Dedicated IP (for Nodes)
When you run a node behind a dedicated IP, other peers can reliably connect to you, enhancing network resilience. However, it also makes your node’s IP visible, which can reduce privacy—especially if that IP is tied to personal information.
Some advanced node operators prefer dedicated IP setups to ensure consistent uptime and faster block/transaction propagation. Others opt for Tor or VPN to hide their IP, trading some performance benefits for stronger anonymity. Ultimately, it’s a personal choice balancing convenience, privacy, and security considerations.
