Nostr Relay on an Anubiz Switzerland VPS
Switzerland for a Nostr relay is the highest-protection, highest-cost option in our lineup. BÜPF telecoms secrecy gives credible legal weight to relay operator privacy. The Zurich pop provides sub-15 ms reach to France, Germany, and Italy. This combination is the right pick for relays carrying journalist content, whistleblower communications, or politically sensitive material where statutory privacy matters as much as protocol-level pseudonymity.

Why Switzerland
BÜPF requires judicial process for traffic data disclosure. Switzerland is not in the EU and not bound by DSA, though Swiss law has equivalent intermediary frameworks. For relay operators carrying content that attracts speculative legal pressure, the BÜPF-protected operator-side metadata is the practical benefit.
Hardware
Standard Anubiz Swiss VPS V: 16 GB RAM, NVMe, 1 Gbit. Strfry handles same scale as other jurisdictions; the legal layer is the differentiator, not the hardware.
Cost
Swiss VPS pricing is meaningfully above Romania or Czech Republic. We pass through datacenter cost honestly. For commodity relay workloads use Romania; for sensitive content use Switzerland.
Federation and Moderation
You moderate. We pass through CSAM removal at infrastructure layer on credible notice. Swiss court orders honored within proper scope.
