There’s power in owning your words.
At Tom’s IT Cafe, we built a fully self-hosted Matrix Synapse server – secured, encrypted, and tuned for reliability.
The setup runs behind an Nginx reverse proxy, wrapped with Let’s Encrypt certificates for trusted TLS, and rate-limited to resist noise.
A TURN server handles voice and video bridging, while PostgreSQL and routine backups ensure consistency and resilience.
It’s not an experiment anymore; it’s production-grade communication, built to last.
In a world that normalizes surveillance, privacy is no longer a luxury-it’s survival.
For small and mid-sized enterprises, sealed local communication means that client data, internal strategy, and private exchanges never leave trusted ground.
No third-party logging. No data mining. No silent observers in the stream.
The setup is not open-sourced in full, because true security is never copy-paste – it’s design, context, and discipline.
But if your organization values control and confidentiality, Tom’s IT Cafe can build and maintain a hardened Matrix communication server for you.
A private network. Your people. Your signal.
