  • execute bash script on AS5104T (ADM 4.0.6.RIS1)?
    1 project | /r/asustor | 2 Nov 2023
    I'm trying to install the Signal proxy server on my AS5104T NAS, but one of the first steps is to run a bash script, which ADM doesn't have. It only ships with /bin/sh.

    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.

  • #Iran 🇮🇷 Replace your Islam with Christian Nationalism❕🙂
    1 project | /r/WorldPeaceRevolution | 6 Oct 2022
    People, Yall can help them Spread Christian Nationalism by turning Your device into a proxy So these Iranians can use it to access the Signal messaging app. U will need 1️⃣. a server with ports 80 & 443 available & 2️⃣. A domain name (or subdomain) that points to the server's IP address. The proxy is extremely lightweight. An inexpensive & Tiny VPS can easily handle 100s of concurrent users. Steps : SSH into your server, Install Docker, Dockers Compose & Git. sudo apt update sudo apt install docker docker-compose git. Clone the Signal TLS proxy repository : git clone https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy.git Enter the repo directory : cd Signal-TLS-Proxy
