If you don't use a VPN or Tor every site you visit knows your IP. Even if you use a VPN, there are fingerprinting techniques that might still identify you. This problem is not unique to Nostr.

It's a problem nostr doesn't solve. A VPN doesn't really solve it either.

Because it happened on Nostr. Can you go to a website right now and get the IPs of everyone who visited the website, link it to them, and publish it along with their identity/nym?
It’s a learning lesson that motivated plenty of people to begin using VPNs.

Well, I'm not sure how feasible, but maybe the solution should be integrated with Nostr somehow. It's going to be difficult to get everyone to use a VPN.

Indeed. I’m not sure if everyone cares or not, but it certainly got me to finally look into and use one.
