    > Having trouble finding info on whether XMPP works properly in China. Ideally, a Chinese user would be able to log in with an account on my server outside of China and operate as normal. Otherwise, a JID registered on a Chinese server, but able to federate to my server and participate in multi user chats. Anyone have any experience crossing the Great Wall of China? From what I hear, they've been cracking down on VPNs and blocking US company IPs (homie can no longer access PayPal as of a few weeks ago), so hopefully it just works "raw," as one could say I just know hosting a server in China requires lots of red tape. I've heard from people using XMPP in China with servers at other locations.

    >> yup. "Best Practices" XEPs are the unsung heroes. I think I've got the server about as China-ready as it's going to get at this point, I'll likely set up I2P as a fallback too. All that's really left is to get the Chinese homie plugged in and see what happens 🤷‍♂ī¸ > wish tor/i2p/ygg federation were set up by more servers. more decentralization and being able to host behing cgnat I'd set up I2P if anyone links to an article I can read about the subject.

    might consider hosting in a country that the GFW is "friendly" to

    Note to those running prosody on Debian, there has been a DSA for some minor vulnerabilities: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/DSA-6252-1
