But even then, a VPN endpoint needs an IP address. So instead of having my node IP showing, I'd have my Watchguard IP showing. (Which is also my home).

Your node won't be going through the VPN.. all the VPN will be doing is giving you access into your network from the outside.. your node will be connected however you would normally do it through clearnet, hybrid, tor, or i2p.

Ok I think I see. So I would still need a VPN provider (I have one I pay for) and Wireguard is a superior client that can connect to that VPN provider. I was thinking there was some kind of magical tech that didn't involve any third party.

No, you dont need a "provider". You will be the provider

I'm trying to understand Wireguard. Would I be setting it up on my node at home, then adding a connection to an IP I don't care about (like a VPS I pay for), and then the IP of the VPS I'm using would appear to be my node's IP? Or is there some magical thing happening where Wireguard, running on my node at home without any other servers, can someone obscure my home IP?

You just need a VPN into your local network. Then you can access your node like you are on your local network. You can run OpenVPN or WireGuard on any machine inside your network. Then, when you connect to that remotely, you will be "inside" your network.

Your bitcoin wallet is your savings account.

Your lightning wallet is your checking account.

Yep, when i first starting using lightning. I thought of it as a cheap withdrawal personal ATM. I use it to receive mostly now though.

I do as well but honestly he should have known better to backup his life savings on a computer, of all people. I can't imagine putting my family in this position.

Did he have them just wide open? He didn’t at least encrypt them in like a 7z file or something?
