You are connecting to them using your IP so...

Hmm... 😬

You could use a VPN you know. It doesn't magically solve everything, but it improves things a lot.

Absolutely relays can see your IP

yeah VPN really advisable or run nostrudel client through TORbrowser, Brave/Tor or Firefox configured for onion.

Damn I should have my VPN on at all times...

Obviously the VPN service will then have your IP. It's good if you trust the VPN company more than the bunch of randos that run relays.

Yeah good point, I trust Mullvad because they have no information on me and I paid them with lightning 😉

They have your IP address. That's information about you.

Not just relays.

If your client automatically embeds images, without proxying, then anyone posting an image can trivially get your IP. If your client supports the outbox mode, then one can "trick" it into communicating it with any relay, including one designed specifically to obtain your IP.
