Running a clearnet lightning node with a cloudflare tunnel does have issues.

When cloudflare changes your IP (often), some nodes have problems finding your node.

Your pubkey@ip is often out of date on amboss/1ml so you miss our on inbound liquidity.

Overall I don't recommend it.

Doesn't changing IP addresses often hurt your overall ranking on Amboss and other ranking services?

Actually not sure about that

Is there a way to specify host name ? I was trying to figure this out for a while! 🐢🐾🫑

Not that I know of, I believe it has to use IP

Thanks! 🐢🐾🫑

Found this https://github.com/lightning/bolts/pull/911 will need to look into it! 🐢🐾🫑

tunnelsats seems like a solution, it's paid service though and routing fees will hardly cover the costs for it
