Squid Proxy not working with WhatsApp (not trasparent mode)

[Michele Trotta]

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 ?

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.

I hope it will be useful to someone

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