Phasing out de2.tunnelsats.com - How to switch to de3.tunnelsats.com

Problems with one of our providers forced us to switch to a new one, so we phasing out de2.tunnelsats.com slowly. If you are running your node on this VPN (EU continent), please take a minute to read how to switch your connection to the new vpn: de3.tunnelsats.com

In fact there are five simple steps to take:

1. Edit your tunnelsatsv2.conf and change Endpoint entry to Endpoint = de3.tunnelsats.com:51820

2. Fetch latest version of setup script: wget -O setupv2.sh https://github.com/tunnelsats/tunnelsats/raw/main/scripts/setupv2.sh

3. Run it: sudo bash setupv2.sh

4. Edit your lightning config file and change the DNS entry accordingly:

   • LND: externalhosts=de3.tunnelsats.com:<yourVPNport>
   • CLN: announce-addr=de3.tunnelsats.com:<yourVPNport>
   • As always before changing the config, it is good practice to backup your config.
     • To backup the conf use sudo cp <path/to/conf> <path/where/tosafe/backup>
     • E.g., for raspiblitz and lnd: sudo cp /mnt/hdd/lnd/lnd.conf ~/lnd_backup.conf

5. Restart your lightning implementation

Verify the switch to de3.tunnelsats.com
To verify that the switch worked, you can run

• LND: lncli getinfo | jq '.uris'
• CLN: lightning-cli getinfo | jq '.address'

The public IP should start with 159.x.x.x

Where do I find the config files?
If you can not locate a file (e.g., the tunnelsatsv2.conf or your lightning config) you can always use the find command.

• Locate tunnelsatsv2.conf: sudo find / -maxdepth 5 -type d \( -path /etc/wireguard -o -path /sd-root \) -prune -o -type f -name "tunnelsatsv2.conf" -print
  • Tunnelsats installs two independent config files both called tunnelsatsv2.conf (a user config, and a config for the vpn client wireguard).
  • For the switch to de3.tunnelsats.com you want to edit the user config (default in ~/tunnelsats/tunnelsatsv2.conf)
• Locate LND config: sudo find / -name "lnd.conf"
• Locate CLN config: sudo find / -name "conf"

Note: For the most common lightning node packages we documented the default location of the configuration files, see:

• Where do I find my lightning configuration file?
• If you run into any trouble please reach out (Where to get help?)
