 How to keep this proxy relay address private? Does anybody can connect to this proxy relay silently if they know the address ?  
 In config.js, You put your public key in `authorized_keys` array. After restart, bostr will only allow users in `authorized_keys` to use the bouncer.

However, You need to ensure that NIP-42 is supported in your client. Otherwise the bouncer will not doing anything for you during authentication.

Additionally, You could enable internal NIP-42 for NIP-42 relays for your own use by inserting public & private key in `private_keys`. 
 It works when left authorized -keys empty, but Every time I added key to authorized_keys, seems it doesn’t work.🤔️ 
 Did your client supports NIP-42? I've tested this funcion in #Amethyst client. 
 Ok,thanks. It work in snort web client. Seems most clients donot support nip-42. 
 By the way, about the bounce, can it bounce to local host, like ws://127.0.0.1:port  
 It could bounce to wherever you want to. 
 I think so, but failed🤔️ 
 How so?

If you want to debug, You could enable `log_about_relays` in config.js to see whenever the bouncer connects to your relay or no. 
 Sorry, saw the configuration in the file. Can whitelist

// For personal usage. Leaving this empty allows everyone to use this bostr instance.
  // NOTE: Requires NIP-42 on client.
  authorized_keys: [
    // "pubkey-in-hex",
    // "npub ....",
    // ....
  ],
