yes, that's what I meant. I'm not the dev of this btw, my skills aren't sufficient for this kind of black magic. the tool consists of two pieces of software, and entry node and an exit node. the entry node runs locally or can be hosted by many third parties. the entry node offers a socks proxy over which TLS is established with the web service. the exit node is run by the web service. it all works similar to Tor. you'll be able to visit Google via nostr. you'll be able to connect to cashu mints. the traffic will be encrypted which means the entry and exit nodes won't be able to see it. it's going to be so sick.

Sorry but how is this different from Tor? Relay operators will become like Tor nodes operators and the increased traffic will clog up the network just like it's clogging up Tor. Then who would want to run a relay for free? Only three letter agencies -- like on Tor. I think nostr should stick to its original purpose.
