## Advantages:
* hides the IP of the host from the public and from the VPS
* no port forwarding needed on the LAN of the host
* encrypted connection over Tor
* additional encryption by Tor between the host and the VPS
## Requirements:
* SSH access to a Virtual Private Server (VPS) - eg. a minimal package on Lunanode for ~3.5$/month
* Example Lightning Payable VPS services:
* [host4coins.net](https://host4coins.net)
* [bitclouds.sh](https://bitclouds.sh/) or [lntxbot](https://t.me/lntxbot) `/bitclouds`
* Note that only the root user can forward to ports below 1000.
* Always check the terms and rules of the VPS provider to avoid bans and don't do anything causing them trouble to keep these services going.
* Note that only the root user can forward to ports below 1000.
* Tor should not be the only encryption layer of the service as the traffic exposed on the VPS is meant to be for the `localhost`
* Always check the terms and rules of the VPS provider to avoid bans and don't do anything causing them trouble to keep these services going.
## On the VPS
* Login with ssh to root
* Login with ssh to the `root` user
`ssh root@VPS_IP_ADDRESS`
* Install tor (leave on default settings) and socat
* Install `tor` (leave on default settings) and `socat`
