We can also scramble some relay connections and randomize them: some via tor, others clearnet.

Or maybe only Auth via Tor.

Or maybe only Auth and send events via Tor.

So many options... 🤔

In the Tor configurations "torrc" has the configuration to isolate port and host from the current Tor IP, it is perfect for scrambling traffic.

Ok, it seems that the option of activating Tor for .onion relays is the bare minimum we should do.

The question is now, as a project, do we want to offer more privacy straight out of the box or not.

I am leaning towards also using Tor for:

1. Relays gathered from the Outbox model that are not in the user's relay list.

2. All relays that require Auth (no IP-Pubkey link)

3. All DM relays

By default.

More ideas are welcome.

Vitor, enable Snowflake brigdes if you want to make Amethyst privacy-friendly. Snowflake is perfect for circumventing censorship.

We need a Nostr-based "Brave" Browser

(built-in ad, tracker, fingerprint blocking).

Tor mode (Orbot) has a traffic analysis vulnerability, making it possible for anyone on the network to see that you are using #Nostr. This bug in Amethyst must be fixed urgently.
