I think some things should be done, to protect on a minimum level all node users from massive IP:PORT scanning & reveal some hidden-nodes.
Best example would be something like I2P & torrenting does by binding a random port.
BTW, people still can spy the network by running a node since it’s a P2P network, so idk if that’s really worth it ?
And network packets should be encrypted in tls/ssl then it not leaks dandelion’s origin.
I also added --anonymous-inbound on monerod (yes I did my hidden-service ect) but no inbound connections.
Started to wonder how it should be used and if a local-node could anonymously seed Monero like that.
It would mean:
- no need to pay a VPN, for running a hidden public-node.
- easy seeding, without ISP snooping.
- no port opening on ISP’s router (noob friendly)

BTW you can setup Feather Wallet to download everything over Tor
