I really hope that the update comes soon, been waiting for almost a year by now.

But to enable clearnet: [Core Lightning with Tor AND IPv4 clearnet](https://community.start9.com/t/core-lightning-with-tor-and-ipv4-clearnet/965)

I’m just not sure if a lightning node requires a respected certificate of if the self signed one could somehow stand in the way.
