Interesting test. Obviously only applies when you use Signal without priviledged push notifications via FCM through Google servers.

When I installed Signal it complained that I didn't have Google Play Services and fell back to websockets. But my phone is boring, I do have Google services. Could I have something in a firewall config that made it pick wrong? Is it using a different checking mechanism from all my other apps that go through FCM?

No idea. Why not use XMPP? It's better anyways 😜
