    Also, it’s illegal to send encrypted messages over mestastic.

    In the US at least, this is almost never true. It is only true for devices set up as licensed HAM radios. Normal Meshtastic devices fall under the transmit power threshold to be subject to 47 CFR 97.313(j)

      Correct, you can turn up the output of your meshtastic node above 1W IF you are a licensed HAM operator and do not encrypt. But at 1W you can encrypt.
