The nodes that were not apart of the big subnets switched/updated to pass the proxy check a month or 2 ago. 23:44:26 Ah so they are paying attention :P 23:48:33 The scanner doesn't detect whether nodes are running the ban lists directly. Instead, the scanner infers they are running the ban lists by whether any of the banlisted IPs are shared in the peerlist exchange that occurs every time nodes contact each other. Since there are no more nodes on the network that are on the DNS ban li [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/lqOO-NAKUkJkMUty ] 23:50:38 This explanation is displayed if you click the circled ❓️ in the top right of the chart. 23:51:51 There are probably still some spy nodes in the DigitalOcean and Hetzner ASN, but I haven't done the check yet.
