[tor-talk] Tor Messenger

[Markus Ottela]

For configuring Pidgin/Adium/ChatSecure for OTR E2EE and Tor routing, see

If you do this, make sure to register your XMPP account via Tor Browser. 
It might be a good idea to create the account under Onion Service XMPP 
server. This should prevent you from accidentally registering/logging in 
without Tor. You can find a list of servers at

However, it's better for security if you use messengers that are 
onion-routed by default. Consider taking a look at

Ricochet - https://ricochet.im

Really convenient and easy to use, v2 onion services, cross-platform 
support for Win/Mac/Linux.


Briar - https://briarproject.org

Android only, lots of interesting features like blog and forums built on 
top of the messaging protocol.


TFC - https://github.com/maqp/tfc

Less convenient (lack of GUI among other things) but high-end crypto 
like X448-XChaCha20-Poly1305, v3 Onions by default. Also has hardware 
based endpoint security. If you don't need that, the "local test" 
configuration is still usable on one computer although it looks a bit 
silly. Has file transfer and group conversations. Linux only. (Full 
disclosure: I'm the author.)

Cheers,
