Thanks for your feedback!

Couldn't you also use commando for your local instance? Do you mind to explain why you prefer CLNRest over commando?

[sha-265]

I don't care using commando, but I don't want to use it over a proxy, but locally. I tried to do so, but it didn't work.

[reneaaron]

There are currently no plans to implement CLNRest, however you could run your own proxy alongside your node if you want to do so.

Is there an option to skip this proxy and connect directly to the node's commando?

[reneaaron]

In a browser we can only communicate with websockets (which lnsocket-proxy provides) compared to the native RPC calls commando offers, so I don't think there is a way to do so unfortunately.
