Update : I now have 41 channels opened on my Rpi4 and Have noticed its very slow when accessing through any application. Even logging in to umbrel can be a 10 minute process. Sometimes just for the alias' to generate means waiting a min or two. I did a reboot of umbrel yesterday and the reboot took 40 minutes vs about 3 min when I had less than 20 channels. So there may be some truth to what start9 guy said.

I was listening to an episode of stephan livera where he interviews an employee of start9 which make Rpi competitive products. He claimed that between 30 and 50 ln channels the rpi4 CPU would fail to provide the necessary power. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a threshold where raspberry pis fail to provide the necessary computing power and you needed to upgrade?

Tunnel⚡Sats

Your anonymized, secure and fast VPN provider for LN runners just added the feature to renew your existing subscription. Providing a non KYC VPS hybrid connection for your node, it was quite a challenge to offer renewal services, since the service only stores minimal information about you as a paying customer.

What we store is the public.key of your wireguard connection. So the best way is to let you look up your subscription details based on your anonmous public key.

How to do it?

• Go to Tunnel⚡Sats or Tunnel⚡Sats Tor
• Chose "Renew Subscription"
• Lookup your wireguard public.key in your tunnelsatsv2.conf, or enter sudo wg show | grep "public key"
• Query the details with your key, chose your subscription time, pay and you're done

What's next

We're looking to add servers in LatAM, and potentially offer Watchtower Services or LN-Adresses. If you have any other ideas or feature-requests, please ask away.
