New TOR relay added to the list! Nerostrator is a paid relay (XMR) and is operated by nostr:npub19j7zhftjfjnep4xa7zxhevschkqdvem9zr26dq4myhu6d62p3gqs3htnca.

I've also added a payment options column to the list to make it easier to see what options you have for each relay.

Whats your performance experience been with loading notes only (no media) on tor relays only (no clearnet relays)?

I don't use it regularly but events usually load pretty fast in my experience. Might be a bit slower inital connection though (couple of seconds).

outbox model will connect you to clearnet relays anyway - at least for reading.

Using coracle in tor browser and all good

Didnt know this.

So if I am using a native nostr or web app with only Tor relays, and this app supports outbox, the privacy benefits are lost?

Well not entirely, as long as all your connections go over Tor, the clearnet nostr relay connections will go through multiple Tor relays and then a Tor exit relay before it connects to the clearnet nostr relay. It will probably look something like this : Your Tor traffic -> Tor relay -> Tor Relay -> Tor exit node -> clearnet nostr relay.

And yes, If your native app sends some requests over clearnet and some over TOR, you'd pretty much lose the privacy benefits

kind of looks like coracle ignores my tor relays completely,

but nostrudel seem to work wonders
