This is the problem with Lightning. You run a node at home over TOR to protect your privacy, but TOR is DDoSed garbage, so sometimes transactions time out or are just very slow. So, people opt to use a hosted solution, so you have a fast node and protect your privacy, but doing so you give the infrastructure admins access to your keys. I love Lightning, but neither of these are good solutions.
Perhaps, see if it would be possible to run it over Safing.io Portmaster SPN. It's like a onion router network, but much faster.
There is some middle ground between running your home node through TOR and running your node on AWS. Just use AWS to route to your home node and skip TOR.
This is a good point, but your average person won't do this.
META: I keep bugging nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 or nostr:npub1tcsfj5636h8yqpvgrkrk4ewrfqsjrl67a9sux9wzv9mxc5m8skmsaacu6x (but that ambiguity is another bug) about https://git.v0l.io/Kieran/snort/issues/386 but another way to "fix" this would be for clients to stop using positional e-tags. May I ask you which client you used here that still uses positional e-tags?
I'm using Amethyst at the moment.
