So I asked the Google AI about this and it said :
To run a censorship-resistant Nostr relay, you need a "DMCA-ignored" or "offshore" VPS provider operating out of a privacy-friendly jurisdiction.
...
Or, run your own node on your own hardware using free and open source software.
Crucial Steps for an Uncensored Nostr Relay:
- buy an inexpensive used PC
- install @Start9 or @Umbrel ☂️ for an easy App Store experience
- install a Nostr relay app from the App Store
- use Tor for all communication to/from your node and/or relay
Or…
- install a Linux OS
- torify the OS to use either torsocks or transparent proxy for all WAN traffic
- install Git or Docker
- install whatever open source Nostr relay you want to use
Result:
- you don’t need a VPS or VPN
- no monthly subscriptions
- you own the hardware and full stack
- you are private, self sovereign, and ungovernable
- the only con is while this setup does offer technical privacy and safeguards, it might not offer you the strongest legal safeguards (not legal advice)
