Seems some dont realize that nostr relays are powered by http. The first call to a relay is an http request which is then "upgraded" to a websocket (connection). Given that it's http, it just works, can get through a firewall, where most p2p fails. Many dont realize this, in fact, fiatjaf didnt even realize this, until I explained it to him. The http part is what gives nostr a chance of working where p2p inevitablly fails.
