Describe the bug

I am encountering an issue when trying to use whatsapp-web.js with Puppeteer to access https://web.whatsapp.com/. The error I receive is net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED, which prevents the WhatsApp client from starting correctly.

Expected behavior

const { Client, LocalAuth } = require('whatsapp-web.js'); const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

const whatsapp = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth(), puppeteer: { headless: false, args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'] } });

whatsapp.on('qr', (qr) => { console.log('QR RECEIVED', qr); });

whatsapp.on('ready', () => { console.log('READY'); });

whatsapp.initialize();

Steps to Reproduce the Bug or Issue

const { Client, LocalAuth } = require('whatsapp-web.js'); const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

const whatsapp = new Client({ authStrategy: new LocalAuth(), puppeteer: { headless: false, args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'] } });

whatsapp.on('qr', (qr) => { console.log('QR RECEIVED', qr); });

whatsapp.on('ready', () => { console.log('READY'); });

whatsapp.initialize();
