Yes see the link, Umbrel and Raspiblitz / Bolt and Baremetal work fine

Ahh how does this differ than Tailscale?

reply

Tailscale is for you accessing your node in a private tunnel, and your node responding back through that tunnel.

Tunnelsats is for the Lightning Network accessing your node in a private tunnel, and responding back both via the TS-Tunnel (and Tor = hybrid)

Makes sense?

Ahh okay so it takes LND from behind tor and makes it clearnet? Thus making it 100% more reliable for payments and routing?

reply

That's exactly it.

How does this differ from umbrels setting of hybrid mode?

Umbrel hybrid - basically just the name of hybrid done by LND / CLN - connects to the Lightning Network via your home-router directly, with your home ISP address.

Obviously this results in your home-IP, location and network announced to everyone who cares.

We're not crying wolf, but if you want to avoid this as an attack vector, this is why you want a VPN as a masquerading option

Haha yeah I figured. Try to have a go at the FAQ and best advice probably is: Have a chat with other runners who are already a customer. In a nutshell: If you try to become a routing node, or you're already there but hitting a ceiling, this is for you
