Lightning over Tor does NOT use Tor exit nodes. It only uses the Tor hidden services. When a Tor-only node sends a payment to an IP only node, there must be a node along the path that supports either:
  • both Tor and IP
OR
  • socks5 proxy and IP.
I2P would work the same way. It doesn't matter that I2P has no exit nodes.
I know bitcoin can run over I2P, but can Lightning? is there any doc o tutorial to read?
reply
So far, no lightning implementations have support for I2P. It's really upsetting because many LN nodes are disabling Tor and going clearnet or VPN/proxy instead.

thanks for correcting me. i didn't realize that.
how does a tor only node peer with an ip only node?
