Relay reference
Every Azzamo relay, what it is for, which are free and which need Premium, plus Tor access and rate limit details.
Azzamo runs five public relays across three regions. All of them are reachable over Tor, and all of them publish a NIP-11 information document you can inspect live on the relays page.
Free relays
| Url | Purpose |
|---|---|
wss://nostr.azzamo.net |
General purpose relay, the front door |
wss://inbox.azzamo.net |
DMs and groups, built for private messaging |
Anyone can add these today. They are rate limited for accounts without active Premium. That limit exists to keep the relays healthy for everyone, and Premium removes it.
Premium relays
| Url | Region |
|---|---|
wss://relay.azzamo.net |
EU |
wss://us.azzamo.net |
US |
wss://asia.azzamo.net |
Asia Pacific |
These accept connections from keys with active Premium and have no rate limits. Adding the one closest to you is the single biggest difference you can make to how fast your client feels.
Choosing a relay set
A healthy relay list balances three things: something close to you for speed, something well connected for reach, and more than one of everything so a single outage is not a blackout. Relays disappear without notice, so redundancy matters more than any individual choice.
Inbox storage
The inbox relay keeps DMs and group messages. For free accounts that storage is temporary. Active Premium makes it permanent, which matters if you rely on Nostr for conversations rather than only public notes.
