  • If the servers have public IPs and you want the minimum possible ports open, just SSH? With passwords disabled and large keys, it’s quite secure.

    If that’s still not enough for you or you need a private gateway, then Wireguard. I can strongly recommend Tailscale - It’s really an orchestration layer on top of Wireguard. You can setup your own Derp relays and head scale if you are truly paranoid. But 99.9% you don’t need all that and Tailscale out of the box will work well.

    Also Tailscale isn’t a single point of failure the way you’re imagining. It’s certainly possible for Tailscale’s servers to go down, but that won’t drop existing connections.

  • Bitcoin wouldn’t be an awful solution to this, but there’s certainly a few better ones, such as

    • Visa and MC just being the opinionless payment providers they ought to be.
    • Regulation enforcing all payment providers to be similarly opinionless.
    • Ethereum, or another crypto more suited to many, fast payments
    • A layer-2 network over Bitcoin that can enable many fast payments, such as the lightning network.
