What to enter in the WhatsApp proxy address field

The literal answer first. The setting lives at Settings → Storage and Data → Proxy → Set up Proxy. Proxy host takes the server’s IP or domain name. Below it are two port fields that confuse everyone: the chat port carries your text messages (default 443 — if you enter only a host, the app connects there and expects TLS), while the media port carries the heavy payload — photos, videos, voice notes — on port 587 by default. Splitting the two lets a relay manage bulk media traffic separately from time-sensitive chat packets. One official limitation to know up front: calls don’t route through this in-app setting at all, per WhatsApp’s own documentation.

Now the part most proxy sellers leave out. That field was built for one specific thing: relay servers running WhatsApp’s own proxy software — the volunteer nodes people publish during national internet shutdowns, forwarding raw traffic to WhatsApp’s servers. It has no username or password fields, and the app never performs a SOCKS or HTTP handshake. Type a standard commercial proxy in there and you’ll get “Connection failed” — not because the proxy is broken, but because the app is speaking a different language to it. We’d rather you learn that here than after paying for the wrong product.

A dedicated proxy serves WhatsApp one level down, and it works better there anyway. Route the device — a SOCKS5 client app on Android or iOS, Proxifier on Windows or macOS — and everything the messenger sends rides your exclusive IP: chats, media, and with a UDP-enabled plan, voice traffic too, since calls travel over UDP. Our whitelist authentication fits this setup like it was designed for it: the proxy recognizes your device by source address, so tools with no credential fields work without workarounds. Enter the same address on your phone’s client and your desktop’s, and both ends of your account live on one IP.

The proxy goes into the tunnel app on your phone or Proxifier on your computer — host, port, and credentials, or just host and port with the whitelist. Copy the example for your stack, or paste it into your AI coding assistant to adapt.

# HTTP or HTTPS proxy
curl -x http://login:password@IP:port https://example.com

# SOCKS5
curl --socks5-hostname IP:port \
  --proxy-user login:password \
  https://example.com

import requests

proxy = "http://login:password@IP:port"  # your proxy from the Dashboard

r = requests.get(
    "https://example.com",
    proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy},
)
print(r.status_code)

import { ProxyAgent } from "undici";

const dispatcher = new ProxyAgent("http://login:password@IP:port");
const res = await fetch("https://example.com", { dispatcher });
console.log(res.status);

$ch = curl_init("https://example.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "IP:port");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "login:password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);

Fill in the credentials from your Dashboard. If you use IP whitelisting, you don't need a username or password.

I use proxies for online games. I have been using the service for many months and I am satisfied with the quality and efficiency. Proxies work as they should and there are practically no disconnects. I recommend it, you will not regret it!

FD Felix Drechsler July 2025

Like the service! Responsive and fast support, affordable prices, convenient renewal panel and network selection. Just what I need!

KV Kornev Vitalii February 2026

If you need to buy proxies at an affordable price, this is the best choice. I became a client of the service half a year ago. The cost is adequate, technical support always tries to help, and most importantly, you can use proxies without a password and login!

JR Jack rony December 2024

I used the service for social networking. At first I bought it for a month, but now I will definitely renew it because the quality is really good! I am very glad that I finally found a really cool service!

Frequently asked questions

Will this unblock my banned WhatsApp account?

No. A ban lives on your account — the phone number WhatsApp suspended — and no network change reaches it. Connect through any proxy in the world and you’ll see the same “this account is not allowed to use WhatsApp” screen, because the block is enforced when you authenticate, not when you connect. The only path back is WhatsApp’s in-app review request or their support email, argued on the merits. We say this bluntly because it’s the single most common reason people land on this page, and a proxy purchased for unbanning is money wasted. What a proxy is for: keeping WhatsApp reachable when a network stands between you and it.

Do you provide numbers for WhatsApp registration?

No — we sell IP addresses, not phone numbers, virtual or otherwise. WhatsApp identity is anchored to a number that can receive its verification code, and that’s a product we don’t offer and can’t vouch for. Worth knowing before you shop elsewhere: accounts registered on rented virtual numbers are the first to be swept in WhatsApp’s anti-abuse purges, and the number’s next renter can potentially claim the account. If your project needs many legitimate business identities, the supported route is the WhatsApp Business Platform with its own verification — not a stack of gray-market SIMs.

Which ports does the proxy support?

All protocols run in parallel on every address; you pick by port. For WhatsApp the one that matters is SOCKS5 — 1080 with username/password, 1085 with whitelist authentication — because a WhatsApp proxy for calls and media has to carry UDP as well as TCP, and SOCKS5 is the protocol that can (voice needs the UDP add-on, 50% of the base plan). HTTP is on 8080/8085 and HTTPS on 8443/8444 if your tunnel app prefers them for chat-only routing. Don’t confuse these with the 443/587 defaults in WhatsApp’s own proxy screen — those belong to relay servers running WhatsApp’s software, a different mechanism this page’s definition section walks through.

Does this work with WhatsApp Business?

Yes, in two different senses worth separating. The WhatsApp Business app behaves exactly like the consumer app: route the device through your dedicated address and the account rides it — useful when a storefront’s account should keep one consistent network identity, or when the same team manages several regional profiles on separate IPs. The WhatsApp Business Platform (the API for bulk messaging) is server-side: your integration talks HTTPS to Meta’s endpoints, and proxies for WhatsApp Business in that setup are an ordinary outbound-routing question — point your HTTP client at the proxy when your servers sit in a network Meta’s endpoints treat poorly, or when infrastructure policy requires a fixed egress IP. What neither sense includes: proxies don’t raise messaging limits or improve quality ratings — those are scored on recipient behavior, not your network.
