      Hi,
      hi, i have configured my squid 4.13 on pfsense with CA and everything works smoothly.

      Now, for work needs, I have to open the "whatsapp web" site.

      I created an ACl where I entered the sites we.whatsapp.com and web.whatsapp.net.

      The ACL is enabled but if I try to open the site https://web.whatsapp.com/ the QRCODE is not displayed for the following reason "bootstrap_qr.99f4f9824125bfd8df54.js: 55 WebSocket connection to 'wss: //web.whatsapp.com / ws' failed ..... "

      Can you help me ?whatsapp_qrcode.png

      Thank you in advance
      Michele

        Hello ,

        I hope I have solved!

        In Package -> Proxy Server: -> Access Cons -> ACLs go to the whitelist box and enter whatsapp as shown in the image.

          @Michele-trotta I'm not using transparent mode, but to make WhatsApp work, I had to whitelist whatsapp.net and whatsapp.com.
