What other ways are there to protect against theft of the source code of a NodeJS application?

Question

JavaScript

My NodeJS application is running on the client. The application is compiled into .exe, there is a key binding that is checked on a remote server, code obfuscation + minifacing. Are there other ways? I thought about receiving requests on a remote server and doing all the logic there, but there are some restrictions on ip addresses, that is, I can’t afford this option yet.

Answer 1

Any protection is hacked. Your task is not to make impenetrable protection, your task is to make it so that overcoming the protection costs significantly more resources than the cracker wants to allocate.
And in the light of this information, please tell me, what kind of great application are you writing that the described protection is not enough for you?
