"content": "How does a Nostr VPN work?\n\nWireGuard uses ed25519 keys to establish a tunnel.\nhttps://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/hydraveil-tutorial/how_nostr_vpn_works/images/regular_wireguard.jpg\n\nBut that only identifies a server. We want to identify an operator with Nostr keys. The problem with doing this directly is it leads to spam, as endpoints change. And should be rotated.\nhttps://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/hydraveil-tutorial/how_nostr_vpn_works/images/nostr_wireguard_spam.jpg\n\nInstead, we have operators broadcast a single ed25519 key to the Nostr network. This ed25519 key is in the same format that Wireguard originally uses, and then it signs for all the others. So this way, the Operator doesn’t need to spam jibberish on Nostr each time endpoints change.\nhttps://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/hydraveil-tutorial/how_nostr_vpn_works/images/nostr_hydraveil_wireguard.jpg\n\nBtw bro, mine is:\n1add0b6a2ad430c38e9aaead9841c33acc040f43f3b5eec22716e12f9cbfe297\n\nWireguard configuration files then come signed by the Operator,\nhttps://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/hydraveil-tutorial/how_nostr_vpn_works/images/signed_wg_conf_file.png\n\nHydraVeil automatically and instantly verifies the signature prior to connecting. Using the well-established and highly reviewed openssl library.\nhttps://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/hydraveil-tutorial/why_nostr_vpn/images/verify_post_connect.png\n\nThe original Nostr note broadcasting the HydraVeil key is displayed to the end-user.\nhttps://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/hydraveil-releases/why_nostr_vpn/images/iceland_sp_operator.png\n\nAfter you pay and download a browser, you connect directly to the node from then on.\nhttps://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/vpns-and/tor-profiles/images/server-overview.png\n\nSo Simplified Privacy can’t see traffic. (unless of course you’re using one of the original developer servers)\nhttps://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/hydraveil-tutorial/how_nostr_vpn_works/images/jedi-yoda-luke-trust_hydraveil_node.jpg\n\nAre You Interested in Running a Node?\n\nWe're looking for influencers and community members with a business, podcast, website, or some type of contribution to freedom tech or politics. Both so they have a reptuation, that the end-user can evaluate, and it's clear we are not just generating keys on our own. Reach out if that's you. https://simplifiedprivacy.com/hydraveil-node/operator-guide.html",
