A script to activate a public VPN service + killswitch (firewall): EDIT moved to a gist: https://gist.github.com/openoms/037bb0e3cccab58bfac5376db37bb57c

TODO for v1.7.2 remove the `setting ${lndConfFile} ${insertLine} "tor.streamisolation" "true"` from lnd.check.sh as it is incompatible with `tor.skip-proxy-for-clearnet-targets=true` and will cause trouble when the lnd.conf is edited manually.

For v1.7.2 `tor.skip-proxy-for-clearnet-targets=true` can be configured manually and `lnd.check.sh` will switch `tor.streamisolation` off on LND restart. Pushing the better clearnet support to v1.8.

> Will two nodes that both have `tor.skip-proxy-for-clearnet-targets=true` still communicate though tor only? if neither of them have a public IP endpoint advertised then yes, will communicate over Tor.

@maximlomans to disable the tor streamisolation edit it to false in the `config.scripts/lnd.check.sh` since this is coming up repeatedly will disable this check completely for the next release
