Route your WhatsApp Web session through your own home or office internet connection for a far more stable link and fewer QR re-scans. A small background service runs on one of your Windows computers, so WhatsApp sees the same home IP your phone uses — the strongest fix for lines that keep disconnecting. Requires a Windows 10/11 computer that stays powered on and online (macOS/Linux not supported), and account-admin access. Pair more than one computer and Spun automatically fails over to the next one, in a priority order you can drag to reorder, if the active one goes offline; failing over to a computer in a different country needs a manager's approval first. You can also invite someone else to install a computer by email, or lean on another org's shared connection as a backup. Status shows as Ready (green), Unreachable (yellow — machine asleep or service stopped), Needs re-activation (amber - WhatsApp is still pointed at an outdated proxy address; click Activate to fix it), or Offline (red). When downloading and running the installer, the browser or Windows SmartScreen may warn that the file is unfamiliar - this is expected for a newly released, digitally signed installer; choose "Keep" and then "More info" → "Run anyway". If you just need to re-scan a QR with no computer nearby, use "Share QR link" on the reconnect screen instead (open on any phone/tablet, enter the 3-digit PIN).

How to use ​

  1. Go to Settings → WhatsApp → Health and scroll to the Self Proxy card.
  2. Click "Download installer" (or "Download installer again" any time to retry).
  3. On the Windows computer, double-click the downloaded SpunProxySetup file (digitally signed by Spun Life LLC); if the browser or Windows SmartScreen warns the file isn't commonly downloaded, choose "Keep", then "More info" → "Run anyway", and accept the admin (UAC) prompt.
  4. Wait 1–2 minutes until the card shows "Self Proxy — Ready" with a green dot.
  5. Scan the QR code once more so the session moves onto your home IP.
  6. Pair additional computers for automatic failover (drag to reorder priority, approve cross-country failover when asked), invite someone else to install one by email, or manage existing computers with Test Connection, Switch Computer, Re-download, or Disconnect.
