Yes it is, using paid relays doesn't make any practical sense

They will say paid relays filter spam and ads.... What ads if you are using damus or amethyst or snort of iris? None, and regarding the spam, it is mainly for the global view and choosing the right public relays is enough....

Last but not least most users that use paid relays do not understand that by using a pay relay that filters the messages they are losiing the real experience of uncensored messaging, if they want a filtered censored messaging app, what for they want NOSTR, better to use twitter or FB...

Install your own relay, many are doing it already using Umbrel

Not your relay, not your data, no freedomof speech, be uncensorable

Correct, unless you use a dedicated IP address and do port forward in the router to yourr node you won't be able on remote. Maybe in the future we will have a clinwt with TOR capability, thus, we can use the relay as intended

Locally you are able, if you login to your relay from localhoat (using your local IP) , you will get the relay address with the port to add in Amethyst or damus . obviously it will work only on your WiFi, while remote it won't

And forgot to mention, if you are using Amethyst, just turn off the globe in the relay from damus, simple setup and your spam, if any, is prettyy much gone
