Well. Dr. Hax is not impressed. nostr.cooking blocks Tor users so hard the web server just doesn't respond. I expected better from a site with "nostr" in the domain. For shame.

nostr:npub15u3cqhx6vuj3rywg0ph5mfv009lxja6cyvqn2jagaydukq6zmjwqex05rq Is this a host issue or something specifically set up on the server? If its the former may consider moving?
We have this hosted through Vercel, and this is the first I’ve encountered this issue. Appreciate you bringing this to our attention nostr:npub16v82nr4xt62nlydtj0mtxr49r6enc5r0sl2f7cq2zwdw7q92j5gs8meqha , will look into this asap. 🙏
Are others able to reproduce my results? I don't want to sound the alarm for nothing.
I did verify that I could load other sites in that same TorBrowser session, and it's unlikely an exit node would specifically block nostr.cooking, but it'd be good to have a sanity check.
im unable to access any of the following with Tor browser, but can access just fine over VPN
So Tor + VPN works, but Tor doesn’t? 🤔
Tor : fails
VPN -> Tor : fails
VPN : ok
Clear : ok
Ahhh got it. Thanks for the feedback! Exploring options for a different host. Any recommendations?
Maybe a Digital Ocean droplet? ($4/month. Ive never used DO so cant attest to it or Tor support)
FWIW, Corny Chat is hosted on Contabo VPS for about $7/month prepaid annually
You may consider 1984.hosting for better privacy
UPDATE: zap.cooking now supports Tor 🤙
Can confirm that as long as I get Cloudflare's permission, I can get to zap.cooking now (over Tor).
Unfortunately, I have some seed words that I'd like to log in with, but the site only accepts nsec, which I do not have and can't find a tool to generate it for me on a mobile phone.
I have been recommending https://nostrtool.com for the conversion. Will look at options to build into the site
This is all very new and we are learning and exploring. Appreciate your feedback 💜
