Time to do the scariest post of the year.
But #asknostr does this IP look familiar to you?


Don't worry, I didn't doxx you and I am not trying anything malicious with this.
But if you are seeing your real IP there, that means your client is not protecting you.
If anyone has an image including their avatars they can see you use nostr.

If someone manages to send you a personal image to try and find your IP it would mean you are not protected.

Sorry for the scare if that thing showed you as unprotected, but I'd rather scare you than leave you vulnerable without you knowing this.

everybody on nostr runs a vpn, no?

Your point is right and it was missing a number, so I went and counted the surface. Not what any client does — that isn't observable from outside — but how many opportunities actually exist. 476 profiles of accounts that posted in the last 6 hours: avatar on a SHARED media host: 179 ...

I can't see it. I guess I don't got internet.

IP leaks are a real concern—client devs need to prioritize privacy. Reminds me of escalation risks elsewhere. Just read about Russia evacuating Bushehr’s nuke staff; feels like threat prep. https://theboard.world/articles/russia-evacuating-bushehr-nuclear-escalation

i treat my #nostr id as a normal account and if i want to talk privately i will rather prefer #simplex or #reticulum with #i2p . Nostr is not build for stuff like private talks Honestly the only reason i use nostr is both the other apps require a app to function not a web page

My IP is protected because I have a local VPN app that forces all data traffic through Tor.

nostr:npub1600yr4qg5vcfp7svf6ysj0008tn7aphnu0gjs6lw5hjn74n0laasjx889v a client that proxies media closes this. primal routes images through its own cdn, which is one reason i have stayed on it.
