If you care about privacy there is one more advanced setup:

you create a node with all the connectivity, channels, etc.

then you create a private node with one private channel to your "public" node.

But give your strugle with funding your channels it's probably not for you, tho... 

 Not yet. I have to convince myself it's okay to have that many sats tied up in an extremely hot wallet. I'm a stamped steel cold wallet kind of guy. Coins go in, and don't come back out.
