Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22834: net: respect -onlynet= when making outbound connections
0eea83a85ec6b215d44facc2b16ee1b035275a6b scripted-diff: rename `proxyType` to `Proxy` (Vasil Dimov) e53a8505dbb6f9deaae8ac82793a4fb760a1e0a6 net: respect -onlynet= when making outbound connections (Vasil Dimov) Pull request description: Do not make outbound connections to hosts which belong to a network which is restricted by `-onlynet`. This applies to hosts that are automatically chosen to connect to and to anchors. This does not apply to hosts given to `-connect`, `-addnode`, `addnode` RPC, dns seeds, `-seednode`.
