I just set up one of these Signal proxies. Hope it helps you and others in your country communicate freely and safely. [1]
Regarding Tor: if you want a Signal-like app that uses an onion router look at Session. [2]
It uses the same encryption protocol and very similar UI to Signal but routes all traffic through the Loki network so your traffic passes through three nodes. It is an onion network like Tor.
One other benefit of Session is the lack of metadata inherent to its design. No phone numbers or even usernames are attached to your account. You get a set of characters that looks similar to a bitcoin address and a QR code to make sharing it easier.
Of course this lacks the convenience of Signal but it’s as hard to block as Tor.
