use a wireguard VPN if you want to use your node in clearnet and don't want to expose your home IP.

Here is a great guide for that

Why bitcoiners are so "in love" using Tor for their BTC LN nodes?

yes, I know about other options but I am focusing on running LND on homeserver. it is not problem for me.

my LND is connected to some node (or more) which I have open private channel(s) with.

so if TOR is not used then that node also now my IP. but If will used tor then that node will see tor exit IP {which also change time to time}. Question is what that node do with that knowledge. Dont know how exactly LN transaction is transmitted. Perhaps mapping my IP address to my transaction is worthless, so in that case you are right, tor is not necessary.

I am not sure, if I will run LND without tor and dont want to expose port on public IP, lnd will open 9735 on localhost then only my node can connect to other nodes. I guess it is ok because I have only private channels and my lnd will make connection.
