Umbrel Lightning and OpenVPN

As @jonsyusaid, BE CAREFUL with changes made in your lnd.conf and node in general.
At least make copies and have all steps you’ve done documented in some notepad.

But the question is: what do you want to achieve with these changes, because each aspect have its own solutions more or less complicated or s simple.

  • you want to access your node on SSH from outside your LAN?
  • you want to connect wallets to your node without Tor?
  • you want just that your LN node is also visible on clearnet? For this aspect, only adding your public IP (if you have a static one) externalip=192.241.154.55:9735 in your lnd.conf is enough.
  • all above?

You could look into using Zerotier.com or tailscale.com as solutions to use your node from outside, without Tor.
Here is an example: https://openoms.github.io/bitcoin-tutorials/zerotier/

Please read the Umbrel troubleshooting manual for more modification needed (and tested)
