This ticket is a request to add XMPP servers to this list that are (exclusively) served by Onion Services.

What?

I noticed that there are no XMPP servers in this list served by an Onion Service (eg a URL that ends with .onion).

Why?

Instead of using the untrustworthy X.509 PKI model, all connections to a v3 .onion address is made to a single pinned certificate that is directly correlated to the domain itself (the domain is just a hash of the public key + some metadata).

Moreover, some of the most secure operating systems send all the user's Internet traffic through the Tor network --- for the ultimate data security & privacy of its users.

In short, XMPP users are much safer communicating to XMPP servers over a .onion domain than its clearnet domain.

How?

Please add some XMPP servers that are hosted by .onion domains. Preferably some of which are exclusively served by Onion Services, to prevent the possibility for the clients to connect over a (non-existent) clearnet domain.
