I could not find the reference to TLS in the replies. Generally Signal does not use TLS for their messaging system, it is instead something home brewed.

- tialaramex 6y agoSo, what's happening here is that the Signal Desktop app wants a configuration, which it fetches from https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org/v1/config https://textsecure-service.whispersystems.org/v1/config HTTPS is HTTP protocol spoken over a TLS encrypted channel. When these Telia users weren't able to use the Signal Desktop software, this fetch failed, with a 401 error which is the HTTP error code for Unauthorised.
