How to remove / change my announced Clearnet IP (no static IP)?
Hi everyone,
I once announced my Lightning node via clearnet using my (former) public IP address.
The problem is: my node is running behind a private home router, and I do not have a static IP. So every time my ISP changes my IP, my node becomes unreachable for others.
Now I would like to remove or update the announced clearnet IP, but I can’t find any setting in my node configuration where this IP is defined.
I’ve checked my config (LND / Umbrel), but I cannot find:
- an externalip entry
- an alias or announce setting with my public IP
- anything that clearly controls the advertised address
Yet the old IP is still visible on LN+/Amboss / 1ML /....
Questions:
- Where does LND store the announced clearnet IP if it is not in the config?
- How can I remove it or replace it properly?
- Do I need to: manually set externalip= or force a re-announce to the network?
Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!

Do you really want to update it dynamically? I don't think it's a good idea. Stick to Tor only.
Do you know how to access a file like ~/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/lnd.conf ?

Hi there, Thanks for your reply. Exactlly, i do NOT want to update it dynamically. So I do not want to use clearnet at all. (Was just a initial test)
Therefore: I am not running it in Hybrid mode. (option disabled)
I looked it up several times and was directed to the " ~/umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/umbrel-lnd.conf " but with the note in the file saying:
" # This file is automatically generated by Umbrel, any changes will be overwritten. # Generated at: ..."
So then I was guided to "umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/umbrel-lnd.conf" but whatever I tried did not take effect... so I removed(/renamed) it again.
What would you say is needed here? (listen,nat,upnp,externalip,externalhosts,....) Couldn't figure it out yet.... Or do I have to somehow announce, that my node is now only accessablie through Tor?
Thanks and cheers, Will

For UmbrelOS 1.5, you need a separate lnd.conf file (umbrel/app-data/lightning/data/lnd/) with your specific settings, such as externalhosts=xxx

Review, remove, or add to your settings in this file and restart Lightning/Node.
If that doesn't help, check your port forwarding settings on your router. Deleting the relevant ones may also help.
