Does it mean that you can skate the Full node only through a VPN? Or you can do it easily also with your Gui on your PC? In this case, must your PC be online 100% of the time? Just to understand...

You can run one node per IP, and yes you can run it on your home computer Wink

You do not have to run a secure node on a VPS. You can run it on a home computer. To be more successful, make sure:
1. port forward on your home firewall/router ports 9033 and 19033 to your computer
2. Run it on a 64 bit operating system, linux preferred
3. Buy a domain and create a fully qualified domain name that points to the ip address of your home firewall/router
4. Run the secure node tracker and put the ZEN in the locations you need to for operation.

If you decide to use VPN here you can find experiences of others->
