The pain in admin'ing a server is real - even for my tiny one! I haven't bumped into these specifically with tuwunel, mostly SSO issues that have been resolved.

But man being able to have all my chats bridged to one thing where I can comfortably sit in a client I control and can freely modify? The feature set and integrations available are really tough to beat.

I find the bridge setup rather suboptimal, but with a complete lack of a good Pidgin alternative for the modern age, it's the best system around, whether you do it with Matrix or with XMPP.
