This is what the configuration page looks like for an Umbrel node (out of the box) with their latest UI.
What should I be doing differently? Best I can tell I have ~ 50 peers over Clearnet/Tor/I2p but all my inbound connections appear to be Tor/I2p.
This is not the only node I run but it is the easiest to get 'configured' what do you think?

@DarthCoin thinks it's best for you to use clearnet and forward port 8333 with a fixed public IP. Total nonsense.

I didn't say is the best for you. I only point out the differences.

It's best for you to have both inbound and outbound connections for a better network, you incorrectly wrote that tor nodes don't have inbound connections or at max. 8 peers connections.

Best I can tell it's already configured... to connect over clearnet inbound to 'Listen'. Right?

Correct, using tor and i2p there's no need to open any port. i2p has no exit nodes so it will not conenct outside of i2p network, but tor will. I2p is much faster than tor though as every client is also a node.
