If you can and want, yes. For me fixed a lot of connectivity issues.
You could try first using Tailscale for example.
Going hybrid is not what everybody wants.
The whole thing is that Tor is quite unreliable and when your internet connection is slow or congested, is when your Tor is making a lot of trouble.
Umbrel and wallet apps have nothing to do with this, is only about Tor. So don’t tinker too much your node and apps, before your fix the Tor issue.
As far as I see umbrel can only run over tor. You can not disable tor from the dashboard.
Is there a way to change some config files and make umbrel available without tor?
I don’t think you need to disable Tor.
When hybrid, Tor service will be less stressed and hence the node overall will be more reliable.
When Tor is down, your node peers will skip the tor uri and try to reconnect via clearnet.
To your question, you can fiddle with the lnd.conf and remove Tor entry files. But I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a good fallback to have two options to connect.
Bitcoind needs tor, too. So bitcoin.conf would need adjustments, too.

@DarthCoin I have been reading all I can about LNDHUB and your guide is helpful. My question is regarding the difference between private unannounced channels and public channels in relation to LNDHUB: As LNDHUB makes use of the liquidity(not the balance) in the several open channels for my lightning node, does LNDHUB make use of ALL the liquidity in both private/unannounced and public channels? I was wondering if there is a way to restrict LNDHUB usage to specific channels (like the public ones) if I want to reserve certain types of channels for my use only (should I eventually share LNDHUB with friends and family). Will opening a channel, for example in Thunderhub, in private/unannounced way prevent LNDHUB from using its liquidity is another way to ask my question? If this has been answered somewhere else, I must have missed it but I have looked.
LNDhub is just an “accounting” system on top of your LN channels/node. And will use whatever channels are available.
No, you can set which channel can be used exclusively for LNDhub. Will be nice to have such feature, but need more coding for this and not sure if lndhub developers will do it.
For a more advanced user/wallets lndhub I suggest to use LNBits instead of BW LNdhub. You have more options.

Has this changed recently? Because my experience is different. During my test transactions a fee has been deducted. Am I doing something wrong?
I had some funds in an LNDHub Bluewallet, which I kind of forgot about when I wiped my node and started again recently. I managed to restore my channels and recovered the correct balance (less some closure fees). I can’t restore the Bluewallet though as it’s trying to connect to a different address now. If I’m understanding correctly from the above messages, I haven’t lost the sats that were in the Bluewallet, I’ve just lost the “allocation” made to that LN wallet in LNDHub. Is that correct?
When I connect bluewallet to my node by reading the QR from umbrel, it does it through tor and it’s slow. My node is hybrid, how can I connect it through clearnet?
Do you know if there is any plan to support LNBits or Blue Wallet LNDHub for Core-Lightning ?
Thanks
This question may have been answered but I would still appreciate some clarification/explanation.
What happens if a connected BlueWallet user loses their backup, or if the node’s TOR address changes?
Are the sats in that wallet recoverable? Is there a guide to restoring a stranded user balance on LNDhub?
Hello, thanks for the nice contribution.
The things is that I have connected my BW to my LND Hub (Umbrel Node) for getting started into LN. But as you said here, I need aonther LN wallet to fund my recently created LN Wallet. So do I break this vicious circle?
Is there a way to open a channel in my LND Hub?
Thanks!
Generate an invoice in BW and proceed with payment using Thunderhub, which distinguishes it from Lightning Node app by not treating it as a self-payment.
I have a question about how refilling the LNDHub balance works.
I have BlueWallet configured with LND. It has a balance, let’s say for example, 500,000 sats.
Later I refill with an on-chain balance and add another 500,000 sats.
How exactly are the sats from the new UTXO added to the total balance of that wallet?
What happens if that UTXO is spent from the on-chain wallet later?
Thanks.
Now that they have removed the option to connect via TOR this seems a bit useless.
You can still use it via zues
That’s good to now, what would the host be that I have to fill in Zeus, because I get an error when I fill in just the TOR host and port.
Scan the backup code if you already made a lndhub account
