Hi @all ! I have a strange issue. Every round about 8h my node hang up while syncing. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/1X/52aa86a3c467a0c9fd5efeaf451cf5eb098f033f.jpeg) At this point, only restarting (whats takes more time than usual in this case) get’s the node back working. I run Umbrel 0.3.10 on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS … does maybe my tor hang up, so that bitcoin lose its connection? Thank you for every response ---

Few days ago I also had my node (on Debian) making funny things because of Tor. But the logs in bitcoind was OK. Run `docker-compose logs tor` to see something funny in Tor. Also if you edit your lnd.conf file, be sure it was edited OK, sometimes spaces can messup. Don’t restart immediately, wait a bit longer. Sometimes gets it. Patience is a the key for a node operator. ---

Is this normal LND behaviour? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/1X/9f1cc9e902a76094521e1541d30539c48d95ddd1.png) the Node was stuck for 8h and more when the socks5 issue came up. i reinstalled docker-ce now, in doubt that it worked properly ---

SOLUTION: It was a memory issue. 4gb RAM where running full, and the existing swap file was located on an HDD. Reaching the RAM limit resulted in heavy I/O Rates and slowed down the whole system , until sudden death. deactivating swap resulted in a new level of performance. now with a swap file located on an different ssd, the whole system runs stable and fast.
