Perhaps someone can do a writeup on the main source(s) of pain when it comes to Tor relay support. Fixing that (all over the place) might be a good grant topic? nostr:note1mwrm0hffg7pswdtuhmcjk9qeuf7m67j3jvj6chufcvhxzmfr2mpsefxl54

A lot of relays are behind cloudflare or use other reverse software that protects the server by rejecting connections such as VPNs and Tor among other things. nostr:npub16r0tl8a39hhcrapa03559xahsjqj4s0y6t2n5gpdk64v06jtgekqdkz5pl once shared this which explains how to update Cloudflare.

I should probably go through my relay list and remove the ones that use CloudFlare - and probably pay for ones that don't.
I totally understand its utility - and I get that info on relays is public anyway - but it's as close to just having the NSA run a relayer as one can get. Especially if you let them handle SSL encryption.
Bitcoin, Lightning and Nostr deserves something better than Tor. Some fast modern mixnet would be nice..
