Announcing: Nostr Proxy
I'm back with a new little project I made today
Nostr Proxy
Nostr Proxy is a new (and experimental) way to use Nostr.
Instead of setting up a bunch of your favorite relays every time you use a new Nostr client (because let's be honest, new clients with a better UI are popping every minutes), you can add only one => Your proxy
The proxy will broadcast events to its connected relays and send back to you all the responses.
Pros:
-
Your client is faster because connected to only 1 relay
-
You don't leak your client IP to X relays. Relays only see your proxy IP
Cons:
-
You can't use a public proxy if you are registered to paid relays
-
other ?
The project is really basic and not battle tested. The source code is available on Github (github.com/dolu89/nostr-proxy)
A public instance is available at https://nproxy.zerologin.co.
Host your own proxy, especially if you are registered to paid relays.
