GB included)
* **Business** – `$500/month at $0.50 per GB` (1000GB included)

### **1TB Free Trial in Dashboard**

Qualified business users can now apply for the 1TB free trial directly from within the dashboard. No sales call required — just a streamlined experience that gets you testing at scale in minutes.

### **User-Friendly Billing & Subscription Grace Period**

Our new user-friendly billing and subscription grace period gives you more flexibility. If a payment fails, your subscription no longer cancels immediately — you now have 5 days to resolve the issue. If you cancel a subscription, you can reactivate it before the end of the billing period. And if a subscription finishes, you still have a 5-day window to restore it and retain your unused bandwidth.

### **Improved Usage Graphs**

Usage graphs have been significantly improved. You can now view bandwidth stats by hour, day, week, or month — and look back up to 31 days. These enhancements make it easier to monitor trends and optimize usage.

### **Service Error Code Improvements in Usability**

We've made big improvements to how our service handles errors. Messages are now clearer, and we've simplified the list of error codes so they're more actionable and easier to work with. [See the updated error handling guide](https://docs.geonode.com/api-reference/error-handling).

### **Launch of the Geonode SDK Program**

We've officially launched the Geonode SDK program, helping developers monetize their apps across iOS, Android, desktop, smart TVs, and more. [Learn more and apply to join](https://geonode.com/sdk).

### **Expanded Event-Based Email Notifications**

We've expanded our event-based email notifications. You'll now receive timely, clear updates for purchases, upgrades, downgrades, usage warnings, trial info, billing issues, and more — so you're always in the loop.
