 nice! I built one too because I am a javascript disrespector 😝

but I need nip-42 auth because I want to whitelist users.

 Agreed, javascript is bad and AUTH is critical. Let's go!

 I understand the situation.

1. Realistically it's a good solution.

2. If the problem is bandwidth, ideally, Negentropy or any syncing protocol is a more elegant solution. Weaken the client, the edge, weaken the decentralization.

 I would imagine negentropy on a client would create too much latency for on-demand content. But it's definitely important for powering proxies/dvms

 I think it depends on perspective/use-case. I love the decentralized network of relays. I just want to connect to it from a single point, in the cloud, on a server I control. this has a few benefits for me:
- not doxing my ip, no vpn
- less bandwidth 
- very fast

 - better for offline/offgrid clients
- can even be interacted with over an ssh tunnel

 Good point. I did not consider these use cases.
