As a freelancer I offend come in offices where the network blocks the web whatsapp page and I am trying to setup my own private reverse proxy for those situations. So far I have been able to reverse proxy the https page but I am having some trouble with the websocket connection that is embedded in the site. In my Google Chrome browser I am getting a ‘HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden’ for wss://web.whatsapp.com/ws.I have searched and read a couple of hits on it from google but still can’t get it working.
Some environment information (for security reasons i masked my domainname en certificate serial):
Apache version 2.4.39
