rust-signal-tlsd 0.1.0-1

Package Information

DescriptionStandalone Rust implementation of Signal's domain fronting TLS proxy

Negotiates an outer TLS handshake and listens for an incoming TLS connection from the Signal client. The inner TLS connection remains end-to-end encrypted between the client and the Signal server, while the outer TLS connection is terminated at the proxy.

This evades censorship based on IP address blocking, DNS filtering, and SNI-based deep packet inspection.

It implements the protocol of the official Signal-TLS-Proxy, but in a single process instead of two nginx instances glued together with docker-compose.

It was successfully field-tested in April 2026 to evade Russian censorship of Signal, through a VPS located in Kazakhstan.
