As much as I love the nostr:npub1w0rthyjyp2f5gful0gm2500pwyxfrx93a85289xdz0sd6hyef33sh2cu4x concept, in that it's a solution to a problem I have as a content creator, it literally never loads... (mobile or desktop)

Could this be because I am sitting in Australia?

australia has a great firewall now doesn't it?

most countries have government blocks on stuff now

like rutracker.org can't be seen from portugal, but via my wireguard tunnel to bulgaria i can see it just fine

and then, the other day, i had a site blocked in bulgaria, but turn off the tunnel and works from portugal

hooray for VPNs lol

VPN or not I get the same result annoyingly

you need to get a VPN that goes outside of australia

i cannot recommend enough wireguard as a basic first step to getting out from a restrictive network... if you know SSH and bash shell stuff you can set up something with a cheap VPS anywhere in the world, even set up multiple, for liek $5/month, and be able to appear wherever you want on the internet to the rest of the world

i get a lot of cloudflare captchas on some sites but i also rarely see a "this site is blocked yada yada" message

i take solace in the fact that the more governments try to stop messages passing across the wires the more incentive there is for other governments to turn a blind eye to letting traffic transit them since that profits their treasury

and that global government is never going to sell. end of.

Need to get better at this
