read flood to DDoS the relay imo. right now 200 REQs in 10 seconds gets banned. looks malicious to me.
what is expected behavior from nostr clients? if it is one connection per relay and tens of REQs, normal clients should not be banned.
but then there are agents. or nowadays it seems VPN traffic. nos.lol is used as a 'pastebin with signatures' or 'randezvous location' or pubsub bus. i hope their authors code some nice usage patterns..
Sirius (nprofile…gud9) how do you handle relay interactions?
