SimpleX doesn't work in Russia. Session is blocked too. Seems like it was much easier to block than Telegram (they're trying right now and it still works). SimpleX depends only on it's own infrastruct...

It appears Telegram also does not work without VPN in Russia.

We will be implementing connection rotation and redundancy it may reduce the impact. In any case, preventing transport-level blocking is a hard problem, especially if they start using LLM for traffic analysis. It is better to solve it in dedicated VPN solutions, not in the apps.

In my region (of Russia) Telegram is sometimes work without VPN, sometimes not, depending on ISP and mobile/WiFi connection.

No blog post since June 2025? I’m curious about what’s coming next or what’s being worked on. The UX still feels kinda janky with the system messages. And the lack of multi-device is still confusing (although not a deal breaker). I just want clarity since that feature is considered table stake...

I don't see the need for an additional blockchain. Timestamping can be performed on the Timechain & cryptographic signatures don't require a blockchain.
