      «If you are unable to connect directly to WhatsApp, a proxy can be used as a gateway between you and our servers. To help yourself or others re-establish connection to WhatsApp, you can set up a proxy server»

      Comment: I think this app can be useful in countries where governments applies restrictions to WhatsApp use.

        It might be worth pursuing this with the privacy-redirect project:

          @p44 out of curiosity, wouldn't using a different app like Signal bypass this issue?

            @humptydumpty It depends on target users, actually WhatsApp is most used platform... There are some countries eg. UAE that blocks all voice and video traffic...
