My best advice:

1. Open up a few decently funded channels with trusted peers. Don’t worry about inbound liquidity unless you plan on opening some kind of store or bank with it. As you spend sats, you’ll naturally get inbound liquidity.

2. Utilize Zeus and a VPN so you can control your node away from where it’s located.

What’s a decently funded channel to you? I don’t know how much the minimum is.

Also you can’t receive more than the channel size, right?

Just depends on what you want to use it for? If you expect on routing payments through your node, you’re going to need channel sizes that are larger and good inbound liquidity. If you’re just wanting zaps from Nostr, you can get by with smaller channel sizes.

Correct. You can’t receive any more sats than your inbound liquidity of the incoming channel.
