Nostr Web Client

**The Umbrel Nostr Relay is now available**

Introducing Nostr Relay — an official app by Umbrel.

Connect your Nostr clients, such as Damus, Astral, and Amethyst, to your private relay for seamless backup of all your activity on Nostr. This ensures that your activity is not lost even if you are censored or blocked by public relays.

In Damus, go to Settings > Relays to add your Relay URL.

Tip: Install Tailscale on your Umbrel and your devices for an uninterrupted connection between your clients and your relay, even when you're away from your home network. Enable Tailscale's MagicDNS and use ws://umbrel:4848 as your Relay URL.

Nostr Relay is powered by the open source nostr-rs-relay project — a Rust implementation of Nostr relay. It currently supports the entire relay protocol, including NIP-01, NIP-02, NIP-03, NIP-05, NIP-09, NIP-11, NIP-12, NIP-15, NIP-16, NIP-20, NIP-22, NIP-26, NIP-28, and NIP-33.

How is it private if everybody see the list of your relays? Can anybody else connect to it? Or how does it work anyway?

Nobody else can connect to it. Tailscale is a private network that only you have access to.

If you use Tailscale, no one else would be able to connect to it.

No one can connect — it’s on your local network (you can use Tailscale to connect to own relay from outside of your home over an encrypted tunnel). Moreover Umbrel provides everyone with the same address for the relay if you connect over tailscale (ws://umbrel:4848), so it’s best to only connect that way

Am I correct, #[4] , or is there a better explanation?

So even though no one else can connect, they would be able to see that you are using Umbrel, right?
