Oddbean new post about | logout
 I use it as a desktop browser client which is running as a self hosted app on one of my private Start9OS DIY devices.  Then setup/config nostr accounts and off to the races like a nice desktop app.  So instead of using one of the also fantastic public web Nostr websites....I can now use a locally hosted one.  So playing with it recently.  I have been trying to also use the Start9OS nostr relay app...but I'm having issues with my client apps reaching it via the TOR and even internal LAN wss/URL addresses....so no luck yet on that as a nostr backup relay for all my nostr data.   
 Might be a dumb question, but is your browser configured for onion addresses and do you have tor hidden service running on your pc? 
 Are you asking about me using nostrudel setup or my issues with my personal nostr relay?  For nostrudel, using local lan URL not onion to connect to the nostrudel app.  For relay issue it was trying to connect mobile apps and gossip desktop to the relay not web browser. 
 You mentioned issues connecting thru tor. That is what I am asking about. The browser you use on your pc to connect to start9 needs to be configured for it and you need tor hidden service running in background of the pc for that to be possible.  
 I was probably overreaching my initial first use of nostr. Already had Start9OS appliance working and using tor to its other services...so installed nostr relay service.  Have Orbot running on mobile.  Then tried to setup Amethyst on mobile running CalyxOS and add the onion via WS://  
 I'm circling back to test out some other settings.  I'm going into Orbot to specifically select the nostr apps.  I'm going into Mullvad vpn to specifically exclude (split tunnel) the same nostr apps.
