PSA: Some of you use nostr without a VPN and that's very very very bad. You should use a VPN, at all times, on you're phone and on your computer, especially on nodtr. Treat it as a gift to yourself and get one now, I recommend Mullvad, don't get a random VPN that is likely to be infiltrated by the gov.

Whatever I say I am willing to say on any platform. Even a physical one with a noose.

Wireguard is easily blocked, and it seems that Mullvad no longer works in Russia. For example, Proton only works in Russia with a modified version of Wireguard that they call Stealth.

very very very bad for whom exactly? I don't use nostr for anything personal (yet); so, protecting my privacy isn't really paramount. Other than that, is there some reason that I may not be considering why it's bad to use nostr without a VPN?

I don't like using Tor. It has always sucked for me. I use Mullvad all the time.

I hear you G. I use the built-in Brave VPN but am feeling it’s time to grow up. Will take a look at Mullvad

Your nostr connects to a million different servers run by hopefully your friends and, most of the time, it's trivial to correlate your npub to your IP.

But they accept BCH. Nope, thanks. 😉 Can't be serious ppl IMHO. btw: IVPN is government money (Cash and el.), Bitcoin, Monero, and government money, only Do you consider them a random VPN or acceptable?
