Why use a TOR Hidden Service? Hidden Services hide the server, not the
client, and the Parabola server does not need to be hidden. TOR should
be installed on the client, not the server.

Similarly, IPv6 privacy extensions are not needed for a public server.

I’m not quite sure what the plan was about VPN. Do you want the server
to be a VPN client or a VPN server?
