The Calyx Institute has been doing some work promoting adding Tor hidden service protocol to XMPP servers, to improve security, privacy and anonymity.
Along those lines, I wanted to send a quick update: 1) There is now a list of XMPP servers that are reachable via Tor hidden services at this URL: https://xmpp.net/reports.php#onions 2) Also, XMPP.net's server scanner now works with servers that are reachable via .onion addresses Here is an example: https://xmpp.net/result.php?domain=jabber.calyxinstitute.org&type=client Unfortunately it's still not that easy for average Internet users to connect to services ( other than websites ) over Tor, but we will be releasing some how-to documentation shortly. I'll report back when that's ready for peer review. best, Nick -- Nicholas Merrill Executive Director The Calyx Institute 287 Spring Street New York, NY 10013
