HI,

Got a question about corporate policy whereby it is blocking Opera/WhatsApp.

Opera whatsapp sidebar uses web.whatsapp.com to load. However, corporate policies uses (eg using Kaspersky Endpoint) by creating rules to block the access to Whatsapp

Access denied
The requested cloud service cannot be provided

https://web.whatsapp.com/

Access to the service is denied by Cloud Discovery.

Service name: WhatsApp
Service category: Messengers

Just wondering if Opera may have alternatives to launch Whatsapp sidebar without routing through web.whatsapp.com link?

Thanks

p/s: Using Windows Store' Whatsapp is working. Not blocked by Kaspersky Endpoint. Prefer to use Opera's Whatsapp sidebar as a single app
