Question: If someone uses Zeus with embedded node and wants to use it exclusively for daily spending via lighting. How to achieve max. privacy, meaning make sure that nobody can link all these payments?
Is it general better to open once a bigger unannounced channel and once all the liquidity is pushed out to close it and open a new channel?
Oor would it be better to keep this channel ideally open for as long as possible and just push liquidity from time to time back via lighting (with wrapped invoices)?
I would try to do this (and please read first here from their documentation page):
Any channel now can be refilled with integrated swaps in Zeus. Once you deplete a channel, refill it using a swap.
And read more about how to use Zeus from my 2 important guides:
Also here I explained more stuff:

And yes, Zeus wrapped invoice is a good tool too !
Will this help with failed payments? Sometimes my payments fail using the embedded node. And sometimes I can’t find a round to receive payments to it as well
Most of these issues are related with the fee you want to pay, sadly, right now, the media ppm is high to reach well connected nodes. Are you using a good fee? 100ppm is low, 1500ppm must work, 3000ppm it's almost a guaranty.
In "theory" 3 good channels and MPP just works, be sure the node is in sync before make the payment.
Yeah I only got one channel and that is to Olympus
I know it's a capital expensive action, but... if you are going to do an extensive use of LN, it's good to open at least 2 more channels.
I was about to say the same.
Yeah I run multiple ln nodes just looking for ways to optimize my Zeus embedded node thanks for the help!

Should I open a PR:
Swap is now available!
Go for it!
I’d top up with a vpn, and maybe trying to spread it over devices
