You can use Tailscale with the c-lightning-REST port and it should be snappy
Is there a way to connect Zeus to core lightning that's running on a nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll node with Tailscale instead of Tor. It's so slow!!

Great! Is there a user guide for this? I'm not too technical.
Don’t have docs for this offhand. Maybe the Start9 team could help you.
You need to add a new node to Zeus or change the config for the current one to use the hostname of your node or whatever that node is called in Tailacale.
