I wasn't able to continue using Phoenix in the US, not without a VPN. My channel was force closed, even after spending a good chunk of money for inbound liquidity.

Nice guide.
Only thing that is misleading by saying

>Amid increasing regulatory scrutiny, Phoenix decided to pull its app from U.S. platforms. They advised users to close their channels and withdraw funds by May 3, 2024, when the service was discontinued in the U.S.

Correction: it is doscontinued ONLY in the standard play store apps (Apple and Google).
You can still use the app as usual, dy downloading it from their Github and NOT using the apps stores to install it. It is very easy to use it with Obtainium or zap.store.
