 I have a script that can set up another instance on Debian in around 10 minutes. I can set up another region or another provider or even at home should I need very quickly.

I do this for a couple reasons but the ability to move jurisdictions quickly is prime.

 I love how you're honestly engaging with a troll. Keep it up, you're probably a good man!

 I'm not trolling right now, I'm probing for weak points, in theory and practice

 I have no clearnet exposure for my node, all solutions I have explored so far are custodial bottlenecks. Why are you gping through a vps instead of tailscale & cloudflare tunnel the connection? Custodial potatoe, potato

 I don’t trust Cloudflare generally so I don’t allow them in my network. I don’t worry about censorship because I have a workaround if my provider does that. I am worried about having funds rugged. So my “custodial” risk as you call it, I feel anyway, is pretty mitigated.

 Fair enough. How would that rugging scenario play out? How would a fully vps hosted node expose you to rug risks?
