I wanted to gather information if someone of the operators implemented it successfully. I haven't tried it yet, but from what I read about the matrix architecture, the design is heavily bound to the url, e.g. my-matrix-server.org If you would create an onion service with an onion url, the matrix/synpase service might not be able to handle it correct, because it won't listen to it / you can't specify it. For example, if you use the element desktop client, you can specify your username username e.g. myuser at my-matrix-server.org. But you can't specify any more connection details, such as connect via my-user at onionv3url.onion. This is one problem :) You may can work around this and add an onion service to the web interface of your matrix server, e.g. element.my-matrix-server.org. So people might be able to chat via an onion service on the web interface, but for the desktop client it does not seem to be possible. But I may just need to try it out and see what roadblocks come up, to answer your question in a proper way :) cheers, shadow On 01.02.21 18:00, Silvia/Hiro wrote: > Hello, > > On 1/31/21 5:31 PM, shadow wrote: >> Hey all fellow list members, >> >> does anyone of you has been able to set up Matrix / Synapse / Element as >> an onion service? >> >> There are are open tickets regarding this: >> * https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/5152 >> >> and also a Cloudflare level implementation: >> https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-onion-service/ >> >> But I wonder if anyone of you already set it up and what your experience >> have been with it.
