According to memepool space the majority of LN nodes are run on server farms right?

I would be willing to bet a chunk of those proxy their public endpoint via a cloud server, while actually being self hosted (I do this)

There’s no a way to tell that?

Aren't these just the clearnet nodes? But yes, they are mostly on centralized server farms like AWS

It hides my home IP address and allowing me to use clearnet.

Ya know I ran a node for a decade and never did this? Why does it matter?

Because I don't want you or anyone else to ping my node or any domain that I'm running and see my home IP address. It's simply a matter of privacy. Tor nodes are great but unreliable. This allows me to use both Tor and ClearNet and have a reliable node.
