as much as i like developments regarding nostr, i think relays will need to choose a path after this:

1. a queryble data store / note store with a big db
2. being a tor node with a short db

i am leaning towards 1 and i am happy to serve as 1. not much inspiration towards 2.

I'm excited to announce the first release of NWS, a resilient connectivity solution that leverages NOSTR as a transport for TCP. NWS enables seamless communication between devices without public IP addresses. Below are the key features introduced in this release:

- **Exit Node Internet Relay:** Exit nodes can relay public internet traffic, allowing entry nodes to access the internet using the exit node's outgoing IP address.

- **.nostr Domain Support:** NWS now supports `.nostr` domains, which are valid RFC 1035 domains. This feature ensures compatibility with most existing clients.

- **Reverse TCP Connect Mode:** We've added a reverse TCP connect mode where the exit node initiates a TCP connection to the public entry node upon receiving a request. This mode utilizes NOSTR for service discovery while forwarding data packets through the reverse connection, enhancing connectivity and reducing load on public NOSTR relays.


This is just the beginning. With many more features and enhancements on our roadmap, we are excited about the future of NWS and its potential. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to develop NWS.
