gm #nostriches I am trying to connect my umbrel relay to my list of relays. Are there any step by step instructions available?
one thing thats confusing is the format of my umbrel relay URL starts ws:// but the format in my amethyst client starts wss:// any suggestions would be great.

All i did was one click on that "planet" icon and then write my nip05 adress.
If you don't have this icon update the nostr node with umbrel web portal
wss is for using ssl
ws is for not
ok, so does this mean there is a work around or it cannot be done as Im trying?
ws:// is not encrypted. wss:// is encrypted Think of it as http and https in this regard.
The Umbrel Nostr relay will only work with devcies on your home network/ WiFi. To access the relay while you're outside your home, you can use Tailscale. It's a private VPN. You would need to install this on your node and on your phone. Then launch the Tailscale app before your Nostr client. Then you'd be able to access it.
I added a NAT rules on my router for external access, is that a security issue?
(added also a dyn dns to avoid dynamic wan IP)
you're allowing anyone in the world to access your relay that's running on the same device as your bitcoin node. i personally would not do that. i don't do that now. that's up to you though.
Derek, I killed it, the think I love most in the world.
You killed a hooker, Amanda?

It doesn’t matter anymore. I’ve moved on.
Who did you move on to? A different client?
I have the tailscale on my android and umbrel. I must be missing something still. Im on my home wifi. I guess I have more tinkering to do. thanks for the insights.
you'll need to change your relay on amethyst to be ws://umbrel:port i forget the umbrel relay port. don't put in your umbrel IP address or umbrel.local. it needs to be the tailscale DNS name.
Im gonna make a video on this when I get it figured out. Im sure its some minor thing thats not clear to me yet.
