Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PoorPourPore Clu (@PoorPourPore) reported

    @signalapp How is your service being blocked if you are using onion routers? Seriously, I'm confused. When using Tor, I have several options to obfuscate my connection. How are you being blocked in Iran?

  • rezashahnazar Reza (@rezashahnazar) reported

    @KonstantWeddige @signalapp Internet is totally shutted down here scince 2 hours ago. Even almost all ports within the internal national network are blocked. The need for help is way beyond these solutions.

  • atheerallawati أثير (@atheerallawati) reported

    @signalapp I need help in setting up the app on my iPhone, i’ve read the instructions on the main page but still couldn’t open the app

  • 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!

  • dafrd frd ✈️ (@dafrd) reported

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

  • 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

  • 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)

  • TommyTran732 Tommy (@TommyTran732) reported

    @signalapp Please update your docker-compose. There are already several PRs to fix some of the problems. - The NGINX version is 2 years old. You should really bump it frequently or use nginx:alpine - It needs :Z in the bind mounts to work on SELinux - The containers should have as…

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • ziziparsa Zizi (@ziziparsa) reported

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

  • 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?

  • 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

  • noramaleki Nora Maleki (she/her) (@noramaleki) reported

    @vinusak @signalapp @AnonymousVideo This is exactly the problem of many in Iran. Is there a way to get the code via email?

  • In_black_dress1 🖤MoReSi (@In_black_dress1) reported

    @signalapp @AnonymousVideo Iran regime have shut down internet #مهسا_امینی #Mahsa_Amini #OpIran

  • politicalplayer ‏ًً (@politicalplayer) reported

    @signalapp Wouldn’t be much of an issue if you had started usernames

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • noramaleki Nora Maleki (she/her) (@noramaleki) reported

    @vinusak @signalapp @AnonymousVideo Those is exactly the problem that I know as well. Is there a way to get the code via email?

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

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

  • 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

  • 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.

  • FNikanpour farshid nikanpour (@FNikanpour) reported

    @freeman010 @signalapp Signalapp is down in Iran

  • Mariyeh19 دختر ماشین باز 😌☁️🏎 (@Mariyeh19) reported

  • 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

  • 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.
