Hello, I am trying to create my own lightning address with my own domain name and I am using [http://bridgeaddr.fiatjaf.com/](http://bridgeaddr.fiatjaf.com/) to achieve this. One of the parts it needs is the host and port for the LND rest api. I was assuming this would be [https://toraddress.onion:8080](https://toraddress.onion:8080) but that hasn’t worked. Is there a separate address / other specified port for this. If so, how do I find it? Edit: I found the host name here: `~/umbrel/tor/data/lnd-rest/hostname`. but I get this message: > The certificate is only valid for the following names: localhost, umbrel.local, unix, unixpacket, bufconn, 127.0.0.1, ::1, 10.21.21.9 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/0/017110e516fff45e01e6d5252362ca61d7fbe3c2.png) Is it unsafe to share/expose this address? No-one can do anything without a macaroon, right? So if I bake a macaroon with only permissions to create invoices, the worst thing someone can do is to create an invoice that pays me? Thanks, Alvie ---

Hey, the certificate does not include your onion address. I’d try to expose it by adding to `lnd.conf`: `tlsextradomain=
.onion` and restart LND service/container. For safety reasons I wouldn’t share any address that is not necessarily needed to be known publicly. ---

Thanks for your insight. I’ll add the extra domain. Regarding safety reasons, I understand your point and that was my worry too. Currently to me it seems like nothing can be done without a correct macaroon so as long as I keep my other macaroons safe, it should be okay. With this address, it’s currently in my DNS records (and I know the internet never forgets) but I’ll look into other methods to see if I can do it without exposing the address ---

I used the same for my own domain. Works perfect. But, instead of creating CNAME use A records pointing to his IP server. You create a new macaroon using Thunderhub, dedicated to this LN address [Here more detail](https://telegra.ph/Pay-to-Lightning-Address-08-14) ---

How do you create an invoice macaroon without Thunderhub? There is no option for Thunderhub app in my Umbrel node, so what is an alternative way to create the macaroon?
