Thanks man. So are most individual node runners using Tor? In Alby Hub (hosted) I can see where to open a channel to a custom partner, but maybe connecting to a tor node requires more than “pubkey, host, and port”?
If you’re running the free version on your own node you use your existing channels. With the hosted version, I haven’t seen a way to add channels from TOR nodes, I don’t think that’s possible.
If you just need inbound liquidity, go to the advanced options and you can choose your LSP. nostr:npub1l0ans4w4psmcv6hsqjz2v3mxszhputlsfn4emkynv3jlwrfez59s35q0ug currently has the lowest prices for liquidity.

Most node packages come out of the box with Tor enabled. Umbrel does, which is why I can’t connect it directly to Alby cloud, but it works just fine as a standalone app on Umbrel itself.
