TrueNAS + Monero + Tor + I2P = Darknet Privacy Upgrade [100% FREE]

If you care about digital privacy and taking control of your data, this is massive news.
Magic Grants has developed four powerful applications that transform TrueNAS Scale into a privacy powerhouse: a Monero node, Monero Wallet RPC, Arti (Tor's rust implementation), and I2P. These aren't just random apps – they're a carefully crafted privacy stack that works together to dramatically enhance your operational security.
What makes this development so important is how it democratizes privacy tech. Running your own Monero node or setting up I2P used to require serious technical skills. Now it's just a few clicks away. This removes third parties from your privacy equation and gives you true digital sovereignty.
I break down why running your own Monero node matters (hint: using someone else's node exposes your wallet activity), how Arti improves on Tor's aging C codebase with Rust's memory safety, and why I2P provides critical network redundancy for your privacy arsenal.
The power of this setup isn't just philosophical – it's a mathematical reduction of risk in your threat model. Every third party you remove from your OpSec chain reduces your attack surface exponentially, not linearly. That's real security.
TrueNAS Scale itself is completely free and open-source, turning regular hardware into a powerful network storage system. Instead of trusting Dropbox or Google with your files, you control everything. The hardware requirements aren't extreme – even a decent processor with 8GB of RAM can run this setup effectively.
Whether you're concerned about government overreach, protecting financial privacy, or just want control over your digital life, these tools represent a major step toward true digital independence. Privacy shouldn't require a computer science degree, and now it doesn't. This is the path to digital sovereignty we've been waiting for.
