Signal has been blocked by Venezuela and Russia - Lemmy.World

> “We’re aware of reports that access to Signal has been blocked in some countries,” Signal says [https://x.com/signalapp/status/1821979304626155930]. If you are affected by the blocks, the company recommends turning on its censorship circumvention feature. (NetBlocks reports that this feature lets Signal “remain usable” in Russia.)

Their own solution is actually better than a VPN for this use case. It’s an encrypted proxy which anyone can download and run, so it’s much harder to block.
