View submission: How to use WhatsApp on dumbphones

Sorry for the newbie question-- but why does this need to be performed through a server? is there not a way to do this through a personal laptop?

It can run on a personal laptop, but it needs to have a public IP or a reverse tunnel that'd make that laptop network-accessible from the internet (dumbphones typically don't have any VPN functionality).
