Solid read on QubesOS (links below). Considering putting it on my backup server just for testing. It seems to be a good testing ground to put a second PostgreSQL and drop it in a VPN and/or Tor. Some VPNs allow ports to be open in certain locations. Playing with replication methods in PostgreSQL today.
