The other way round: it allows you to access services like a Cashu mint via nostr, without having to connect to the service directly via TCP/IP.

We're going to use this to make Cashu mints available to wallets directly on nostr so operators don't need to doxx their IP or get DNS. 

We've looked into numerous alternatives, none of them are as simple as Nostr (e.g. work from within the browser). However, Tor provides much better privacy. This is not a privacy tool.
