How safe is this to use? Couldn't WhatsApp or Signal detect you're routing everything to a shared hosting server somewhere and ban your account as a bot, stating the fact you're probably breaking some ToS clause?
- jakecopp 5y agoI can't speak to WhatsApp, but I've been using the self hosted Signal bridge [1] and it is brilliant, no bot troubles at all. Behind the scenes it uses signalid [2].

- remram 5y agoI am wondering the same. Did WhatsApp ok this or will it get shut down the moment it gets any traction?
