 My lightning node was down for weeks and I didn't notice because I had monitors on everything except the lnd process 😞

Sadly, no clue as to why it crashed. 
 If you were a member of #Nodestrich someone would have told you in less than a minute.

 I just join, waiting for approvals.
I'm looking to open channels to node used by merchants and users that pay with Bitcoin regularly. Not interested in routing only nodes and nodes from exchanges, especially big ones.

 Tor only? 
 Gave up on Tor due to reliability issues. 
 So is it on clearnet now? Any suggestions for the toe alternatives? I suspect it causes some payment failures.  
 I haven’t followed it closely but apparently Tor folks recently implemented a change that prevents the DoS attack the network has been under. 
 The Tor project added proof of work based ddos protection from 0.4.8 version. I find Tor recently more stable except the French exits as they seem to block Nostr relays and certain sites. Can other lightning operators confirm problems with Tor after the recent change?  
 Didn't they get infiltrated by some of those three letter agencies. When #Tor found an excuse to boot out one of their top programmers.

Beginning to sound like #Bitcoin..😐😊🤭 
 Look into indranet or cloakednet. They look interesting but are still alpha.

 Never happened to me and I have 2 Nodes running. 
 I like CLN. LND almost lost me thousands in sats. Core Lightning is conservative. Also now core lightning has a nice guitar attached.  
 I changed to CLN (start9) + UPS and works perfectly.
