WebLog Expert from behind reverse proxy

Hello, I run the built in webserver in WebLog expert, and it sits behind a reverse proxy... I do this for many sites, but WebLog Expert seems to freeze with the "Loading" screen whenever i try to make a selection on the left menu. Any ideas?

You can install IIS for free in any version of Windows, it is just necessary to add the IIS feature. IIS is more powerful and stable than the built-in server, so it may solve the problem, and this is the solution we recommend for most problems with the built-in web server.

However, it should be possible to fix the issue with the built-in server too. It seems that the browser cannot get some data from the server. It could be also a firewall or antivirus problem. You can check what URL cannot be accessed and what error you get by checking the developer tools that are accessible in most browsers by pressing F12. E.g. in Chrome you can press F12, click the Console tab in the shown panel and view all the errors (if any). This can help you to identify the firewall problem.

BTW does the same error occurs if you view the reports from the same computer where the program is installed without using the proxy?
