I was talking with my friend about #Mitnick's death (my friend is a sort of hacker too) and he asked an interesting question: Do you know how many honeypot relays are on Nostr? I said I don't know and I don't care because I always use VPN. But he said a lot of people not... 👀 (He said this with an interesting smile, but he didn't want to disclose any more information) Please use a good VPN service, it's not so expensive. 🙏🤙

Let's say there is a "honeypot relay". Beyond capturing the IP in access logs and trying to match that to an event timestamp, what more would be a concern? I'd just treat any relay the same as any clearnet service, like an ISP. Except the relay is only seeing a fraction of what you're do as it's only notes. If anything, I'd be more paranoid of the VPN provider...

I would never trust my ISP mostly because I know how they handle my data (have friends there) when they receive a simple E-mail (not a warrant) from my government. But I know for sure that in other (2-3) countries the routine is the same. They just simply give out bulk data based on any governmental request.
