I've set up a Tor hidden service with a local Citrine relay running on my phone and added it to my DM relays.
You can now message me on nostr through Tor by directly connecting to my phone.

Here is how I got #citrine to work as both a local relay and as an exposed onion service as outbox relay on my phone. Thanks to @Ryan for the idea!
Download Citrine and start as local relay
Open Orbot
Tap more
Tap onion hosted services
Tap user services
Tap +
Add any name to service
Add 4869 to both ports
Hit save
Exit from orbot
Restart orbot by closing out or force close
Restart orbot and connect orbot vpn again
Tap hosted services and copy new onion url
Open #Amethyst and go to relays
Add ws://yournewonionaddress. onion:4869 to outbox relay
Remove any other outbox relay
Hit save

I love it when an incredible use case is sitting right there, and you just need to configure the software correctly 💜🤙
This is all you! Credit for the idea goes to you!
I just want the idea to spread, and be improved on. Great post 😎👌
Working 
Ask dumb questions, because maybe the answer is incredible.

Just post the note, don't overthink it!
Use both, and have had no problems. Thank you for the amazing work!
Here's 2 dumb feature requests for citrine:
1. Pie chart of kind types. Maybe the pie slices look like orange segments idk.
2. Expose relay as a Tor service externally. I'm not sure if this is possible on mobile, but it would be great for censorship resistance combined with the outbox model I think.

I will believe dis if you got my nip17 from gossip 🙏
I don't understand what this means, but it's provocative and I love it!

Shinobi in shambles 
this is incredible
Is there a NIP to link this personal tor relay to a nostr username? 👀
Is it working on iPhone?

Now add that relay to your DM's and now you two have a more "private" method of DM's

Could you still read messages on your phone if you did this using an old phone that you leave at home (to address battery life concerns)? Either way, this is really cool.
.. is he suggesting x does ?
@Shinobi
I wouldn't set it as my only outbox, I also use others. This is more of a l last ditch effort to make sure your notes can get out.
Outbox protocol works by clients knowing where your outbox is located, this information is part of your profile. They don't need to be configured, a client will connect automatically to the relay to retrieve your notes. This is all a work in progress as well, so ymmv
It also works for DM

Also he's basically wrong because we are a hydra. You can't really ban all relays.
classic case of NDS
Hey @Shinobi you're wrong!
imagine preferring to snuggle daddy elon and all the glorious kyc’d fRe3dum
Don't push too hard, gotta push just the right amount to nerd snipe 😂
😅👌
