Your videos are really good. Clear and concise ... Cheers
Great video, you was really clare in everything you said (and I have seen not only this video).
It is OT, but I try to ask it anyway: I was wondering, what do you think about nas? I'm not talking about DIY solutions, but for example synology nas. I mean, from your point of view, is it ok to use it? Could it be a good compromise between security and 'usability'?
Thanks for the explanation and demo Sun. Great job
Pleasure!
@@sunknudsen I have problem in registeration.i can't receive sms or calls for opt.what can I do?
Next video - how to find a homeless person to buy a sim card for you?
That's smart, but illegal.
@@pfikurum In most jurisdictions it isnât, if the homeless person consents.
Solid mate. Much appreciated the video. Oh now my name is here and OPSEC is compromised lol :) set's deletes himself :)
Thanks for info sir
Hey mate, can I suggest or request IDK a video for the addons you use or recommend for firefox, love your work.
Hey Barry, I donât use many as they each have access to some or all of my browsing activity. See czcams.com/video/NH4DdXC0RFw/video.html. Let me know if that is what you were looking for. Also, did you listen to my other two episodes on Firefox (see czcams.com/users/sunknudsensearch?query=Firefox)?
Hello Sun, love your videos. The trial number we get from Twilio, do we own it and get to keep it forever (as long as we're paying)? Thanks.
Hey, I believe one gets to keep that number as long as one pays.
@@sunknudsen Thank you for the reply Sun! I got another number for fun. Great content and great channel. Keep it up!
Excuse my ignorance Sun but instead of buying a SIM card, wonât I achieve the same aim by just buying a cheap phone to use straight off the bat with cash at the supermarket with no KYC involvement? Love your knowledge, your enthusiasm, your clarity, your humour and your overall approach, by the way and thanks so much for your help - David
Hey, sure, buying a prepaid phone is cool (actually better given the phone has never been tied to an identity). Thanks for the push David!
@@sunknudsen Thank you so much for the response. I just wondered why the sim was preferable to buying the prepaid phone but I assume thatâs to save money by using the new sim on an existing phone, such is the limit of my knowledge on this matter. I assume the IMEI identifier is irrelevant too with a brand new dedicated phone just so long it hasnât been tied to an identity.
@@sunknudsen where do they sell prepaid phones with sim card on?
hi there , i have question about signal app please , i create a private group in signal and i set only admin can add member and edit info but everyone in this group can type!! , can you tell me what should i do then member can only see or view content in this group?i don't want anyone can type in this group except admin . thnx
I don't care a bout privacy but need to join a signal messaging group. I have a computer and a telephone but it is not a smartphone. How can it be done?
@8:29 Not trying to be that guy.... But Signal is an organization, not a company. This is a game changer which is why they can focus so heavily on privacy and not charge for this amazing service, whether it be a monthly fee or monetize your existence... Like FB etc. Great video
Google know what the phone number is as soon as you put sim in an android phone, they even get to auto verify the number for Google account, if course they know who you are through Google account.
I cant install Signal on my iPad because itâs not asking for my phone number, itâs telling me to launch Signal on my phone then link it to my iPad.. Why am I not simply being asked for my phone number to complete the installation? To try and bypass this I am simply returned to the App Store and told âFailed to link your device,â Can you please tell me what I am missing here because I very much want to install Signal on my iPad?.
Installing Signal can be confusing... put simply, you need a phone to install Signal. Then, you can link other devices... I haven't explored why.
How do I get a hold of you on Github? I would like to communicate with you more please.
How about Swiss-based Threema? What do you think about it?
My same doubt
Wasn't a encrypted company from Swiss who sold their encryption device to the governments around the world was owned by 3 letter agency from the USA. Swiss companies may claim clean, but nobody knows about them.
@@nitinkumar29 Wait, you mean the Crypto AG? Threema isn't owned by Crypto AG.
@@klavieraficionado10 I didn't mean that it was Threema, but it was also a Swiss company and all government would trust and buy their product for encryptions, only to find later that it is owned by 3 letter agency and they did intercept information from around the world. On paper, it was also owned by a single person. Wiki has more info.
@@klavieraficionado10 Also, their app source codes are not open source and you can't build the source code to generate app apk to install on your android phone, only signal is that transparent. That way, you know the code that's running in the app.

I had signal on Android and Signal ceased my default messenger. But on I moved to IOS and it doesnât allow Signal to be my default m SMS app. Anyone experience this or know a workaround?

I understand that Signal sends automatic notifications to everyone you has your Signal phone number. What would be an example of the kind of notification(s) Signal would send to your contacts? Thank you
Btw, I started using Signal with a dedicated phone number without allowing the app access to contacts... I will publish an episode on the subject shortly. That setup does not send notifications to contacts.
@@sunknudsen Thanks again, Sun - itâs good to know the dedicated phone does not send notifications to my potential Signal contacts and I look forward to your next post on the subject. Keep up the great work of giving everyone the benefit of your extensive knowledge, Sun, your enthusiasm is infectious and makes your videos a joy to watch. All the best to you.
I may come back to signal sometime in the future. But right now signal is buggy. It crashes all the time on me no matter what device Iâm using it on so I donât have this issue with Skype I donât have this issue with Telegram I donât know why signal does this but I have to frequently uninstall the app and then reinstall it and itâs just a pain in the butt. So if ever the time comes that you know signal doesnât crash like that all the time I may end up trying it again
if i buy a used smartphone and run it with an anonymus prepaid card, imei doesn't play a role, right?
I wish your question would of been answered. Did you ever find out the answer?
I've given this a lot of thought and with some planning despite the IMEI problem it's still possible to make your signal account anonymous. Purchase prepaid phone and sim with cash, only have contacts on phone that have signal. Don't use the phone for non-signal conversations. Don't use signal on your home wifi unless using a VPN or/and TOR. Instruct contact to never enter your name in their contacts with this number. Follow other information in this video and you can avoid being attached to this signal account. What are your thoughts on this procedure?
I got help from *password_track* on Instagram he is the best

Can a google phone number be used as a number? Thanks!
Why does signal ask for your pin?
If I use my personal phone, they will know I have an account. But can they read my messages??
Idk why I feel like this app is not as secure or give you privacy as the first versions of whatsapp. I mean before Mark bought whatsapp. Something is fishy here
Wouldn't the only way to top off your sim card be to use your bank account/ credit cards? Seems trackable
Title: How to Signal w/out Personal #
Content: All numbers become personal.
I use one of my google voice numbers on signal.
A prepaid sim-card can be purchased without ID registration in Canada? Envy lol.
So far yes!
Oui, M.
I'd use Signal just for family and friends, those close people who have my phone number anyway, and then for other people use Session or some other E2EE means that don't require a phone number
Threema
@@YungLam-ws1fw that's a paid app
How to I get I job like that
What about when you first purchase your actual phone? You will have to register it in some way to activate it, so can you explain more of how I would implement your techniques so that I can activate the phone for service.

at 9:02, you masked your phone number, but the notification is sliding in and out, which shows your number...
Thanks for reporting this... really appreciated. I am actually editing an episode and discovered while reviewing the footage that I had forgotten to to mask an IP for a fraction of a second. Thankfully the Signal episode used a disposable SIM card. đ€Šđ»ââïž
@@sunknudsen feel free ro delete my comment then. but i guess thatâs not your real number anyway...
All good... the number was only used for the privacy guides and has been decommissioned since.
We now provide mobile numbers for WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram verification without having to share your personal information.
Signal should give up on using phone numbers and use something like sign in with ethereum along with a backup key incase ethereum gets 51% attacked/dies. By requiring some ethereum in your ethereum account it should prevent spam. Trasnaction fees arenât cheap so even though you can create unlimited ethereum accounts, loading some ethereum onto one costs like $2.
Crypto isn't anonymous bro..
Most people in most parts pf the world can't buy crypto without handing over their information first.
So that's useless.
@@higherup9862 You can but you arenât resourceful enough fathom the possibility.
Most people don't know how to use crypto. Only a few, including you.
(What the heck?)
@@higherup9862 Itâs easier to buy crypto without ID than it is to get a bank account without ID.
Do you really buy a new "throw away" simcard every 6 months? And really only use signal on a second phone with these "throw away" simcards? or do you only do that for your work mobile and not your private mobile?
More on that subject shortly. Stay tuned!
@@sunknudsen Great! Thanks alot!
I can't find registration lock on my Android phone. Is that feature only on iphones?
Hey, have you tried clicking avatar (circle with letter inside), then âAccountâ?
@@sunknudsen I just did. Thank you very, very much!
how do you install it without google playstore? if you allow it, whats the point google will have it. you can use Textnow to create a new number for signal, but the issue is google.
You can download textbow with ios and get a number ?
Hi mate. I have installed this app with my friend.. but so far we couldn't see each other like other apps .. what's the solution please
Did you have answers for this because also me I have same problem I get only miss call but I can't talk or receive income msg or call
@@mohammedr.k6845 Unfortunately no. I deleted the app .
I once have same issues but I got help from *password_track* on Instagram he is a pro
O need I person like you so it can help me

So question, I have roleplaying partners that want anonymity...i.e. me not knowing their phone number. I honor that. Signal looks like a good back up for Second Life. Can I use Signal without showing my or their phone number?
I can do this with Wickme.

@@ruthinya9928 Thanks!
@@buckleymordecai9605 did you contact him
@@ruthinya9928 Sent a message, yes.
Well u can turn off the notification of showing someone ur presence
I life alot of times only was to 39 but a past 39 so now too kill it's a nono
They ask for an ID for KYC when buying a SIM card where I live........
Sorry to hear about that... unfortunate. Perhaps others know about non-KYC alternatives?
That really sucks. Ask someone to send you one from another country

Have you heard of jmp.chat? They're a voip service that allows anonymous sign up and encryption within their network. Looks promising, but I don't know enough to know if it's legitimate and safe.
Interesting value prop, but I agree it's hard to know if the project can be trusted... I am working on a similar idea and establishing trust and making sure (as much as possible) that users cannot leak their identity is a hard problem to solve.
Good info but too fast paced for the neophyte.
Thanks for the feedback. Finding the right pace is tough.
Don't have a id
I was having same issues but I got mine fixed by spycalvin on IG I really appreciate his service
I doubt Sun is his real name
His parents weren't very imaginative when naming their Son, but they knew their homonyms.
