How do you manage multiple clients if not using proxy ? Individual servers ? If yes, why ? @SACHIBOT

I didn't use a proxy or multiple clients. I ran it on my machine for testing purposes to understand how the process works before adding it to my target projects.

i'm not sure why anyone would want to use mobile registration. this feature makes the library a primary target of WhatsApp takedowns. if users want to register on WhatsApp, they should use the official app. i think we should stick with scanning to keep the library alive.
