Trying to enable hybrid mode on my LN node (aka. Tor and clearnet using a proxy).

I use Caddy2 as a reverse proxy for most of my webservices. Anyone know if Caddy can proxy port 9735 used for LN peering? I tried doing:

:9735 {
    IP.OF.LN.NODE:9735
}

But I get errors when connecting to this proxied connection. It appears that the handshake fails or times out. Perhaps due to LN not accepting HTTP.

My fallback is to use raw wiregaurd tunnels, but I really want to use Caddy if possible.

Speaking of such...

@ekzyis Are you tempted to create /predictions as a territory? I feel like it could be a cool sub with the remind-me bot. I'd enjoy posting in there about what the future might hold days and decades from now. Could feed your new project too.

Only started caring about privacy once I bought a start9 node.......Now I'm using a vpn/tor and looking to get a degoogled pixel/transition from windows.....

I think a new format.

PH might have been the wrong example, maybe more like yelp or review of current/ new Bitcoin products/ companies - what you mentioned in your other comment sounds great. Something that is sortable (launch date/ sector etc) - not so much about up voting with sats, I would love to be able to read bitcoiners/ experts/ people (I respect) reviews/comments about products/companies in one spot. I think having that here, will eventually bring people here as the product hunt type launch feature that people will visit to hear what new stuff is coming out.

One example: there has been some great comments on ways to earn sats - would love a post/tab where I can read in one spot what people are saying about "Bitcoin Libre"

Hope that makes sense!

I'm in 36 spot for top spender and top stacker.

I believe it's hard to understand digital scarcity if you have grown up without ever witnessing such a thing in the 50+ years of internet history. The internet, a network of networks, built to share data. How can a thing which purpose was to share data make the complete opposite possible: to keep data scarce? Which introduced p2p file-sharing and thus the biggest enemy of copyright holders? Which made more information available than ever before, to so many people at their fingertips, wirelessly and globally? The internet is like a printing press on steroids. And that's an understatement.

So I think the problem is not that bitcoin is complex: the problem is that it's such a paradigm shift, you need to unlearn some things you thought are never possible to start to grasp it and the concept of digital scarcity. And some people will indeed never grasp it. They simply don't have enough time in their lifes left for unlearning or adapting.

I will always remember how my professor said that when he heard about public key cryptography for the first time, his first thought was that that's impossible: how can you share a key over an insecure communication channel and keep it secret? Surely there is no way!

That's when I witnessed myself how I take things for granted which were considered miracles when they were discovered (do we invent math or discover it?). The way he framed it, I realized what an astonishing discovery RSA and the Diffie-Hellman key exchange must have been. And now we take HTTPS and E2EE for granted and use it in our daily lifes to message friends in private, do online banking or... write on SN, knowing it's the real SN since TLS certificates authenticated the host.

I believe the same will happen with bitcoin. Future generations will grow up with it and just accept digital scarcity as something so natural, you won't question it at all.
