Node And Gateway on the same machine

What are the main advantages/disadvantages of running the node and gateway on the same machine? Does it pose any additional security issues? I realise you need increased bandwidth.

Thanks.

At the moment no disadvantages, but in future it poses an additional security issue.

Cool, thanks.

Does the danger of security issue persist? Should we separate Node and Gateway pc’s.

It’s not designed to disappear, it’ll always persist.

Should the node and gateway be installed on separate PCs?
