How to Access Dongle Panel via Proxy

Each dongle (HiLink / XH22 / Huawei E3372) ships with its own web panel for signal info, manual rotation, and SMS. Here's how to reach it through XProxy.

Why access the dongle panel

  • Check signal strength (RSSI / RSRP) and carrier band.
  • Read or send SMS — useful for SIM activation and OTP.
  • Manually toggle airplane mode to force a clean IP rotation.
  • Update the dongle firmware.

Default dongle addresses

  • Huawei E3372 HiLink: 192.168.8.1
  • XProxy XH22: 192.168.9.1
  • ZTE MF833: 192.168.0.1
These IPs live on the dongle's private USB network — they are NOT reachable from your LAN directly. You must tunnel through the XProxy proxy of that specific dongle.

Method 1 — Browser via SOCKS5 proxy

You can configure a SOCKS5 proxy directly in your browser settings (such as Firefox) or use a proxy management extension like FoxyProxy.

  1. Identify the proxy IP, port, and label in the Proxy Management page of your XProxy dashboard:

    XProxy Proxy Management Column
    Find the proxy address (IP:port) and its corresponding Label
  2. Open your proxy extension or browser network settings (e.g. FoxyProxy) and options:

    Open FoxyProxy Options
    Access FoxyProxy Options from your browser toolbar
  3. Fill in the proxy settings using the copied IP and port, and select SOCKS5:

    FoxyProxy SOCKS5 settings
    Configure SOCKS5 settings in FoxyProxy (make sure SOCKS5 is checked)

Method 2 — curl one-liner

bash
curl -x socks5h://USER:PASS@<xproxy-ip>:5001 \
  http://192.168.8.1/api/device/information

Method 3 — XProxy built-in panel proxy

From XProxy dashboard → Dongles → click a dongle → Open Panel. We auto-tunnel the dongle's web UI through your browser session — no proxy configuration required.

Never expose the dongle panel directly to the public Internet. Always tunnel via the dongle's SOCKS5 port, which is authenticated.

Dongle panel URL pattern

XProxy uses a label system where each dongle's panel is accessible at http://192.168.<label>.1.

  • Dongle with label 11 → panel at http://192.168.11.1
  • Dongle with label 12 → panel at http://192.168.12.1

To find a dongle's label: open Proxy Management in the XProxy panel and look at the Label column next to the proxy address.

Once the proxy is active, open the URL matching the label of the dongle you want to access:

Default login credentials for XProxy dongles: admin / admin

Configure APN (optional)

If you need to enable IPv6 or use a custom carrier APN, configure it from the dongle panel:

  1. Go to Internet → Disable Auto Configure APN → click Save.

    Disable Auto APN
    Disable Auto Configure APN and save changes
  2. Click Manual APN Settings and fill in: APN Name (same for 2G/3G and LTE), IP Type: IPV4V6 for dual-stack proxies, Authentication Type: PAP/CHAP (depends on your carrier), and click OKSave.

    Manual APN configuration
    Fill manual APN settings, choose IPV4V6 if needed, and save

Disable SIM PIN (if required)

If your SIM card has a PIN lock, disable it from the dongle panel to prevent the dongle from getting stuck after a reboot: Security → SIM PIN → Enter your PIN → Remove PIN.
