Securing tinc config files

I cannot use dynamic dns , the remote sites connect through 4G LTE and get
assigned "Private Addresses" that are NATd to a Public Address. The
LTE
clients can only make connections outward to the Internet and features such
as PAT and Dynamic DNS will not work. Therfor for these remote sites I need
a Central Server Located on Internet to peer with in order for the Site to
Site connection to work. Tinc works perfectly in this and I have tested it
thoroughly, I just have concerns now over the Central Server which holds
all the tinc configuration data.
