It does everything over tor by default, meaning to use one’s own relay running on it, the nostr client needs to be able to connect to a .onion relay address, right #[7] ?

Yes, your relay is already hosted on Tor. You need a client that can connect to relays over Tor, but mostly this is just a matter of configuring your browser properly.
#[6] can we add .onion relays to amethyst?
No idea. Can you?
I mean without orbot running as a tor vpn over whole phone
No, you have to have Orbot running for now. But you don't need to activate Orbot for all apps. If I understand correctly, you can select which apps you want to use it for.
Yes but phone can only do one vpn at a time and it’s currently being used for non tor, so would be awesome to have built in tor in this way 🙏 at your coding speed I bet it would take maybe 40 min 😅
you can use orbot tor-mode only
dont have to have orbot vpn turned on afaik, no?
I am not sure if it doesn't run in the same issue. The VPN setup is good because it remains alive. If we import a Tor library, the phone will kill the connection and thus every time somebody resumes the app it will take a few seconds to connect to Tor...
I turned on orbot and did NOT configure it to run in VPN mode and then I configured amethyst to use tor (on port 9050 which orbot is bound to by default) and it's working perfectly. None of the other traffic on my phone is going through tor.
Any app that is proxy-aware could send its traffic to port 9050 to use tor without the rest of the traffic on the phone using tor.
