In v4.1, Nx server can proxy camera web page so that a remote user that connects to Nx server via NxCloud or IP address can access to web page of cameras that are in a LAN environment. 

It'd be cool and helpful if Nx server can also proxy web applications/web pages that are embedded to Nx server resource panel.

  Hi, Jason Lee
  Thanks for the feedback!
  
  We've got this request several times
  https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360049356573-access-to-local-network-switches-through-built-in-web-browser
  https://support.networkoptix.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360048927334-Embedded-webpage-via-NX-Cloud

  We've discussed it internally, but we faced some security and technical concerns, so the feature was postponed.
  
  So while we think this is a great feature to have, we are still not sure if it is possible to implement it so it will be stable and secure (and how much efforts it will require)
  
  So this not smth that I would expect in 4.2, but we will refine this once again in an upcoming release.

  I'm happy to say that things are moving fast. Since we get this request a lot after implementing a camera webpage, we decided to prioritize this feature. And after some brainstorming 🧠 with our product team, we've found a simple solution that will be both secure and easy to implement. It will need thorough testing, but we hope we will be able to include this in in an upcoming release.

  Hi all, currently using an external HTTP proxy to provide access to a third party dashboard within NX but this is painful. Just wondering if there's somewhere we can track progress on this feature update and which beta versions we can test with?

  Most likely you will be able to test it in 4.3 beta, but there is no solid ETA for it. 4.2 won't have this feature, unfortunately
