 No, they don't have to do any special forwarding - peers just use REQ to subscribe to the requests/replies they need. Nip46 describes it pretty well.

 well, i don't think it really solves any problem tbh

yes i read through the NIP and it's overly complicated considering it's just a proxy protocol

i remember actually suggesting the idea not long ago that NIP-42 auth should use encryption known only to the recipient and vice versa, which would enable proxying the signatures, and then i read today, i mean, i can't spend all my time reading all these things - that the content of NIP-46 messages are NIP-4 encrypted messages. well, duh, but funny in a way as well

i think nostr suffers from too many elements where two or more domains are jammed together into one protocol, tags on events, for example, and how many other NIPs involve using NIP-4, which is supposedly deprecated? for which use? DMs only, but NIP-46 apparently not

typical beginner architectural mistakes, mixing up features into one section and then when it turns out that is inconvenient, no way to separate them, and/or nobody adopts the isolated version because integrated version exists, which should never have been there in the first place

 You may or may not be right, my point is that nsecbunker doesn't need any tunnels and can work on your phone.
