I got Linux installed. Ran out of time to install bitcoin core. Going to try to get it done tomorrow.
I installed Tailscale.
Anything else I should install for security or privacy? Tor or something else?
Discussion
You can enable tor for your bitcoin node.
Where do you install all of this? In VPS or home devices (Raspberry, Mini PC, etc)?
Just make sure you configure firewall (limit incoming port) and ssh server properly (disable root login, enable ssh key based auth) especially if you running your node in VPS. Also you can install fail2ban to ban failed ssh login attempt.
It’s an old pc. Got a link to a guide I could follow?
There are quite a lot of tutorials maybe you can check these. The keyword is "Securing linux vps/machine"

Tutorial for running node steps by steps
Above is tutorial for Raspberry or ARM based devices
This one is almost similar but has already been edited to make it easier for regular PC installation (copy paste easier)
Awesome thanks! I had the link for the raspi already but yeah it was slightly different. I tried changing the file name in the code and I didn’t get it to work.
I don’t think I was in the right directory. But this should help more if it’s for pc.
Yeah, i just found this one recently. I also run my node based on raspibolt although i have to modified the command for VPS 😅
