How can I find a proxy address?

注意：建议尽可能私下分享代理地址。

1. Search Twitter, etc. for proxy links using the #IRanASignalProxy hashtag. 
2. 从亲朋好友获取链接或扫描二维码。
3. Set one up yourself using a server with ports 80 and 443 available and a domain name (or subdomain) that points to the server’s IP address. Follow steps from the blog post here or GitHub here.

What happens if my proxy is blocked?

将出现提示，指出代理已断开并且无法收发 Signal 消息。请参考上述步骤，更改代理，使用可正常连接的地址。只要世上还有服务器，人们可以运行的 Signal TLS 代理数量是没有限制的。
