Hello,
I am running ejabberd on a FreedomBox [1] which is only accessible as a
Tor hidden service, and I would like to connect to ejabberd over Tor
with Pidgin. Any assistance would be appreciated. So far I have not had
any success.
In Pidgin, I have followed this guide from riseup.net for using Pidgin
with a Tor hidden service, but it did not work:
https://riseup.net/en/chat/clients/pidgin#tor-with-pidgin-configuration
To sum up what I did in Pidgin.
Under Basic tab:
Protocol: XMPP
Username: my-freedombox-username
Domain: EXAMPLE.freedombox.rocks
Resource: empty
password: my-freedombox-username password
Under Advanced tab:
Connection Security: Require encryption
Connect Port: 5222
Connect Server: my-freedombox-onion-address
File Transfer Proxies: empty
Under Proxy tab:
Proxy type: tried both SOCKS 5 and Tor/Privacy (SOCKS5)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: tried both 9050 and 9150 with Tor Browser Bundle running
Pidgin says "Unable to connect".
Note that I have also asked for help at the FreedomBox forum:

Thanks in advance for your help!
