Subnostr

If you only write to your own private relay and then broadcast, can the other relays see your IP Address?

Websocket - yes.

Well, was a nice thought.

You'd need to run a blaster on a vps somewhere.

I disagree. if ip1 writes to ip2, and ip2 forwards the note to many relays, ip1 is only known to ip2.

So, I could make my relay a blaster and keep my IP private?

consider the following setup: a client like Damus on your phone and a vps running blastr. your npub has a single relay defined, your blastr vps.

when you post a note, only your vps will see your phone’s ip. the upstream relays that blastr connects to will only see your vps ip.

I’d like it if you didn’t have to announce the blastr. Client keeps it local like any other proxy setting

yup you could do that with some additional networking
