why can't it stop blockchain transactions nor IPFS? didn't know about such firewall, will read about it ⚡
Discussion
Because the firewall was built to block things by IP address, and that doesn't help when the content is coming from a distributed network that doesn't depend on IP addresses.
Can nostr work on top of this Network?

I don't know what we are talking about. IPFS uses TCP/IP. It is DNS that it doesn't use. The great firewall blocks at the IP layer. Unless you want to use ham radio or ieee80211s mesh networking they can block any traffic on the Internet once they know about it.
It's for the same reason why torrent files can be shared across the firewall, because the Internet is designed to keep trying to find and exploit any and all connections. It doesn't depend on a single trunk that can be blocked.
