I've been working on a nip42 auth proxy for strfry (Or any relay). I tricked it out for working with the relay tools API and multiple subdomains, but it can easily work with a static auth list or something like that with some modifications. It's working pretty well so far and live as a feature for any relay.tools relays. Example at auth.nostr1.com https://github.com/relaytools/interceptor
There's also fiatjaf's khatru, natively supports nip42:

@mleku is also working on a heavily modified khatru for performance called replicatr I think he is releasing it soonish..
That’s cool! There is an issue for NIP-42 implementation in strfry, but there hasn’t been a bunch of work on it:

nostr:npub19mc0en74540rd0ytuwjjtswwjleqa2a2jnnfmqh7hltyrk2gps6skpz875 was going to work on it, but I haven’t heard from him in a few months.
Yeah I think the problem is, once you start implementing nip42 auth you start to realize all the different ways you might want your authentication scheme to work.. I think that's part of why it was hard to do in strfry, the vision wasn't clear. With this proxy, we can prototype how we want it and maybe later the popular ideas for auth schemes will become more clear.
