STEP 3) Get an XMPP client for your device/OS/distro
------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll need an XMPP client that allows connecting by proxy (ie. your tunnel at 127.0.0.1, port 5222 made above).
🪶 ANDROID: 'Conversations' app has typically been popular. Find it or others in F-Droid's list of XMPP softwares (https://search.f-droid.org/?q=xmpp). If you use an app like 'Conversations' you'll need to go into 'Settings' > 'Expert settings' > and enable 'Extended connection settings' for such host/port settings.
🐧 DESKTOP: Many GNU+Linux distributions already have Pidgin installed! Kaidan.im is another option.
- In Pidgin for example, go to 'Accounts' > 'Manage Accounts' > 'Add…'
- Then select protocol XMPP, username whatever-you-like, domain (the long key/address eg. ...2eswa6pq.b32.i2p), and set your password.
- In the Proxy tab select type SOCKS5, host 127.0.0.1, port 5222
🪟 🍎 Windows/MacOS users might have luck with gajim.org or adium.im respectively, try a web search for "xmpp' and your OS.
Be wary but 📨 HAPPY IM-ING MINUS DOT-CONS! 👏 🥳 🎉
