The proxy is also used for contacts in the case of filter.nostr.wine, in fact you can test it by putting only that relay and you will get many contacts.
relay.nostr.band also acts as a proxy and gets contacts but it limits the query.

Yes that’s what I thought so what Kevin is saying makes no sense
Yes. Many contacts but sometimes not all right? So why is that? Do the relays, that have the info, not share it?
