#asknostr I read somewhere that relays leak or have access to your IP address when using #nostr … true or false?
Just trying to understand the true aspects of privacy here…especially in a time when this is paramount.
Thanks for any insights and best practices in advance
There are tor relays btw. Just throwing that out there. And tor mode on amethyst. But I'm not sure that answers you question.... I can't answer your question. I'm to silly:)
True, you have to request events from the relay so it knows your IP. Just like accessing a website.
Until we have a way to connect to one another on the internet other than TCP/IP, EVERYTHING sees whatever IP address you are presenting it with, whether that it is yours, your VPN provider's, or that of a Tor exit node (if I understand correctly how Tor works).
Nostr is not an exception.
