PSA: Some of you use nostr without a VPN and that's very very very bad. You should use a VPN, at all times, on you're phone and on your computer, especially on nodtr. Treat it as a gift to yourself and get one now, I recommend Mullvad, don't get a random VPN that is likely to be infiltrated by the gov.

very very very bad for whom exactly? I don't use nostr for anything personal (yet); so, protecting my privacy isn't really paramount. Other than that, is there some reason that I may not be considering why it's bad to use nostr without a VPN?

Yes, there are a million reasons why you should use a VPN at all times.

I'd love to have a better understanding of the risks I could face for using Nostr without a VPN.

Many thanks in advance!

Your nostr connects to a million different servers run by hopefully your friends and, most of the time, it's trivial to correlate your npub to your IP.

Very true. Someone posts an image for example and your client will connect to that server to try to load it. You have no idea what that server is or who’s running it.

Not like other social apps where you’re only connecting to the Twitter or instagram server for example
