An attack vector I hadn’t considered before in regards to pre-built bitcoin node stacks:
When the software is pinging the developers servers to see if there is an update available it is doing so over clearnet instead of tor, even though you have tor enabled. Thus exposing your IP address.
Much better to run core on your own and avoid the bitcoin prebuilt node stacks out there.
