  • You should see the media endpoint on the statistics page (See https://github.com/WhatsApp/proxy#check-your-connection for how to reach that page).
  • Your WhatsApp proxy page should display "Connected" and it should NOT show "Media: unavailable".
  • Your Internet provider may be filtering your packets based on ports. The default port for media is 587 and changing it might help. For this, you will need to update the HaProxy configuration to bind to a different port and update the media port settings on your phone.

Can I have the WhatsApp proxy IP address you are using?

I am from Hong Kong. Would you mind if you can provide the IP address for us to test as well? My wife is in Mainland China. I want to test if the WhatsApp proxy IP address can be used in Mainland China or not. Thanks!

Hello, I try to ping Anpr.optasia.com.sg on my computer and it replies but it cannot connect to the WhatsApp proxy in WhatsApp.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Best Regards,

WhatsApp proxy hasn't been updated for a long time and is outdated.
When using curl to connect to port 587, WhatsApp's certificate is displayed, which seems relevant to your issue.
According to your description, the session is using a self-signed certificate, while the media part is using WhatsApp's certificate.

Could you please clarify if I'm supposed to host a separate ip:port for media? The thing is I'm forwarding it through free version Ngrok and I can't use two ports simultaniously

I'm having the same issue. This is what I get with curl on port 443:

* Server certificate:
*  subject: CN=1iCBLvVF330N.net
*  start date: Aug 14 03:42:48 2024 GMT
*  expire date: Aug 12 03:42:48 2034 GMT
*  issuer: CN=gYSkf3n0Uxybzdlam

This is what I get with curl on port 587:

* Server certificate:
*  subject: C=US; ST=California; L=Menlo Park; O=Meta Platforms, Inc.; CN=*.whatsapp.net
*  start date: Jun 20 00:00:00 2024 GMT
*  expire date: Sep 18 23:59:59 2024 GMT
*  issuer: C=US; O=DigiCert Inc; OU=www.digicert.com; CN=DigiCert SHA2 High Assurance Server CA

I'm guessing that at least in China, packets are scanned and HTTPS connections with certificates with CN=*.whatsapp.net are denied.

I tried to use a HTTPS reverse proxy to override the certificate, and curl seems to be able to get all the info. However, WhatsApp couldn't connect to the port for media.
