The Tor integration in Amethyst is very practical in protecting user privacy.
However another core feature of both Tor and Nostr is censorship resistance.
Tor provides (e.g. in the Tor Browser and Orbot) features like Obfs4 bridges and Snowflake that allow users to obfusate the fact that they are using Tor from their ISP. This both protects them in locations where usage of Tor is sanctioned and allows them to access the free web if plain Tor usage is blocked (e.g. Chinese Firewall).
If the Tor engine in Amethyst already supports obfs4 bridges or Snowflake it would be great if Amethyst could expose this configuration to the users so they can also enjoy Nostr in countries where Nostr relays or Tor are blocked (or even punished).
A short help text explaining what this feature does would also be useful as users might not understand the technical terms, or might even a recommendation to enable it if connectivity issues are detected.
This is how the option looks like in the Orbot Android app:
