You could cut Tor out here and do a SSH reverse tunnel for far better reliability.

Wouldn't I need to expose ports at home then?
No, presuming you have the webserver on that VPS serving up the invoices, you SSH from the node at home into the VPS with a reverse tunnel and the VPS box is now able to hit the node at home through that SSH tunnel, without exposing ports at home.
Know of any guides to achieve this?
hey
just looking at this

rough if you try and avoid the cmdline by default 😜
Thanks man. I aim to remain a GUI warrior until my final breath.
there isn't a GUI afaik but tailscale works well for exposing private services in your network without opening ports at home.
In fact you just jogged my memory, it wasn't a Tor proxy I'm using it's this.
ahh yeah that makes sense. I wish start9 had a built-in integration with tailscale.
They've been teasing a network/connectivity upgrade for a while now. Hope it comes soon.
