If your client supports NIP-42 AUTH, consider adding an option to turn it on/off per individual relay.

I think there are many great use cases for AUTH (protecting some/all REQs) but always responding to any AUTH from any relay can exacerbate the user/relay privacy problem.

Interesting. Thats a good idea indeed.

Yes its a must have feature. If you want to build pseudo anonymous network you should not automatically disclose your credentials

P.S. I’m still looking for client which supports NIP-42, iris.to didn’t work for me - https://github.com/irislib/iris-messenger/issues/430

I know Amethyst, Snort, and Coracle work. Iris worked at one point.

Most of the web apps seem to connect to some default relays regardless of your list though.
