My Start9 has Nostr RS Relay downloaded and running.

I have converted my npub to hex and whitelisted it.

Health checks are a green light.

Why can’t I use the ws://

.onion Nostr relay websocket URL in any Nostr clients?

Doesn’t seem to matter what Nostr client I use. None of them connect to the relay.

What am I doing wrong?

Not so sure it’s you. Some I can’t while it works in others. I believe it’s dependent on client and device. Ex: Damus accepts ws:// while Primal does not, but I believe you may also have to have Orbot. Although it may not be client-side at all.

Were you able to successfully add it in Damus as a test?

Anyone want to weigh in on their experience @Start9 running Nostr Relay over Tor?

It connects on Damus but that’s been the only one. I don’t see it as a win getting it to connect there because Damus deleted zap functionality after Apple leaned on them.

More as a test so at least you know you’ve got it setup properly. Not sure if nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg has plans to accept Tor or not.
