To help address the issue when the Internet is Blocked or disrupted, WhatsApp is now offering proxy support for WhatsApp users worldwide. This means that people can maintain access to WhatsApp even if their connection is blocked or disrupted.
By using a proxy, you can connect to WhatsApp through servers set up by volunteers and organizations around the world who are committed to helping people communicate freely. If you have the ability to help others connect, you can learn how to set up a proxy here.
Connecting via proxy maintains the high level of privacy and security that WhatsApp provides. Your personal messages will still be protected by end-to-end encryption, ensuring that they remain private between you and the person you are communicating with and are not visible to anyone else, including proxy servers, WhatsApp, or Meta.
In 2023, WhatsApp hopes to see an end to internet shutdowns. This solution will help people who need secure and reliable communication.
This option is now available in the settings menu for everyone using the latest version of WhatsApp. For more information on how to use this feature, click here.
