I don’t have a spare pc lying around, so my plan: strip back my pi4 to only bitcoin node, electrum, mempool, and nostr relay. Run node on clearnet.. I’ve got NordVPN on mobile, so I should run that 24/7? Or at least strictly when utilising my node-connected wallet? I’m considering moving to Proton VPN too.. Running lightning is beyond me hey. Gave it a go but pretty much had no clue and felt I was just blowing sats
Pi4 is very limited in the end when running a full node and any other app on umbrel. Would recommend installing umbrel on an old pc if you have one. If you have lightning channels open and you want to migrate to a pc, you can follow this guide. Tor connection is good but not as reliable as having a good VPN through which you can connect to your node on mobile.

Nostr relay might be too much also. In my experience bitcoin node, electrum, and mempool is the maximum a pi can handle. And yeah I recommend setting the VPN-always mode on in your phone's settings. Mullvad VPN is good if you're looking for a new provider.
