I have friends on here that are in Iran but they don’t want their account’s to be publicized just yet.

Safety first, please advise them to always connect here in Damus using Tor.
They don’t use Damus!!! And always using a VPN,
What is a good TOR client for IOS that allows Damus to work?
How does the Global work on Tor? Is it too slow?
I use Orbot, and yes it is so slow.
If you want to use Tor with a VPN, ProtonVPN offers this, this can be practical but forget anonymity if you are doing this, since all your traffic will be routed through your VPN servers
So can I assume that Express is a waist of time and money?
Thanks! You also mentioned TOR. I still occasionally use the Onion Browser, do you have a better recommendation to try?

Tor Browser is the official client, and it’s the best I think.
That’s my subconscious talking about Damus instead of Nostr, because it’s the client I use the most. 😅
VPNs do not provide anonymity, they only shift trust to your VPN provider, and hide your traffic from your ISP.
Tor is what should be used if your friends are looking for anonymity
Here is a useful link to see if you need a VPN or Tor for your usage :
