Signal

Signal is blocked in several countries but you can set up a proxy server to help people access Signal no matter where they live. Here’s how:

Thank you for helping keep Signal available for everyone who needs it.

To share your proxies use #SignalProxy

Proxy Please: Help People Connect to Signal

Several countries have recently blocked Signal, leaving their residents without a trusted and safe place to communicate. To help in this situation, Signal provides a built-in censorship circumvention feature and also includes support for a simple TLS proxy that can bypass these blocks in many cir...

Does the Docker container need to run on ports 80 and 443, or can we use other external ports?

@hanscees @signalapp @1br0wn It's just an nginx server configured as a TLS proxy. TLS both ways.

@signalapp @aral I’ve only got a single IP address currently with several websites hosted behind an nginx reverse proxy. Is there a way to host the Signal proxy behind that using server name to select what traffic reaches it?
Show threadAral BalkanAug 10, 2024
@JosephLord @signalapp I haven’t looked into it in detail but it looks like an nginx configuration so you might be able to merge it into yours. Ideally, though, I wouldn’t. It’s far less headache to spin up a separate $5 instance.

@signalapp won't reply on Mastodon to help people that want to help run their infrastructure (Signal Proxy)

@signalapp wont open "issues" on github so we can have direct convos with devs of #SignalProxy

It may be impossible as the proxy does not speak proper https (http over tls) but https over tls (http over tls over tls).

@signalapp

I would like to provide a proxy and setup one. But before sharing it I want to test, if it works
But my signal app won't allow me to enable the censorship circumvention because I'm already connected.
How can I test it?

@signalapp

I tried the signal.tube page with my server but it only says, that no connection could be established. Without any logs or more information, I'm unable to get it working.

I can't bind the nginx to the ports 80 and 443 because i already have a Traefik reverse proxy serving all my containers.

More information about the proxy would be great, not just a docker-compose file.
Why do I need port 80? Is it only for the ACME challenge?

Telegram Messenger Blocks Navalny Bot During Russian Election

Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny's "Smart Voting" bot has disappeared from the Telegram messenger app following similar moves by Apple and Google on Friday at the start of a three-day parliamentary vote in Russia.

@signalapp Could you please add your documentation for the (very much likely) scenario that people have a running reverse proxy, please? And also open the issues on Github!
I feel like there are a lot of people that would like to support Signal by running a proxy, but struggle to get it running because of your very specific documentation.

@signalapp

Suggestion: implement something like Snowflake proxy in signal.
Or implement a button to connect to Tor via a Tor Bridge like and then to connect to signal servers.

Signal?
That's like a centralized APP you need your cell phone number to register to isn't it?

Can't think of a better way to help government agencies to get data about unwanted citizens ..
