Thank you, but I have a few problems:
1- I live in Iran and am under US sanctions, so most LSPs do not serve me.
2- WireGuard is blocked in Iran, but OpenVPN is open.
3- I do not have enough sats to open a channel.
4- I am not a newbie, I have been a Linux user since 2007, and setting up a Linux VPS is easy for me, but I am too old to bother with documentations and codes. So I think using a custodial LN provider is more suitable for me.
Because of point 3... you must go on the each cashu path... I do not see too many options for you.
OK, Thank you🙏
I tried to zap you but failed. I see you are using a defunct Lifpay LN address in nostr. You should change it.
Here I wrote a guide for such cases, to start with wallets for zaps.

in regards of point 4, you can start with a VPS paid with sats https://lnvps.com/
Or use https://rizful.com/ - a LN node in the cloud. So you can open LN channels with whatever LSP you want, no restrictions.
rizful is a good option, another friend suggested it to me in nostr yesterday. thank you.
We did some zap tests on this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at saeed1@lifpay.me, over a period of about 4 hours. In each case, we found that your lightning address server did not respond correctly. (The failure point was when we did a GET request to your specified callback URL: https://lifpay.me/api/ln/lnurl/payreq/saeed1_013055 ). Your server did not produce an invoice, thus the zap failed. The error we got was "Receive or send bitcoin is currently unavailable, please refer to announcement. ". You might want to look into using a cloud-based Lightning node which is optimized for Nostr zaps, to get your zaps working.
