i personally believe people underestimate how serious the dying western neoliberal system is about gaining control of the mainstream internet, and marginalizing that which is not.
i dont think it cant be done, it just seems like an extra layer of protection to go local first.
In joinstr the coordinator is the nostr relay, the vpn will only know that you are connecting to a relay.
The relay will not be able to correlate inbound and outbound because all clients will use the VPN IP addresses.
This is a simple option to avoid having to deal with tor circuits.
