Is it even possible to hide all umbrel traffic behind somehing like Nord or Express VPN?

I assume you want to run your node in a hybrid way (TOR & Clearnet), if so please consult this guide how to configure your node: [LND: Tor & Clearnet - How to setup hybrid-mode](http://community.umbrel.com/t/lnd-tor-clearnet-how-to-setup-hybrid-mode/6133)  
When it comes to hiding your private IP for Clearnet purposes I would recommend the use of [https://tunnelsats.com/](https://tunnelsats.com/) It provides a VPN Service specialised for Lightning Nodes.
