Interesting. What does the hash represent? How does it bypass the home NAT?

I also think https://holesail.io/ is an interesting project for large traffic.

But for #IoT devices, http-over-nostr would be the best. All kind of Arduino/ESP32 projects can easily connect to websockets, so they could serve simple “websites” for configuration and operation.

It bypasses NAT by using a message bus instead of direct p2p communication. A Nostr relay is that middleman and you probably want to run your own relay, so that needs to be accessible past the NAT (could be hosted on a VPS, or you could spam someone else's relay).

The hash is the hash of the data you're requesting. You have to be running a local IPFS node or Brave will run one for you.
