Hello Umbrel Support,  
after updating to Lightning Node 0.17.4 I realized the some lnd.conf settings have changed.  
Most of the [routerrpc] settings have been update but in Lightning Node Advancved Settings  
there is still **routerrpc.penaltyhalflife** but it has now changed to **routerrpc.apriori.penaltyhalflife**  
Other parameters that have been changed are:  
routerrpc.hopprob \> routerrpc.apriori.hopprob  
routerrpc.weight \> routerrpc.apriori.weight  
Please check and update Advanced Settings accordingly.  
Also in case I want to run in mode **routerrpc.estimator=bimodal** how would this be reflected in Advanced settings?  
Thanks a lot.

You should still be able to make these changes under lnd.conf, but I’ll share this feedback with the team.

> The latest version of the Lightning Node app does not include an `lnd.conf` file by default. Instead, you will have a file named `umbrel-lnd.conf` located at:

> ```auto
> `~/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/umbrel-lnd.conf`
>

> 
> This file should not be edited manually. Instead, configuration options in this file should be changed through “Advanced Settings” in the Lightning Node app.
> 
> If you would like to add configuration options to your node that are not present in “Advanced Settings”, you can create an `lnd.conf` file at the following path:
> 
> ```auto
> `~/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd.conf`
> 
> ```
> 
> Add your required lines to this file, and then restart your Lightning Node app from the “Advanced Settings menu” in the Lightning Node app. Your new configuration options will be included in `umbrel-lnd.conf`.

Thank you for your answer and for sharing it with the team.  
I know that I can still update the original lnd.conf with configuration options that are not present in “Advanced Settings” of the LKightning Node App.  
My concern is more about configuration options that are no longer available in lnd 0.17.4 like  
**routerrpc.penaltyhalflife** and what effect this might have?
