Is it smart to run your own private hidden bridge? : Tor | Torhoo darknet markets

Imagine you're a high-profile individual who frequently uses the darknet and is willing to invest in extra security measures to protect your anonymity, given the potential risks of de-anonymization and severe penalties. You are using your home network and Tails.

Is it a good idea to run your own (private) bridges and only connect to them, thereby ensuring you are not connected to a malicious relay? Of course, these servers would be paid for with Monero, and would not be linked to your identity in any way.

If running your own bridges is a viable option, could you please specify which type of bridge would be most suitable for this purpose? I have a basic understanding of the Tor network, but I'm not familiar with the technical details, so any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Running your own private guard relay is possible if you're familiar with configuring the tor daemon.

You should do your own research prior to make sure it's a suitable strategy for your threat model.
