Is anyone here aware of some alternatives to mentioned instant messaging applications ? Alot of people keep mentioning Signal , however since it is US based I am not going to entertain it as a possibility.

You just misundestand how it works. If nobody uses a VPN Signal is still more secure and private. It simply encrypts more information that Matrix does. The IP address is marginal compared to what long-term identifiable data Matrix knows of your conversations (literally linked to a domain and username). Since Matrix is federated, selfhosing won't shield you from leaking that information.

Perhaps I simply know more about how it works than you do? :) A domain and a username is more easy to fake compared to never slipping up connecting with an identifiable IP.
