A note to @npub1h8n…rpev, you might need to cough up the "big sats" soon. Holesail is now super easy to implement on Android with https://github.com/holepunchto/bare-expo 👀
Take the bounty guys, and I will help you every step of the way to do this.

Holesail version 1.7.0 is out with a brand new feature: Holesail Manager.
Run holesail in the background and persist connections on reboot.
It is as simple as doing holesail-manager create <normal holesail options>
Docs coming soon.

I am also using Primal Web; the bug has not stopped my account. Their mobile client is good too, along with Amethyst

2024-08-19 15:11:28

What Nostr client is everyone using here? Specifically on the web / Mac.

2024-08-18 16:04:47

use ublock?

Also since this is custom DNS resolution I dont think we need to convert to bech32 🤔

2024-08-18 01:32:40

Check this out, guys, It's the coolest thing by far I have seen build-on holesail.

Check out Kademliya algorithem, it is truly peer to peer, there are no central nodes.

I am releasing holesail-manager today It will solve the problem of running holesail commands again and again but what do you mean by:
> Which means the HTTP proxy can intercept their requests and bind the ports automatically then forward the traffic through hyperdht to the correct node
I think I am not able to understand this properly, I appreciate you explaining it, please 🙏.

Here is a terrible drawing explaining how Holesail proxy works around Hyperdht

I think you are a little confused here, apps do not need to integrate holesail to use it.
Holesail in itself is a proxy, it kind of binds two ports between different devices, so apps just need to use localhost:port as the url.
When I say "integrating holesail", I mean including holesail in the app itself so that users don't have to do the installation and running.
For example, for an apache server running on port 80, I can wrap holesail around it with holesail --live 80 --host localhost
Then on another device: holesail <connection string> --port 3434 --host localhost, now any app on my second device that needs the data from server1, will use the URL http://localhost:3434/
There is no need for manual integration, but for the sake of simplicity and accessibility, it is better to do so.
The above is a manual approach, now if I bundled holesail with apache2 and made it print out a connection key for ever vHOST by default, that would be holesail integration.

@npub1ye5…knpr Holesail solves this as holesail is a reverse proxy around hyperdht.
You can check holesail source for how it's Implemented

Holesail android code is not open, but here is how you can get holesail working on Android:
https://github.com/supersuryaansh/hyperclip-android
After that just do npm i holesail-client and you can use the node package in app.js file

If you are talking about the routing and DHT behind Holesail then no, it is very efficient as the underlying tech is based on Kademliya algorithm:
Kademlia contacts only 𝑂 ( log ⁡ 𝑛 ) nodes during the search out of a total of 𝑛 nodes in the system.

Unpopular opinion: Absolutely terrible idea
Nostr-web-services is just ngrok / cloudflared with extra steps and more concerns about safety.
1. The things you expose are public; hackers can find you and see whatever you are hosting.
2. You DO NOT OWN your web service if the name servers are not under your control.
Whoever owns the name server is the prime authority, and they can inject whatever they want into your website.
Imagine out of 10 relays, even one of them injects your website with a code to steal passwords and you happen to use that relay (YOU ARE COMPROMISED!!)
It is as dangerous as port forwarding / dynamic DNS with extra concerns about integrity.
When I say "as dangerous as port forwarding", I think I am explaining it casually, but in reality, this is far more dangerous and concerning.
Just two days ago when I was looking into issues with port forwarding / dynamic DNS / Nostr-web-services, I discovered:
1. THREE THOUSAND (3k!!!!) Tesla with open information about their home coordinates, their kid's school, drop location, their workplace, their exact address, if their Tesla is active or not.
2. 6K + Camera with a full recording of the whole month, installed in people's personal—-BEDROOM--, baby monitor.
There is no excuse for self-hosting irresponsibly; it should be done to increase your privacy and security, not to increase the risk.
Holesail provides a way to achieve this peak self-privacy and security. You expose only what you 🫵 choose, and only the person you want can access it, with no chances of a man-in-the-middle attack from a random relay and their DNS hosting.
I like how enthusiastic people are about Nostr and Nostr-based services, but we should NOT overlook the security and risks some of these ideas might bring!

Looks like you are confused here, pear is a like a library for building peer to peer apps and http is a protocol.
Talking about holesail here, it supports http as well as ftp.

Holesail.io can be used as a replacement of DNS, it allows you to use a dynamic IP while keeping the connection string static, while using no DNS system at all.
Disadvantages I can think of: iOS version of holesail pauses as soon as it goes into background so Nostr will work only when the app is open (I am looking for a workaround), there is no web version of Holesail.
But Desktop version of Nostr clients on Windows, Mac, Linux and even Android can utilise Holesail to run and connect to a Nostr node based on a "connection string".

No, it works for anything TCP and will soon support UDP as well.
If you are concerned about the http part, that is only for when you are running websites + it is being served from your local computer to you, so https does not matter here.

When you do holesail CONNECTOR, it generates a hash that is also your location in the distributed hash table, atm there are two public nodes run by hopepunch team which lets you in on the mesh network of peers.
Anyone can run a public nodes, and it's only used for initially finding first few peers after that other peers tell you where your "peer" is located.
To stop people from taking over, you need to use key, which are automatically generated.
holesail --live 5000
will give you a key

I have not used start9 before but currently looking into it, if start9 can run a Node app then use it can work with it and our mobile app is already ready and out to go on both iOS and Android.
