Nostr on Tor works! I just spun up a noStrudel hidden service: http://a2zmtsslt7g7v5shssufp4uuh7wvr7betxglxf4fbtcxpejrvr7qmwid.onion It may take some time to load for the first time, so be patient! Make sure to use only Tor relays on the app, like so: image Media upload is, at the time of this post, failing because of some restrictive configuration on the side of nostr.build, so, as a workaround, you may want to upload your files manually to an alternative service that doesn't block Tor, such as https://envs.sh , which will return a link that you can copy and paste on your noStrudel post. Good luck on your Tor adventures!

nos2x works for me, with it I don't have to trust the client and I can have more granular control of what I sign.

There are already two free relays on Tor: ws://bitcoinr6de5lkvx4tpwdmzrdfdpla5sya2afwpcabjup2xpi5dulbad.onion ws://oxtrdevav64z64yb7x6rjg4ntzqjhedm5b5zjqulugknhzr46ny2qbad.onion The missing link was, at least for us noStrudel users, the client. Now we are able to have a fully private Tor experience - client + relays.

I'll never use web apps or even something like React Native when there's a solid open source Kotlin app available.

Doesn't onion relays break the outbox model? If clearnet users try to write in your inbox relays, they will fail. If they follow you and want to get your notes, they will try your outbox relays and will also fail...

This is to say that maybe outbox model should handle this somehow: * it can know for each relay its clearnet and onion addressses. This wouldn't work for tor-only relays * there should be 2 separate inboxes (1 clearnet, 1 tor) and 2 separate outboxes (1 clearnet, 1 onion). This sounds like overcomplicating it. * every client should be capable of using a tor socks5 proxy to connect to onion relays (ideal, but hard to enforce)

This is a feature IMO. I don't wanna talk to clearnet users. It can be solved with a bridge bot which will write to the onion relay. There's a fedi relay that does something similar.

Excellent. We'll solve the problem when it actually appears then. The fediverse bridge should be a priority now, cause those folks are the most likely to join.

One more, this maintained by me, and not very powerful yet, but still an option: ws://pzfw4uteha62iwkzm3lycabk4pbtcr67cg5ymp5i3xwrpt3t24m6tzad.onion:81

Cloudflare breaks the outbox model for us, Tor and VPN users. Nobody seems to care. This is a problem that has more to do with the centralized nature of the internet and its infrastructure, and less with the protocol. I'm trying to create a solution, I got something in the making, but without funding it's almost impossible.
