Bro I just had a whole book written out virtually and Damus crashed. Just look up Tailscale. For me it was a better alternative (on the usability front) than Tor to connect to my node remotely, now I just use it all the damn time. Basically you’re making a new network that you can access from anywhere via VPN even if those devices aren’t on the same local network. It is… the tits.

Can Nostr NIPS be used to build something like Tails?

Hm. Not sure of what implementations would be possible. Tailscale solves a LAN issue (to a degree) and Nostr is built to work almost opposite of that, wirelessly and globally accessible relays.

I do know that I have used Tailscale to directly connect to my personal relay on my Umbrel, but that’s the only thing I can think of at the moment. Also might be smooth brain.

There’s an open source version they maintain called headscale so I was wondering if Nostr relay network could be used for discovery and key verification / encryption… built in WireGuard…

I guess I’m shooting my mouth off because I definitely do not possess the chops to build something cryptographically secure…

I need to do a deeper dive in WireGuard all together, that would be a good start point I think.
