I turned on internal tor routing for everything except video streaming in Amethyst and can't say I even notice any performance degradation! 🤯
Yep same. I love it
Waiting for someone to find out that it was never using TOR underneath and that is why the performance is so good. 🥶
My immediate thought, too. On the other hand, nostr is great for async processing. Once the events are in cache, network delay or bandwidth simply don't matter anymore.
I'm curious for your thoughts on this: Whenever an app offers integrated TOR support, I would not trust it to use it for all requests as I had worked for a product that had introduced TOR but then forgot about maintaining it, so new devs connected to new servers forgetting about TOR. Using TOR to completely proxy all traffic for an app should strictly provide more reliable privacy ... unless that doesn't play well with integrated TOR support which might choose a new circuit under certain conditions which the proxy cannot know when to do.
Reminds me of a joke. An american farmer visited Switzerland and was surprised about the small farms. He talked to a swiss farmer and claimed he needs three days to drive around his property. The swiss farmer just said "I once had a shit car like that too"
Is this something Damus can implement?
