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 prefers secure connections to other servers, however this cannot be guaranteed.
|
||
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. Note that Google Talk (has this been deprecated yet?) doesn’t support S2S connections.
