Try to setup proxy for Indian 🇮🇳 phone numbers:
https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/how-to/proxy/

Overview

If you're experiencing issues scanning QR codes in WhatsApp, especially with Indian 🇮🇳 phone numbers,
using a proxy located close to the phone number's location may help resolve the problem.

It affects both WEBJS and NOWEB engines.

Symptoms

1. You start a new session in WhatsApp.
2. Scan the QR code.
3. Experience a long loading time.
4. Face login failures or instant logout.
5. Encounter a new QR code or enter a FAILED state immediately.

Configuration

There are two ways to set up proxies:

1. Global Setting (for all sessions per container)
2. Per Session Configuration (you can define a proxy for each session when you start it)

Global Proxy Configuration

To use a proxy, you can set the following environment variables:

• WHATSAPP_PROXY_SERVER=localhost:3128: Set the proxy server in the format host:port, without HTTP or HTTPS.
• WHATSAPP_PROXY_SERVER_USERNAME=username and WHATSAPP_PROXY_SERVER_PASSWORD=password: Configure credentials for the proxy.
• WHATSAPP_PROXY_SERVER_LIST=host1.example.com:3138,host2.example.com:3138: Specify a comma-separated list of addresses to use, utilizing a round-robin algorithm for server selection.
• WHATSAPP_PROXY_SERVER_INDEX_PREFIX=proxy-: Define a session name prefix to choose the appropriate proxy from the list.

Session Proxy Configuration

You can configure proxy for a session by setting config.proxy fields when you POST /api/sessions/start:

• server - proxy server address, without http:// or https:// prefixes
• username and password - set this if the proxy requires authentication

No authentication

{
  "name": "default",
  "config": {
    "proxy": {
      "server": "localhost:3128"
    }
  }
}

Proxy with authentication

{
  "name": "default",
  "config": {
    "proxy": {
      "server": "localhost:3128",
      "username": "username",
      "password": "P@ssw0rd"
    }
  }
}

The configuration is saved and will be applied if the docker container restarts,
and you set WHATSAPP_RESTART_ALL_SESSIONS environment variables.
Read more about it in Autostart section.

@bvivek77 could you try running WAHA locally to test if it works (if you're in India or in any locaiton)?
If it works - consider setting up a tunnel #343 (comment)
