Like the title states looking for E2EE apps (Android and iOS) without going into much details or needs to be robust enough and easy to use for anyone and stable for operations that are susceptible to constant electronic warfare. I did some research and thought about replacing Signal with Molly and wondering if it will still work if Signal leaves the EU, but am also worried about its updates to patch vulnerabilities in a timely manner. I appreciate the help I am a “Jack of all trades and master of none” when it comes to these types of programs, but am also the go to currently in my unit since I am somewhat knowledgeable about exploits and attacks that can compromise systems would be great if there was an desktop as well (like Signal) and would also be nice if it was FOSS and auditable ( I know that’s kind of redundant ) I know it’s a tall order to ask but figured I would try. I really appreciate the help so much and hope I did things by the rules here and don’t get flamed if this has already been covered ( I searched but my skills with searching the fediverse is low

If signal is banned all of these other apps will be banned, but maybe they’ll not enforce it completely
Your best bet is to start using a privacy respecting VPN today, always on on your phone. Like Mullvad
This, I already set Mullvad as an always on VPN and turned on all the content blockers there.
VPNs won’t fix all of your issues. In fact, I don’t think it will do much in this situation
That’s what I’m hoping some consideration considering it would undermine everything in regards to the lifes at risk. Currently using Proton but think Mullvad now it keeps coming up. Does it offer other services as well similar to Proton and if so how are they? Thank you for your reply.
Mullvad is a non-profit focused on privacy as a human right. They provide anonymous VPN services, you can pay with them with crypto, cash, a lot of different things that help distance you from the service. They also provide a Firefox fork, called mullvad browser which is like a mix of the tor browser, arkenfox with all the privacy respecting options set correctly out of the box
No mullvad is a vpn. For mail use some other providers not in your country, switzerland for example. For cloud I would say selfhost.
Roger that thank you for the input.
No maybe Dont do that!
See any VPS provider you can pay by crypto. Access it over the Tor browser. Either do some Linode oneclick stuff or follow some setup to setup a server and wireguard VPN.
I can help you if you want.
Mullvad is easy to block, as every servers IP is known. Custom servers not so likely.
If that fails, Tor network with bridges…
