Clients don’t connect to peers on nostr. They connect to relays.

Relays are peers in Nostr. They're supposed to share posts with each other and altruistically create a consistent view of the network for their users.

Relays are not intended to connect with each other. Clients send notes to relays. Relays store notes and send them back to clients.
