Nostr Web Client

How is this any better than TOR? Genuine question? Maybe I should look into this deeper, but the idea onion routing solved was an better way to obfuscate traffic, to break packet and timing coordination.

I have no idea. I don't even really understand tor or VPNs.

That's why I'm asking you guys about it. 🤷‍♀️

Well maybe nostr:npub1yevrvtp3xl42sq06usztudhleq8pdfsugw5frgaqg6lvfdewfx9q6zqrkl could help me out!

OHTTP uses pre-defined routes and doesn’t have its own separate consensus mechanism so it’s far far simpler than Tor

The problem I see with tor (and VPN) is that it requires the end user to implement it. I'm looking for something that is maybe not quite as secure, but therefore baked into the core functionality.

Privacy for dummies.

That’s exactly what OHTTP lets you do. Clients can bake in that they only connect to relays over OHTTP and relays can be unreachable without it. And it doesn’t take 30s to start like Tor.
