Matrix is a protocol, not a software. Continuwuity is one of the few servers for this protocol.

Then use it?

I know you are in good faith (and I already run my continuwuity server!), but in ppractical terms you are suggesting to use Google, and I don’t want to. Expecially for something you could have included in text in the post.

edit: I am reminded of Richard Stallman spelling out full URLs during conferences, complete with subdirectories. It is silly, but it works.

Your users won’t ever see the name.

I didn’t know, but did you spot this issue only with Netbird? Couldn’t this be due to the type of connection (P2P / relayed)?

I use JetBird instead, which at least in my case does not drain battery faster than in normal device usage with VPN disabled.

Sunup is simply a client app for Android. It does not do anything on its own.

The push service is run by Mozilla. Master of reading comprehension, I bow to you.

Self-host

It is possible to host your own Autopush server. Autopush is designed to work with Google BigTable but it is also possible to use it with redis.

For this:

1. Clone Autopush

# mozilla-services/autopush-rs

Autopush-rs

Mozilla Push server built with Rust.

By using Sunup, your are going to have to trust Mozilla.
