Yes, it's running over Tor and it's not slow. I didn't use umbrel, everything was done from a fresh Linux install. Whether Umbrel or from scratch, I definitely recommend trying it out!

Making sure all the files are in the right places, configuration files are set up properly, and permissions are set up properly.
Second is learning the lncli commands. But that's not really hard since you can easily find answers on google and read the help files for more details.
