I’m just recovering from a node crash and getting things settled.

I noticed now when I click on a transaction in the Lightning Node Bitcoin Wallet, instead of using my nodes mempool, it gives me the following message:

“This will open your transaction details in a public explorer (mempool.space). Do you wish to continue?”

I if click “OK” it goes out to mempool.space via the internet instead of using my onboard mempool. My other choice is cancel.

I’d really prefer it use my mempool. I figure that’s why it’s there.

Is this a setting I can adjust?
