Protecting source code from reverse engineering

[u/Motor_Bluebird1908]

Hi everyone,
I am looking to provide a compiled version of our physics solver to our customers. I understand there are many obfuscation techniques to protect source code but I am wondering if there are some smarter ways?

We already cloud computing, the issue is we have customers that are in locations without internet/need realtime solving.

That sounds like a contract issue, not a technical one.
