2 easy ways to receive zaps to your lightning node without exposing your node publically:

1. download blixt wallet. open a channel with blixt wallet and enable lightning box ln address. open another channel from blixt wallet to your lightning node. update your ln address for your npub to the lightning bix ln address. periodically move your sats received to your lightning node via the established channel. the blixt wallet node will be exposed but your server's node will not be exposed.

2. using stacker news, link up your lnd node to your stacker news wallet in the attach wallet section of your profiles wallet. set your stacker news wallet preference to withdraw to your lnd node at whatever threshold you desire.. update your npub with your stacker news acct ln address. Sats will be received in your stacker news wallet, then forwarded to your node and not exposing your lightning node publically. if you open a private channel with stacker news and balance it, you can receive sat fwds without fees 🤙

Thanks - I will try that!

This works better. You can get a free azure reverse proxy so that your node is not exposed

I'm working on a terraform project to automate this deploy in aws. I'm hoping to publish by the end of the week if I can resolve my 502s
