The explanation of the entire process was excellent and the inclusion of how to get the missing step done by clicking the gear key. I was previously vexed by how to set this up not being highly confident technically but having it all explained and the solution to the problems you encountered being included made it possible for me to do. I hope this post will be accessible to others who face the same problem getting their LN wallet connected. I too have not yet seen any fees for small transactions but on larger ones the fees on coinos seem to me to be lower than the alby fees. Coinos and Alby are the only wallets I can use as i am only interested in using Linux OS and most other wallets don't seem to support linux/browser based use.
