first thanks for umbrel’s team, a beautifull and easy using os.

my problem is:

bitcoin node works fine, core lightning node works also good.

but the RTL can not open? any help will be _appreciated._

here is the log：

tor\_server-1 | Jan 04 08:57:18.000 [warn] Problem bootstrapping. Stuck at 14% (handshake): Handshaking with a relay. (Connection timed out; TIMEOUT; count 43; recommendation warn; host AA4644F0EC589EEA2F501BB867E32E599F8169DA at 107.189.28.84:9000)

tor\_server-1 | Jan 04 08:57:18.000 [warn] 2 connections died in state handshaking (Tor, v3 handshake) with SSL state SSL negotiation finished successfully in CLOSED

I think the problem is the tor…

must RTL use the tor???
