That’s a bummer. I always connected thru Mullvad.

just use a paid relay like nostr.wine or the damus purple relay when its out.

Purple relay would be nice. Don’t wanna pay just for the relay service at this stage.

VPN use is a good practice for nostr imo for regular people to connect to regular relays if they don't want to leak their IP. in your design when a spammer uses the same vpn IP with other legit users, all the people that uses that vpn IP gets banned in many relays. thats not ideal.

on nostr if a user is banned he or she does not know what is happening if the client is not letting him know things are bad, and when he is not getting any reaction to posts he may quit. a user banned in many relays will think this sucks, i should go back to twitter.

I'll stop using nostr if public relays ban VPNs

you can run your own public relay and not ban VPNs

Won't spammers generally use cloud resources? Or are we including those in the VPN group?

I suspect it will get to that stage, and then I will have to start temp banning ip ranges.
