Hello, delta chat application unable to connect to Chatmail server located in Russia.
The issie looks similar to My relay stopped working, how to fix? [timeout on IMAP connection after CAPABILITY] - #24 by lnchk
It seems like russian censorship replaces the SSL certificate or blocks the connection using DPI.
Yes, Delta Chat client connections to self-hosted chatmail relays are currently blocked from Russia. Probably, it is due to Delta Chat client TLS fingerprints which DPI can easily distinguish from the latest Chrome TLS fingerprints (or another browsers). Maybe, Delta Chat need adding utls library for censorship bypass (but only for possible client in Go language).
Any plans from developers to fix this issue?
I would like to understand whether this problem will be solved?
Can you use Simplex Chat? https://simplex.chat/
I’m curious if their protocol obfuscation works in Russia for you
The latest version has solved this problem v2.56.0
How did it solve it?
It’s working on Android because of background data connection, but push notification isn’t working on Apple devices.
Version v2.56.0 working fine. Thanks!
Glad to hear that. Could you then please mark this topic as solved?
