jabber.tcpreset.net

https://jabber.tcpreset.net

XMPP (Jabber) instant messaging server. Federated, end-to-end encrypted chat with OMEMO support. No phone number, no third-party dependencies. Open registration for users who need a privacy-respecting alternative to commercial messaging platforms.


All services are self-hosted on European infrastructure (France and Germany). No cloud providers, no CDNs, no Cloudflare. TLS 1.3 only, with forward secrecy and NIST-curve-free cryptography where possible.
