Nostr Web Client

I'm just now getting into VPN usage and I'm surprised how not straight forward it is.

So I paid NordVPN and downloaded these ovpn files and set my network manager to use these but to my surprise, IPv6 leaks my real location/country even if I disable IPv6 in the network manager for both the wired and the vpn connection? How can it be that easy to screw up VPN usage in 2025?

You could try Obscura: https://obscura.net

Given Carl Dong's involvement they should have a reproducibly built client soon(tm).

I don't get why VPN providers all want me to run their software? Aren't they just "glorified relays" as nostr:npub17fnzd22p3xu5tg8sz343d38c5m8dxxe4npyyx0akxphc6mhvxessuw5ksh put it?

Do they all? I can imagine it's easier for users, and provides better vendor lock-in, than to tell them to users to download something else and enter configuration(s) for every entry and exit point.
