How to create WhatsApp proxy

All that is required is ports 80, 443 or 5222 on the server and an available domain name (or subdomain) that points to your IP address.

WhatsApp is asking its users to discreetly share proxy addresses with those who cannot connect directly to the platform.
In particular, using a WhatsApp does not affect the security and privacy offered by the Meta. End-to-end encrypted messages, calls and video calls are ensured by the secure connections made. All your data will remain between those you communicate with – it will not appear either on WhatsApp or on the meta/proxy servers! Keep in mind though: using a third-party proxy means you share IP with them, as it is not provided directly by Whatsapp.
