I am interested in running my own full node.
Can it run on its own subnet as long as I allow my pc access? Does it open up any security risk running a node on your network?
Thanks

Hi @MrJay
I don’t believe there should be any issues running it from a subnet.
In terms of security risks for running a node, the Umbrel Bitcoin node is fairly locked down and by default only accepts incoming connections over TOR/I2P, and none from clearnet. I hope that clarifies things- let me know if you have any other questions
Thanks for the reply. Besides the Bitcoin node application and electrs is there any other apps you recommend?
Sure!
These are the apps that I personally get the most value out of:
Lightning app: Enables you to run your own lightning node, and use lightning self-custodially.
Nostr Relay: If you use Nostr, this allows you to back-up all your data!
Plex + other media apps: I use this to torrent/stream movies on demand.
Nextcloud: Back up files/photos onto my own drives instead of using cloud services.
Tailscale: Access my Umbrel from anywhere.
Thanks for the information!
One more question.
When I send a transaction and I am using my own node how do I verify that it is in fact using my node? I thought it might show up in mempool or electrs automatically.
Does Electrs not have a log?
