XMPP

About

We have our own private instant messenger service. It is encrypted and we have no information sharing agreement with the NSA! It is cool because you can chat with VH members without having to publish your AIM/YIM/SKYPE name. It also automatically connects with anyone else using XMPP.

Setup

Many IM clients support XMPP. Its also called "Jabber" Pidgin, Trillian, IM+, IMO, Empathy, and others.

IM+, Trillian and IMO

For these clients, enter the service as Jabber. These clients do not allow you to specify a server. Instead, enter your information as follows:
