We need to talk about Signal's call for more grassroots proxies.
While it's a noble cause and I do think the current approach will work it seems like it won't take long for these new proxies to be detected and blocked, possibly even before ppl are able to make use of them.
When I first read the blog and skimmed the proxy I assumed you could place the proxy within an existing website. But instead it seems to require a purpose made domain(or sub).
So close to greatness.
