You can connect to xmpp.dk using your favourite Jabber client. There's a long list of clients available over at [xmpp.org][jabber-clients].
|
|
|
|
## To create a @xmpp.dk account
|
|
Registration is handled in-band by your Jabber/XMPP client. This is the only way to create an account on xmpp.dk.
|
|
|
|
Simply add _username_@xmpp.dk in your client and click “register” or check the box to “create this account on the server” to sign up.
|

## Connection Information
|
|
|
|
### Server
|
|
|
|
* Internet: xmpp.dk
|
|
* Tor: mjfjbs3547exsy6r.onion
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
|
|
* Require SSL/TLS
|
|
* When connecting to the hidden service you will get a warning about the TLS certificate not matching the host name. This is OK.
|
|
|
|
## Secure Communication
|
|
The connection between your client and xmpp.net is encrypted using TLS. The server requires TLS connections to other XMPP servers.
|
|
This means that if you can't connect to a friend, their provider is not configured to use TLS and the xmpp.dk server will refuse the connection. Your friend
|
|
should either convince their provider to enable TLS server-to-server connections, or switch to a provider that has proper encrypted transport support.
|
|
Since you can't (and shouldn't) trust your xmpp server, I require you always enable [Off-The-Record (OTR)][off-the-record] in your chat client.
|
|
This will give you end-to-end encrypted chat that cannot be decrypted while in transit and, depending on the settings of your client, will not be logged on your local machine.
|
|
|
|
## Federation
|
|
xmpp.dk allows federated connections to all other *S2S TLS-enabled Jabber servers* so you can chat with anyone that has a Jabber account as long as their provider supports TLS and is configured correctly.
