Risks of Enabling Public Node in Mysterium: Privacy and Security Concerns

Enabling the public node option in Mysterium carries certain risks, primarily related to privacy and security. Since public nodes are accessible to anyone, there is a potential for malicious actors to abuse the network, compromise data, or conduct unauthorized activities. Additionally, operating as a public node could expose the operator to increased liability if illegal activities are conducted through their node. The open nature of public nodes might also lead to scalability issues or reduced performance, especially if the network experiences high traffic. Users should weigh these risks carefully before opting to run a public node in Mysterium.
