Squid Proxy not working with WhatsApp (transparent and npn-transparent)

Nachtfalke

Hi,

had successfully configured my pfsense at home with squid. I tried with transparent and non-transparent proxy configuration to get my Smartphones (Android) to use the proxy.
Unfortunately I had problems with some apps I had to add to the "proxy-bypass". But until now I did not get it working for Whatsapp. It looks like whatsapp is communicating with o many cloud services on different URLs and so on so that it is not easy (for me) to get this bypassing the proxy.

So has someone else successfully configured squid to bypass the proxy only for Whatsapp so that it will work for messages, uploads and audio?
The complete thing should be possible without any additional software on the phone and without to have root access to the phones.

Kind regards!

With none transperrent proxy or wpad Android will only use the proxy for its web browsers not apps unless the apps have proxy settings or you root your device.

What proxy did you use? You can try something about this: http://advanced.name for whatsup messenger. I use it pretty long time, and have no issues.

I don't think you understood what I meant.
