LN node security tips (repost + reply for zap):
1. If you allow others you do not trust to use your network, set up a guest network instead. This means they cannot access your LN node
2. If you configured everything yourself, set up some firewall rules! It makes it harder to exploit vulnerable services.
3. If setting up your node yourself and installing everything on it yourself, set up encryption using LUKS for the internal drive and external/internal storage. If you have both encrypted you can store a key to your storage drive in your startup drive encrypted.
4. Don’t host non-bitcoin apps on your node. You increase the attack surface.
