Has anyone tried swapping in an authenticated relay for tor when contacting home nodes? Seems like you could reduce the latency that way. Or, why haven't people used regular self hosted VPNs instead? Why use a general purpose privacy solution to support a single route?

Wait.... self hosted VPN? You can do that!?
Yeah, I'm not sure how it works, but it's common for companies to set them up to allow employees tunneled access to their intranet. I assume it would be fairly simple to do the same for your home network. I believe this is what https://tailscale.com/ does.
I'm loving this. Had no idea this service existed.
Linux comes with IPSEC in the kernel and is literally a few lines of config to set up.
Or `apt-get install openvpn`
Or Wireguard

That’s what I do for Bitstack.app Relay. Unlike the Purplerelay.com network of relays this one is auth required.
u mean auth server n relay on 2 diff lines ?
BTW hosting vpn inbound expensive than tor
