Nostr Web Client

Replying to Change this if you want

The only way to access your direct messages (DMs) and IP addresses on centralized social media platforms is through a court order presented to the company's lawyers. However, on #nostr your IP address is exposed to everyone, and there's a risk that clients could have backdoors to access your private keys and read leaked metadata from your DMs.

for DMs i would use simplex chat

Obviously! But you can’t stop people to not DMing you on here or just simply encourage them to move to the other app!

Is it truly that easy to look up someone's IP address through nostr? 👀

Yes, we had a guy on here who leaked our IPs on here

Nostr events themselves DO NOT include IP addresses. This info is only available during transfer of events from client to relay.

Every client and rely has access to your IP address during event transfer. It’s up to them to purge or store (or sell?) this data as they see fit.

Thanks 👍! So, what would you say is the best way to counter this?

Use a VPN which you should be for everything else anyways
