From 97208634b96f2d9a55f2ead7b0ef407da729d7bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasil Dimov Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2021 09:19:09 +0100 Subject: net: open p2p connections to nodes that listen on non-default ports By default, for mainnet, the p2p listening port is 8333. Bitcoin Core has a strong preference for only connecting to nodes that listen on that port. Remove that preference because connections over clearnet that involve port 8333 make it easy to detect, analyze, block or divert Bitcoin p2p traffic before the connection is even established (at TCP SYN time).
