There are many reasons to run a lightning node on a VPS.

Aside from those, not everyone is or wants to be a sysadmin.

What you are describing is StartTunnel (WireGuard). If you are going to rent a VPS anyway, it is generally safer to run the node on the VPS rather than at home.

⚡️ Virtual Private Node v0.5.0

Built to run a full Lightning node on as little hardware as possible. LndHub's RAM cost didn't earn its place.

Removed LndHub to free resources for an exciting new Add-on.

If you installed LndHub, see the release notes:

Freedom means never being tied down to one location. Security means never ordering bitcoin hardware to your home address. This is why we built Virtual Private Node.

We hear you. LND recommends running either Bitcoin Core or btcd as a backend. Knots runs the same RPC and ZMQ interface as Core so it would most likely work, but it has not been tested or documented by LND or by us. Virtual Private Node runs Bitcoin Core v29.

Virtual Private Node v0.4.2 is live.

Every time you create a Lightning invoice, you're revealing your node, your channels, and your UTXOs.

That era is over. Blinded paths now on by default. Your node stays hidden.

Also, payment routes now show node aliases and per-hop fees.
