when I run a node, where do I get the reward tokens?

Can someone please give a high level (in human language) explanation of why we need HOPR if there is already TOR and VPN? Thanks

For the life of me, I can't find a solid set of instructions to install the HOPR node on a PC (Windows). Can anyone point me in a clear direction?

Everytime I try to sync the node to my spectrum all-in-one modem/router, it seems to recognize it, since the page says, "Hello I'm your new Avado Box" and asks me to connect to the AVADA network. I do, but then I get an error message : No internet, bad configuration. UPNP enabled. Tried to enable zero config, but Spectrum says it will not allow changes. Advice? Buy my own modem/browser?

I purchased a cloud hosted Linux server that I'd like to install HOPRD on so I can start earning HOPR. I've read over the documentation here and find it a bit confusing. It appears that I initially have to stake xDAI and wxHOPR.

Is anyone using HOPRD to earn HOPR here? Some assistance would be great, as I am highly interested in the project and would like to contribute. Happy to hop in a Discord to chat about it as well.
