So far I've tried connecting to Google Talk, Twitter, and Facebook. Google Talk and Facebook both blocked the connection and sent me notices that they thought my account had been compromised. After confirming with Facebook that it really was me, the next login succeeded. Google Talk continued to block additional connection attempts even after I logged in on the web and marked the blocked attempt as really being me. I've previously had trouble with this issue with Gmail when I was attempting to use a Gmail address for notifications sent from Monit on a cloud server. While you can tell Google that a connection attempt in the past was really you, this doesn't seem to have any effect on the next login attempt, so effectively Tor Messenger doesn't work with Google for me.
In general, the fact that each time you launch the client (or generate a new path through the Tor network) you get a new IP, these sorts of security measures put in place by the chat networks could be a difficult issue to work around.
- snassar 11y agoThe biggest problem with connecting to Google Talk and Facebook is that they have deprecated XMPP access[1]. Well Google hasn't really, but they might as well have[2]. As someone who trains people on using XMPP and OTR, Google Talk used to be a great XMPP service and now makes it very difficult for most users to understand why they are having problems with the service. 1) https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat 2) https://xmpp.org/2015/03/no-its-not-the-end-of-xmpp-for-google-talk/ https://xmpp.org/2015/03/no-its-not-the-end-of-xmpp-for-goog...
