Best Practice #15

Open kaaax0815 opened 1 day ago

kaaax0815 commented 1 day ago

I would like to run a Monero Node for Privacy. What are the best practices?

I would probably like a pruned node, to save space (also sync pruned blocks? or is this bad for privacy?)

I want to host it on a server I own.

I want my wallet to be able to use this node to sync. Preferably over TLS or similar.

I want to open as few ports as possible and other users shouldn't be able to use it.

What settings would you recommend for such setup (which I think many people want)

For best privacy, use a VPN connection between your device that holds the wallet and the server you want to host your Monero node. Make sure to expose the ports from the container only to your localhost on your server and the interface of your VPN. I can not help you with configuring that.

Sync pruned blocks is not bad for privacy, it saves network bandwidth for the sync.

I saw there is an option to set username and password for monero. Maybe its worth adding to monero-suite
