please use a VPN when using nostr. actually, you should really be using a VPN all the time, no reason not to (even banks and stuff now have been more lenient with them)
if you're an apple user, apple literally provides a free one (iCloud Private Relay) that is actually quite good. it's not technically a VPN but it does mask the IP -> site visit mapping

Why exactly to use a VPN on Nostr? Are our IPs visible on the relays?
#[0]
Iโve been using the iCloud private relay since it was implemented. It works flawlessly
Great tip.
Yes, they are
which vpn works the best? proton?
Is iCPR in effect within apps or just safari?
I have Proton and it works well. Although, I normally use nostr on my phoneโso I use the iCloud relay

thanks ๐๐ค
vpn is only really useful to workaround a geo-block
doesn't protect your ip from leaking when initially connecting to sites, database gets uploaded to a centralised server from the gov with most vpn providers + the free vpns are free for a reason
i hear tor is the way (app Orbot/tor supported browser e.g. brave tor browser)
please correct me if im wrong tho
Void.cat images break when using a VPN. Does it work for you since youโre using it for your pfp?
i'm using a vpn, and it's fine for me! but also, i think i used the direct link and added .gif to the end
nvm, but make sure it's the link with the /d/ in it, but i am using vpn
The whole site gets blocked when I have mine on ๐ซค. Iโve heard this from multiple people too. What provider are you using and do you have dedicated IP?


tbh, i'm just using iCloud Private Relay and Cloudflare WARP+
Got it, thanks
i switched to imgur
I can see your beautiful pfp now! I hope more people switch from void.cat
yeah! thanks for letting me know, i would have never known!!!
