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: https://signal.org/blog/proxy-please Thank you for helping keep Signal available for everyone who needs it. To share your proxies use #SignalProxy

    @signalapp@mastodon.world @aral@mastodon.ar.al 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?

  • @signalapp@mastodon.world 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@mastodon.world 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.
