They also shut down internet and phone networks to the outside world. My friends in Germany can't even call their families anymore. If anybody here has a good idea for simple comm bridges let me know. #bangladesh

Idk if this helps but I saw this a while back on here. Can't find the original post.

Basically - from reading the comments on the video:

It works over short distances (about 5km)

It's basically an off-grid pager/ walkie talkie but for cell phones.

Hope all is good!

I love love love the idea of LoRa and am planning to get a device for tinkering, but I think there are not enough nodes/bandwidth to make this an option at the moment. At least not with my resources 😄 I could spin up a proxy but I can't drop hundreds of devices at a border to enable a mesh network 😅

Have you tried SimpleX over Tor/Orbot?

Not yet, but I'll try to pass it on, thank you!

You bet. Stay safe out there 🫡💜

Thanks! You too 💜

Right now I also wonder how to even inform folks inside the country of things like this when they are shut down already. 🤔
