Nostr Web Client

You can run a bostr, it's a relay multiplexer where you can configure the relays to connect to and you can just read and write from them proxifying you connection, and also have nop-42 for auth so you don't need to worry for this. You can run this in a cheap vps payed in btc and if you connect just to your multiplexer the relay just would see the ip of the bostr. Also have another advantage that it's trim bandwidth since it decouples the events for you

Yeah, that's definitely one solution. But how many normal people are going to do something that complicated? 0.

Ultimately, you still have to be running a VPN. Otherwise your ISP can see the requests going to your Bostr on the VPS. Ultimate truth is that there is only so much you can do to lead a horse to water.

We should all strive to run software and services and businesses that respect user privacy as much as possible and track as little identifying data on them as possible. The real trick would be figuring out how to structure the incentives for businesses such that they really don't want your private info. E.g. it makes their businesses easier or more profitable without it...

The same when you use VPN. Your ISP will know it anyway. In fact, It's easily able to caught just by reading the header byte of the connection.

Of course your ISP still knows that you are connecting to bostr. But do they even care about this anyway? Mostly did not due to large amount of customers.

Even so, Packets are still secured with TLS. So you do not really need to worry about it.
