I cannot find a way to specify a minimum number of hops in the payment path using Zeus or Blixt or any other wallet. The only practical way I've found so far to force more hops is to connect to a relatively unconnected node.

I regularly read your guides. Very useful content.

I run a private node. What software would you recommend in order to take advantage of MMP? CLN + RTL? Is there a way to constrain the payment to a specific path to force the payment through a specific trusted node?
