 Nostr can be extremely dangerous for people not using VPNs/Tor, because they loads images from any URL.
So someone who needs to capture the IP of someone, can simply link to the victim an image-powered "IP grabber/logger" to get the IP of the victim. 
 How do we circumvent this so even people not using orbot or a vpn may be safe? In a social network anyone should not just so easily get someones ip just because we're all using nostr.

I would love for someone to abuse this to have to force the devs to step up in protection to not want people to go make a new social neteork which would be better & safer then nostr. Unless that person doesn't learn.
