Why Frankfurt for Lightning node
Latency is what Frankfurt (DE-FRA) gets bought for: ~8 ms to AMS. The rack sits in a Tier III+ / 2N facility behind a 100 Gbps port · DE-CIX Frankfurt. Paperwork sits in Nevis; Deutschland law governs the rack. Takedown requests are acted on only when they arrive from that facility's own police and courts.
VPS from $3* (fund $50+), storage 1–5 TB NVMe from $24/mo annual-eff, dedicated with IPMI from $30.80/mo. Crypto invoice, no KYC.

Warden tier starts a routing node; dedicated metal protects channel state from noisy neighbours. LND and Core Lightning want a stable IP and port 9735 reachable - both are defaults here.
