I'm also curious on the VPS angle for tor only vs hybrid. Is there a reason we're not pushing for nodes at home running behind a reverse VPN tunnel? The idea of running my Bitcoin infrastructure with ...
The project seems to lean towards VPS use I’m “assuming” for reachability and easy deployment.
I’m with you and would prefer not putting hot infrastructure on someone else’s hardware which is why I tested it on a dedicated device.
You have an interesting idea. You keep key material at home, expose the VPS/tunnel endpoint instead of your home IP, and potentially get better reachability than Tor only.
I don’t think it replaces Tor only for max privacy, but it’s a better practical option.
I’d want to test drops, fail closed behavior, LND advertised address behavior, and leakage before trusting it but architecturally I like as a nice middle ground between Tor only and hybrid.
@ripsline anything we’re missing?
