Signal Desktop beta now publicly available
I just wish Signal was easier to get through a firewall.<p>"You need to open TCP 31337 and <i>all UDP ports</i> in order for Signal to work." 
Emphasis mine.<p><a href="http://support.whispersystems.org/hc/en-us/articles/213697218-Which-TCP-UDP-ports-need-to-be-available-" rel="nofollow">http://support.whispersystems.org/hc/en-us/articles/21369721...</a><p>When I first read that I was sure that must largely apply to the calling (voip) features, but testing showed me I was wrong. I couldn't even make messaging work through a firewall so now I sourly use Telegram instead (no private chats by default in telegram??).
