Just try to use nostr over Tor and you will realize most relays, CDNs, NIP05 webservers are tor hostile.

Come on people do better! If you're using cloudflare or any other proxy firewall service for your web servers, take some time to make it tor friendly.

Next step is posting screenshots to shame some well known accounts.

I use clouldflare as a proxy for my public webservers and found out the proxy is hostile to Tor traffic but ONLY without the Tor Browser User Agent.

When proxying any other app through tor (i.e. orbot + amethyst) I would get 403 timeouts. When querying the same page with the official Tor Browser, everything was fine.

Fortunately there's a solution: I created a custom cloudflare WAF firewall rule to allow all tor traffic unconditionally. Seems to work!
