Hello, I just finished syncing my node and have some questions. My router and internet service don’t allow for port forwarding, but I found somewhere that on Umbrel, I can get around that using Tor. How do I set that up?

Also, does Tailscale allow me to avoid using port forwarding or Tor? The main thing is that I want to run a full node that allows for inbound connections. So far, mine only shows 1 inbound connection and 10 outbound.  
also what are the best setting for my node? thanks
