Signal
Signal (signal.org) is widely considered the most secure mainstream messenger, recommended by Edward Snowden, EU Commission staff, and most security researchers. Uses the Signal Protocol for end-to-end encryption. Blocked or throttled in Iran, the UAE, Egypt, Pakistan, and intermittently in China. Voice and video calls are the first to be restricted when the service comes under pressure.

FAQ
Is Signal blocked in my country?
Possibly. Known blocks: Iran, UAE, Egypt, Pakistan, and intermittent throttling in China. Use a clean US/EU IP to bypass.
Why are my Signal calls dropping?
UDP WebRTC traffic is filtered more aggressively than TCP messages. Try a residential IP, not a datacenter one.
Is Signal really private?
Yes — it's open source, audited, run by a non-profit, and stores minimal metadata (only your phone number and last-seen timestamp).
