I've been brainstorming of a way to adapt Tor's Snowflake proxy approach, but for allowing users to access nostr in countries that are blocking/censoring access to either web clients or relays.

The gist of the idea is that say for example a user in China is trying to access nostr: anyone would be able to host a nostr proxy that then connects that user in China to an assortment of relays, but all their ISP would see is that they're connected to wss:// *random generated relay address*

The challenging part is there would need to be a way for all these proxy addresses to be compiled and accessible to that user without involving pinging a centralized URL/API that can just be blocked.

The proxy itself could be a modified fork of nostr-proxy, since that already does the "connect to many other relays to read/write on behalf of the user" part.

Similarly, if we make it as easy as clicking a button in order to deploy a web client like Snort or Iris on the cloud, and then have an automatically compiled list of all the Snort/Iris instances deployed, then a user could better avoid blocking of the web clients too.
