Just tested dino-im in qubes-whonix and here is the result of the test:

  • Install it from debian buster-backport in order to make it work. Stable repo installation will lead to connection failure over Tor.

  • Do Not install it using apt install dino-im because it will show you a hell of dependencies , use instead apt install --no-install-recommends dino-im

  • It doesnt support connection for hidden services addresses #666.

  • It doesnt support for modifying/steric the connection to specific IP and Port #115.

  • It logs the chat history in plain text and cant be deleted/disabled #742 , #651.

  • Not aware of supporting Tor or proxies by default since the start of the app this give indication of not very good experience/care on privacy/anonymity level from their devs.

  • Their development speed some what medium-slow 246 opened tickets , 339 closed.

Maybe Further testing needed for e.g:

  • Check OMEMO/PGP if it were implemented correctly #736.
  • Check TLS connection if it went well #711.
