Use nostrproxy
Interesting. Are you referring to Nostr Proxy by Dolu?
How would your average user go about setting this up? Take an idiot like me for example, I'm using Damus on iOS. Is there a single proxy relay I should connect to? Or do I need to install this on my system?
reply
I'm sure people will start setting up paid proxies as well, that connect to other paid relays.

It's planned for me. I just need to finish to fix perf issues before adding custom relays
reply
yes, you can use the public proxy at https://nproxy.zerologin.co if you want, but you wont be able to use the paid relays. Which is fine.

Holy smokes, look at that. Amazing. Can anyone here verify that this works? I'm assuming you get all the same data you'd get as if you were connecting to all relays independently. Does it improve performance?
reply
Yes, your client is naturally way faster because its only trying to pull from 1 relay/proxy. Now if your proxy is running on dual core intel from 2008, then it will not be faster lol.. the client will be but the proxy will be slow to pull.

yes ive tested the public proxy with a new key, not my main.. works pretty flawless so far. I have tested the private relay too but not with paid relays yet.. Have not had time yet.
