Overview
The "Set Proxy" operation in the ZuckZapGo Session node allows users to configure proxy settings for WhatsApp session connections. This is useful when you want to route WhatsApp traffic through a proxy server, which can help with network restrictions, privacy, or routing requirements.
Typical scenarios include:
- Using a SOCKS5 or HTTP proxy to connect to WhatsApp servers from restricted networks.
- Enhancing security by routing traffic through a trusted proxy.
- Troubleshooting connectivity issues by changing proxy configurations.
For example, a user might enable the proxy and provide a URL like socks5://user:pass@host:port to route all WhatsApp session traffic through that proxy.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Proxy Configuration | Collection of proxy settings including: |
| - Enable Proxy | Boolean flag to enable or disable the proxy usage. |
| - Proxy URL | The proxy server URL in the format protocol://[user:pass@]host:port. Examples: |
- socks5://user:pass@host:port |
|
- http://host:port |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the WhatsApp session API after setting the proxy configuration. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes status information about the proxy setup.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the WhatsApp session management API via an authenticated credential (an API key or token).
- The node uses an internal helper function to make HTTP requests to endpoints such as
/session/proxy. - No additional external dependencies are required beyond the configured API credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Proxy Not Applied / Connection Fails: Ensure the proxy URL is correctly formatted and accessible from the environment where n8n runs.
- Invalid Proxy URL Format: The proxy URL must follow the pattern
protocol://[user:pass@]host:port. Missing parts or typos will cause errors. - API Errors: If the underlying API returns an error, check the API credentials and network connectivity.
- Enable Proxy Flag: Make sure the "Enable Proxy" boolean is set to true; otherwise, the proxy settings will not be applied.
Common error messages may relate to invalid parameters or failed connections to the proxy server. Verify proxy details and retry.
