Correct, run a patched node in front of your preferred version to mitigate any remote vulnerabilities.

hey Obscura team
congratulations on shipping the first launch release!!
partnering with Mullvad for the second VPN service was a great choice, as they already have a solid reputation.
in regards to the service architecture, WireGuard VPN over QUIC, am concerned that it will not be possible to implement on routers (pfSense, OPNsense, OpenWrt, UniFi etc)?
im currently using a WireGuard mesh (NetBird / Tailscale) to route traffic for remote clients to my LAN, which is then routed outbound via a WireGuard VPN to the Internet. this ensures that all hosts traverse the VPN, regardless of whether they are local or connected via cellular / public Wi-Fi.
if you do enable WireGuard config on routers, would this be directly to the Mullvad servers, bypassing Obscura?
congratulations again on the launch. regardless of whether this service works for my use case, it will be something i will recommend to family and friends!

I think it really comes down to their technical competency and willingness to learn.
Bitkey has a great UX for newcomers, but isn’t ideal when it comes to UTxO management. They have some pretty compelling recovery features also, and don’t require a seed phrase. However, there may be privacy implications depending on Block’s infrastructure setup.
Coldcard or Passport offer a more traditional experience, but definitely require a steeper learning curve.

So far, US regulators have:
1. Created hostile tax accounting requirements for individuals, which deter Bitcoin’s use as peer to peer electronic cash.
2. Collapsed financial institutions, such as Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, who provided banking services to exchanges.
3. Approved ETFs, providing institutional access to paper Bitcoin.
4. Approved shitcoin ETFs which distract the uninformed.
If I were orchestrating a coordinated effort to defend US dollar hegemony, and co-opt the Bitcoin network, I would likely:
5. Increase Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for spot Bitcoin holders.
6. Encourage paper Bitcoin exposure and derivatives, such as MSTR, COIN, MARA et al.

Synology if you want easy mode (and SHR is great for expanding disks over time).
TrueNAS scale if you’re comfortable building a server and forgoing a bit of flexibility with the storage pool, with the benefit of some great open source functionality.
TrueNAS would end up being cheaper, but it’s worth looking into SHR in my opinion before making a decision.
