You are barking under the wrong tree. The first and immediate problem is your weird dependence on phone number during registration. SMS is not encrypted and those "some countries" don't need to do any mumbojumbo to block #Signal, it is simply enough to block the registration SMS!! We have been telling you this for about 3 years now, and you did absolutely nothing about it.

And yes, I'm a monthly donor to Signal !

has released an article on how to deploy a Signal Proxy in your infrastructure to circumvent the blockades of the application in several countries:

signal.org/blog/proxy-please/

The article includes a guide on how to configure Android and iOS Signal apps, as well as the dockerized solution you can use to deploy one of your own.

By the way, an approach I'm sure I can use on our own deployments. I like how they use compose, Nginx and Certbot at once. I like it.
