An official WhatsApp proxy implementation that lets users host their own proxy infrastructure to connect to WhatsApp for chat messaging. It ships as a Docker container that acts as a gateway between clients and WhatsApp servers when direct connections are unavailable.
Use cases
- host my own WhatsApp proxy server
- connect to WhatsApp when the internet is restricted
- help others reconnect to WhatsApp via a proxy
- deploy a WhatsApp proxy with docker compose
- set up a gateway to WhatsApp servers
- run whatsapp proxy in docker
When to choose
- you need to restore WhatsApp chat connectivity during network blocks or shutdowns
- you want a self-hosted, official proxy deployment via Docker
- you want to share a proxy endpoint so others can reconnect to WhatsApp
When to avoid
- you need VoIP calls through the proxy, which is not supported
- you need a general-purpose SOCKS/HTTP proxy rather than a WhatsApp-specific gateway
- you cannot run Docker or a persistent server
