    @AnonymousVideo @torproject @signalapp you don’t hear from us later, know that they disable our internet so that we can’t sens our voice to the world The situation is not good Help the people of Iran #OpIran #مهسا_امینی

  • Neelv1998 Neel Vadodaria / નીલ વડોદરીયા (@Neelv1998) reported

    Is anyone else facing a problem sending messages with @signalapp . Looks like the service is down. #SignalDown

  • derekmorr Derek Morr (@derekmorr) reported

    @JusticeRage @signalapp It looks like a connection is being reused. When I force close the app, then enter your made-up address, I get a connection failed error. But if I had an existing proxy set, then change to your address, it reports it connected successfully. Should file a bug.

  • AS2Tall AS2Tall 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 (@AS2Tall) reported

    @signalapp Hey @elonmusk can you help iranians communicate with the world via starlink internet access?

  • In_black_dress1 🖤MoReSi (@In_black_dress1) reported

  • behrozarshiya Behroz Arshiya (@behrozarshiya) reported

    @signalapp pls install addons or extension "Snowflake" in chrome or firefox. this more than help us iranian to access free internet.

  • dafrd frd ✈️ (@dafrd) reported

    @signalapp A simple server on a @Synology NAS could help?

  • HealingHobbit Pip Miller (@HealingHobbit) reported

    @signalapp Help! A friend no longer uses the app on a new phone, but she's still connected as using it on my end. How can I make it so I can text her again?

  • enoclue randy bush (@enoclue) reported

    @signalapp i could set one up; but do not understand how it will help as they seem to have cut off all internet access.

  • MeanEYE_rcf Mladen Mijatov (@MeanEYE_rcf) reported

    @Ch11Filburt @signalapp @AminSabeti This is a bad idea. There are plenty of people who know what they are doing who can host this. Having non-technical people do it would only cause problems for the network.

  • zanoga Maxim Zanoga (@zanoga) reported

    @signalapp same problem, GitHub 404 error

  • Shahinism Shahin (@Shahinism) reported

    @signalapp The only problem is @Docker hub is not accessible in Iran due to sanctions by the united states. Makes it a pain to use these containers with an Iranian IP (need to use a VPN/proxy)

  • sephr 🕊 (@sephr) reported

    @signalapp Your Flex Mode integration doesn't work on my Galaxy Fold 4 while it does on my Fold 3. Can you fix this?

  • ziziparsa Zizi (@ziziparsa) reported

    @signalapp Please help us_our government kill our girls and people _mahsaamini

  • AGilSeattle Alejandro Gil 🇪🇸 🇺🇸 (@AGilSeattle) reported

    Private communications has been a thing for me for a long time. If you value your privacy, these are the apps you need: - @signalapp: the only secure messaging app - @ProtonPrivacy: e-mail and calendar. Also storage and VPN - @NordVPN: fast VPN service

  • gaidheileamail1 @gunchleoc@mastodon.scot (@gaidheileamail1) reported

    @signalapp @janboehm Snowflake is safe to run if you're in a democracy, because it's not the Tor exit node, but an entry node. So, you won't get into trouble if it's being misused for illegal things.

  • Shahinism Shahin (@Shahinism) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp Does the server location matter? The last time they disconnected the internet, the servers located in Iran had access to the internet, but servers outside were inaccessible. This, of course, depends on how obscure the proxy protocol is; otherwise, it can be a problem.

  • SzymekSzybki Szymon (@SzymekSzybki) reported

    @signalapp @Zaufana3Strona Hi, can i host proxy server behind reverse proxy? I would like to help, but can't find any official way to do so.

  • OliverLinow Oliver Linow (@OliverLinow) reported

    @enoclue @signalapp The last 2 days they just cut off temporary mobile internet from the late afternoon until the morning. Social Media, western news websites and Signal is blocked on all networks 24/7. You can definitely help with a proxy!

  • AIirezaIRL Alireza (@AIirezaIRL) reported

    @signalapp This is good but majority of people in Iran have VPN. It's the internet access through state owned infrastructure that's been limited. That is the problem

  • fojiiba فیجوآ🌱 (@fojiiba) reported

    @signalapp The Iranian government is burning the holy Quran, ripping the hijab off women, stripping women naked on the streets,blaming all these on the people who fight for their rights. Be our voice.These crimes are committed by the government in order to shut us down #مهسا_امینی #OpIran

  • JonWickizer Jon Wickizer (@JonWickizer) reported

    @signalapp @mer__edith Yes it’s blocked. Will try to help figure it out.

  • ordibeheshti_ a developer ☕ (@ordibeheshti_) reported

    @AndyB65936288 @enoclue @signalapp Although the internet has been completely cut off in some places, the main problem is the censorship of social networking and communication applications. #Mahsa_Amini #مهسا_امینی #OpIran

  • ziziparsa Zizi (@ziziparsa) reported

    @signalapp Please help us_our government kill our girls and people _mahsaamini

  • ziziparsa Zizi (@ziziparsa) reported

    @signalapp In Iran, ambulances are misused to arrest protesters, and this is a crime, and the international organization must be stopped. #opIranPlease help us_our government kill our girls and people _mahsaamini

  • dvanduzer david van duzer (@dvanduzer) reported

    @derekmorr @memelordengels @signalapp aha, thank you. that does help me understand the theory! if i understand correctly, a user of your proxy must trust "you" to not be an Agent running a mitm on your node. i suspect Signal mitigates this, but either way it doesn't sound like the Onion threat model

  • PetraKesten Petra Kesten (@PetraKesten) reported

    @signalapp I guess not,but still want to ask. Is there an more easy way? Like the browser extension snowflake from tor. That's much easier to set up. Could people also use the tor network (e.g. via snowflake) to access signal service?

  • stockerottzi Mother of Dragons #Fella #Nafo 🇺🇸🇺🇦🌻🌻💕 (@stockerottzi) reported

    @signalapp I'd love to help, I'll give it a shot

  • mehdi0x61 Mehdi (@mehdi0x61) reported

    @signalapp @mer__edith @derekmorr is there a place (like Github issues) to get help on troubleshooting? Clients fail to connect to the server I’ve set up following the guide.
