I have following questions about your statement.
1. How exactly Muun wallet able to send Bitcoin on LN in offline manner? Unless i missed it, their website[1] and blog[2] doesn't mention such feature.
2. What do you mean by entry and exit node? LN whitepaper[3] have exactly 0 mention of "entry node" and "exit node".

[1] https://github.com/muun
[2] https://blog.muun.com/
[3] https://lightning.network/lightning-network-paper.pdf

1. Perhaps, I should have used the term Off-chain not offline that created the confusion in the first place.
2. I used the term we generally use for TOR, LN uses the onion routing too so I used the same analogy because that's how I remember these things so maybe those are wrong and I should have replied extensively instead of simple terms.

And that's what I said almost impossible.

1. Yeah. Off-chain and offline have different meaning.
2. That makes sense when you mention use Tor's onion routing as analogy. But since i don't how exactly Muun and Speed wallet manage LN channel, there's possibility of reduced privacy either due to,
  • Muun send Bitcoin directly to Speed without any intermediate channel.
  • Muun may setup it's LN in a way that know the destination. For reference, this is limitation exist on Phoenix wallet.
