Hi,

I recently read a lot about claims that Monero might get traced, if using malicious remote nodes. People here always recommend to run your own local node. There are two reasons why I don’t want to do this:

1. I have trouble with the disk space
2. Synchronizing needs forever. If I start the node every 3 weeks, it needs a hour to synchronize each time

So my thought was: Why not run the remote node on a VPS? Is this as safe as running the node locally? If not, what are the differences?

The VPS (and therefore the IP address) is registered to my name btw
