KryptEY – Android keyboard for E2EE comms via Signal protocol in any messenger
A significant amount of people will go "huh, Signal will only work when my Netflix VPN is on, I wonder why that is". Signal won't just disappear.
In fact, Signal has a network of volunteers running special proxy services[1] to access Signal from countries with oppressive governments. Signal the company may leave, but Signal the app will try to stay relevant for as long as possible.

Signal Proxy stopped working
I'm using a custom podman container behind my own nginx proxy, so all I needed was to remove the api.directory.signal.org sections from the nginx.conf according to commit 461d2d1aeec601a4d62100949a227f0cef2f6154.
We've updated the proxy itself to remove references to the old domain (see https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy/commit/461d2d1aeec601a4d62100949a227f0cef2f6154). If you pull the latest version, that should fix things.
Yes, https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy/commit/461d2d1aeec601a4d62100949a227f0cef2f6154 resolved the issue for me (using a custom container). Thanks!

Signal TLS Proxy
It's a bit odd to use a custom docker image, rather than the one maintained by nginx Inc though:
https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy/blob/main/ngin...
Vs
https://github.com/nginxinc/docker-nginx
For one, this is 5 versions behind (1.18 vs 1.23).
In general seems caddy or haproxy might be a better fit - but nginx is a perfectly fine choice I suppose.

Help users in Iran reconnect to Signal
I'm a big fan of the idea of independently-run proxy servers.
Caddy has a secure forward proxy plugin born out of a research project at Google that does something similar, but works with any clients that let you configure HTTP proxies, and doesn't terminate TLS: instead it tunnels it over TLS. The proxy server itself can also be probe-resistant, i.e. difficult to detect that a website is acting as a proxy.
I'm hoping more people can help test the patch to support Caddy v2: https://github.com/caddyserver/forwardproxy/pull/74
