@debacle @poVoq it would be even better if most clients would support connecting via WebSocket as a fallback (like @gajim does). That would save most instance admins from fiddling with ALPN for non-HTTPS connections coming in via 443/tcp

That would be wonderful, indeed, but it is work the client developers need to do and it might take some years to get there.

A server admin probably wants the highest possible reachability with existing clients *now*.

I.e. either ALPN (which is easy with nginx https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Tech/_pages/XEP-0368#nginx) or having a spare IP for xmpps.
