If Russia has blocked Simplex at the network level, it means that Simplex is private! This is good news!

Can you please explain this a bit? Why does blocking mean it's private?

They have blocked both signal and simplex access...worry about blocking a niche application like simplex...from my point of view is that they have studied it and realized that it works very well.

Important because simplex does not depend on a third party you can have your own infrastructure.

Doesn't really mean much if the tool is rendered useless because of it...

Radio, it always comes to radio & IRL comms in the end.

The core routing & switching is their infrastructure, skip it.

since when has it been blocked ?

Just talked to him and apparently they've blocked port 5223, which is used by SMP servers, as well as xmpp w/TLS. He's going to configure fallback to port 443 with websockets to get around the block.

🫡 Thanks for the info
