https://api.umbrel.com/ is a clearnet address. Wouldn't my node connecting to that address reveal my real IP address?

See https://twitter.com/runcitadel/status/1680227793106247681 for discussion thread on this.

Yes, it does. This url is used for update checking and the solution would be to add a toggle: "Tunnel updates through TOR"
