6 This plugin allows Prosody to connect to other servers that are running as a Tor hidden service. Running Prosody on a hidden service works without this module, this module is only necessary to allow Prosody to federate to hidden XMPP servers.

13 To create a hidden service that can federate with other hidden XMPP servers, first add a hidden serivce to Tor. It should listen on port 5269 and optionally also on 5222 (if c2s connections to the hidden service should be allowed).
