What is Proxygram?
Proxygram is a privacy-focused, encrypted messaging application launched in 2021. It is designed to protect user privacy and security through multiple layers of encryption, anonymous sign-up without a phone number, and self-destructing secret chats.
Some key features of Proxygram include:
- End-to-end encryption - Messages are encrypted on the sender's device and only decrypted on the recipient's device so Proxygram itself cannot access message contents.
- Secure secret chats - Users can enable self-destructing messages that are automatically deleted from both devices after a set period of time.
- Multi-layer routing - Messages are routed through multiple proxy servers to obscure metadata and hide who is talking to whom.
- Anonymous signup - No phone number required to create an account, just a username. Helps preserve anonymity.
- Open source clients - The apps are fully open source allowing transparency and community code reviews.
- Cross-platform availability - Proxygram offers apps for iOS, Android, Windows, Linux and macOS.
Proxygram positions itself as a more secure and private alternative to messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram. Its unique multi-hop architecture aims to give users an extra layer of privacy over mainstream chat apps.
