Chorus supports AUTH and prompts everybody with an AUTH when they first connect.
But it doesn't require AUTH to read. If they issue a REQ, it responds. It doesn't check if they AUTHed first.
It only checks if they AUTHed as an allowed user for writing events (in most but not all cases). Read the docs for the details.
"It accepts events that tag your users, but doesn't allow the public to read them back until they have passed moderation and until then, only your users (after being authenticated) can see them"
(I understand that I don't fully understand, sorry)
I don't know if this is the case, I think it's personal relay, not open_relay
yes
