quotingA gentle reminder that Nostr's censorship resistance is only as strong as the infrastructure it rides on — and DNS is often the weakest link.

If an ISP or host sees activity that raises flags (rightly or wrongly), they can and do take relays offline. Vultr and DigitalOcean are actually among the more lenient providers, which makes such takedowns noteworthy.
For stronger resistance, you might want to look at #pubky, which takes a more torrent-like approach without relying on DNS. Also, Mike Dilger ☑️ (nprofile…uw6r) has been exploring nostr-next, where relay pubkeys are their identities — a step toward deeper decentralization. And did-nostr is growing into a way to discover relays and agents purely via pubkeys.
So just a heads up — if you're running anything that even smells "suspicious," relying on DNS or traditional VPS hosts can quickly become a game of whack-a-mole.
