You mention convincing tor lightning nodes to convert to hybrid. Am I mistaken, but can't a node run clearnet with your service? If so, what would be the advantage of hybrid?

You can certainly run Tunnelsats with Clearnet only, via our VPN tunnels. But we would always recommend to go hybrid, since two connections are better than one.
  • in the unlikely event we have downtimes, your node is still online and able to connect to your channels, even if you've been connected via clearnet before
  • with hybrid, you can open channels to Tor only nodes, while clearnet only nodes need to ask the other side to add you as a peer first.
  • it doesn't really do any harm, even though the HTLC relay times with Tor are not really useful
So our primary aim is to allow and enable hybrid via tunnel splitting, while clearnet only certainly is possible, too.
