"Connected" but only can send text, can't send/receive pictures videos and documents

[MikeStick]

I m using VPS to create a whatsapp proxy server following the tutorial all no problem . now showing "Connected" on my whatsapp

but only can send text, can't send/receive pictures videos and documents. it will be a great help and convenient if this can be fixed.

Telegram Proxy works perfectly by using SOCKS 5 / HTTPS/ MTP Proto Proxy . Learn from each other not a bad thing.

We're presently rolling out the updated application which supports media proxying. There is an updated user-interface which and status on both chat + media connections for the proxy. It should be coming in the next couple of weeks to everyone.

Unfortunately it's a 2-phased update, we can publish the proxy (this github) which supports media, but there's also client changes (Android + iOS applications) necessary to also support proxying media traffic.

Thanks!

Finally, there is a clear explanation. Will the Windows client have a proxy function?

You mean the companion application? Unfortunately there are not (current) plans to add support to the companion apps (web/macOS/Windows/etc) at this time that I'm aware of. However I'll ask around.

Yes, only the mobile app has this feature right now, not the desktop app.

okay, thank you.

Thanks so much for your update ,we will be waiting for the big improvement if media problem solved. also I have found a way to avoid the server getting blocked by establishing a secondary tunnel to encrpt the data and protect the port for long time use ,this needs another server in local ,which will be extra expense but effective.

Hi @MikeStick! We have rolled out the media enabling feature to all users. After setting a media port (or leaving it as default), you should get feedback on the UI whether the proxy you are using supports media.

I tried it, but it still doesn’t work. It’s supported by the application. Doesn’t this repository support it?

[eozturk1]

Could you check the URL for the stats port the proxy you are using (<proxyAddress>:8199) to see if wa_whatsapp_net is listed there? If not, the proxy will need to be re-built from the latest changes on this repo and re-started to support media.

You will also need to enter the media port on your device that corresponds to the port(s) of haproxy_v4_whatsapp_net. These are 587 and 7777 in this repo's configuration but might be different for the proxy you are using.

您能否检查您正在使用的代理 ( ) 的统计端口的 URL，<proxyAddress>:8199看看是否wa_whatsapp_net已在其中列出？如果没有，则需要根据此存储库上的最新更改重新构建代理并重新启动以支持媒体。

您还需要输入设备上与 的端口相对应的媒体端口haproxy_v4_whatsapp_net。在此存储库的配置中，这些是 587 和 7777，但对于您正在使用的代理可能有所不同。

I tried pre-built images and images built from the repository, also tried default ports and custom ports, IPV4 and IPV6; but all can only proxy text, not media.

Waiting for other people's reports, I'm going to bed first.

Today just tried again , media still not work. I use Google cloud server (Debian 11 ) to create the whatsapp server exactly following the official tutorial. now showing "Connected" ;

Chat port Default no problem text can send , but the media port default not working , I tried 587 or 7777, both no work . I tried to update the Whatsapp APP to latest version also reboot my phone . tried many times , still no working

I checked the ports status on ping.pe . it shows all okay and the port is open all green .

Now I really don't know what to do next , until now I don't see anyone can successfully work both in text and media , just some youtuber making useless tutorial video to be freeloaders by using public whatsapp proxy IPs not consiering any risk , just want to wait someone else do the hard work and feed the food to his month.

@MikeStick,

1. From a computer on the same network as your phone, can you send a curl request to the media port of the proxy address as follows and share the output?

curl -k https://<proxy_address>:<media_port>

2. If your phone is connected to WiFi, can you try cellular as well?

When you say it shows "Connected", do you mean it is not showing "Media: unavailable"? If "Media: unavailable" is not shown, then media should work.

3. If you are still having trouble, can you please submit a report through the Help on the app and describe the issue you are having?

[MikeStick]

2. tried both WiFi and cellular

[eozturk1]

Looks like you do have an active media connection. ("WhatsApp Error" responses are expected when sending the curl request.) I am curious to see what the underlying issue is. Please make sure to submit a report!

When you say media is not working, do you mean while proxy enabled, you can't send media messages (e.g., a photo) that are delivered (one-tick)?

[eozturk1]

One other thing to check is whether the proxy still shows "Connected" as in the picture you shared after 15-30 seconds.

[MikeStick]

The first picture using WiFi , the second cellular , just show "Retry" and I retry , but still goes on like that and I just submitted a ticket to whatsapp help center ,hopefully the problem can be solved , if working , I will feedback here the way

[MikeStick]

Feedback from whatsapp offcial , they can't deal with it , so now we are back to the beginning, text works ,media no

[eozturk1]

Really appreciate the debugging information shared here @MikeStick ! Can you please try connecting to the proxy and sending media again, and submit a bug report after?

Thanks!

[Shanukuttoth]

Don't mail me more, please

Voice call and video call can use under proxy service. However, voice message, video message and other media message cannot be sent and received under proxy service. This is a big issue and MUST BE SOLVED asap.

Voice and video calls are currently not supported via proxies.

If you are using a proxy with media support -- i.e., the proxy page does not show "Media: unavailable", please create an issue on this repo regarding proxy set up issues, and file a bug report through WhatsApp help on the app.

[fungjigroup]

My wife in Mainland China uses one of the proxy server provided by https://whatsapp-proxy.com/ to connect to Whatsapp. She confirmed that voice call & video call CAN BE USED under proxy connection in Mainland China. However, voice messages, pictures & files cannot be sent & received under proxy connection.

I have the same issue My proxy works on my iOS devices very well and it can send media but it doesn't work on my android devices (it connects but it can't send media (I have tried to change ports to 587 and 7777 and it says connected for both media and chat but it only can send chats))

Hi, can I have the IP address of your proxy so that I can test if it works for me or not? Thanks!
