 I have a static ip and don’t use VPN. I’m curious what people think are the downsides of this setup. People can see i’m using nostr a lot ? Not that shocking.

 I’m thinking about people with pseudonyms, If you have more than one account, wouldn’t it have the same ip address and dox you

 Same here, but to play devil’s advocate, you also aren’t going for anonymity.

 it's mostly an opsec leak, people can see where you are (sometimes quite precise) by geolocating your IP
it also allows correlation with other services you might be using, especially if you run other P2P software on the same IP
for defense in depth reasons i absolutely use a VPN for all nostr related things
