Quick Web Proxy¶
Quick Web Proxy enables anonymous and secure website browsing directly from within SEO Panel. It uses your own hosting server or configured external proxy servers as intermediaries, allowing you to access restricted content, test website accessibility from different locations, and maintain privacy while browsing.
The plugin menu provides the following sections:
- Web Proxy – Browse any URL anonymously through a selected proxy server
- Reports – View proxy usage logs (admin only)
- Settings – Configure proxy behaviour and user access (admin only)
Web Proxy¶
The Web Proxy section is the main browsing interface. Select a proxy server, enter a URL and click Proceed to load the page through the chosen proxy.
To browse via proxy:
- Select the Server from the dropdown — this lists all configured proxy servers plus the option to use your web hosting server directly
- Enter the target URL to load
- Click Proceed
The page loads inside the content area, routed through the selected proxy. This is useful for:
- Checking how a site appears from a different geographic location
- Bypassing IP blocks or geo-restrictions when crawling
- Testing website accessibility without exposing your real IP
Reports¶
The Reports section (admin only) shows a log of all web proxy requests made through the plugin, linking to the standard SEO Panel crawl log filtered by proxy activity.
Settings¶
Plugin Settings (admin only) controls access and server behaviour.
Available settings:
- Allow user to access the web proxy – When enabled, non-admin users can use the Web Proxy section
- Allow web server to act as a proxy – When enabled, your own hosting server is available as a proxy option in addition to any external proxies configured in SEO Panel’s Proxy Manager
To update settings, change the values and click Proceed.
Note
External proxy servers are managed in Admin Panel → Proxy Manager. Add your proxy servers there first, then they will appear in the Quick Web Proxy server dropdown.
