Thank you. I see that a start9 VPN is targeted for a future upgrade. I am awaiting the blockchain to sync before I look more a the start9 Nostr Relay. I will tend not to expose my IP address for a Relay.

Are you running this on a Raspberry Pi? I set one up with StartOS, began syncing the Bitcoin blockchain, stuck it in a closet, and forgot about it. A month later it had not yet completed!

I'm fairly sure the reason it was so slow is that the RPI was throttling the CPU due to poor heat dissipation. So if any of that rhymes with your setup, make sure you've got it plenty of ventilation!

I am learning on my Raspberry Pi V4 with 4GB Ram. It has been a couple of days and I have about 40% of the Blockchain. I have had to restart it a couple of times, but so far it is running cooler (mid 50’s) than it did when I was running a Lightning Node with RaspiBlitz. If it works out I will probably spin up start9 on an old Mac mini with 16GB Ram and a SSD.
