Proxy support is planned?

Proxy Support: Neonize vs whatsmeow

Summary

Library	Proxy Support	Status
whatsmeow (Go)	✅ Full support (HTTP + SOCKS5)	Built-in
Neonize (Python)	❌ Not exposed	Feature not implemented

---

The Problem

whatsmeow (the underlying Go library) has excellent proxy support:

• SetProxy() – HTTP / HTTPS proxy
• SetSOCKSProxy() – SOCKS5 proxy
• SetProxyAddress() – Auto-detects proxy type from URL
• Proxy options:
  • WebSocket-only
  • Login-only
  • Exclude media traffic

However, Neonize does not expose these functions to Python.

The proxy capabilities exist in the compiled .so binary, but there is no Python interface to configure or access them.

---

What Was Checked

• ✅ Neonize source code — no proxy-related functions
• ✅ Neonize documentation — no proxy mentions
• ✅ GitHub issues — no existing proxy requests
• ⚠️ Compiled binary — proxy code exists but is not accessible

---

Question

Is proxy support expected to be exposed in Neonize?

If yes:

• Is there a roadmap or ETA for exposing HTTP / SOCKS5 proxy configuration?
• Would a PR adding Python bindings for the existing Go proxy options be acceptable?

If not:

• Is proxy usage intentionally unsupported?
• Are there recommended workarounds (e.g. system-level proxying)?
