0 sats \ 3 replies \ @DarthCoin 21 Nov \ on: How setup a LN node with LND and i2p? lightning
Unfortunately not. i2p works only for your bitcoin core node not for LN. LN must communicate through ipv4, ipv6 or Tor. Even with ipv6 are very few using it.
My recommendation is to use a VPS + wireguard VPN tunnel to your home node and like that use the VPS public IP for your LN node. Is the best way.
If you run a public routing node, DO NOT run it with Tor. Tor with routing nodes is not a good combination. I will never connect to a Tor only public node.

I disagree regarding LN+tor, I use it and will only connect to nodes tor only. The good thing is that we are free to do so as we wish.

As a private node (non-routing) is OK, but when is about to do public routing is a nightmare and it should be avoided any Tor only peer. I am talking about SERIOUS routing not just 2-3 payments/day... Keep in mind that Tor is adding a unnecessary long response time that is crucial for LN routing nodes. Tor is just an illusion of privacy for LN nodes.

well every use case may require different tools, anyway I would be very glad to have i2p integrated into LN.
