Why exactly is it so important that IP addresses are kept secret?

High spike in incoming data, high CPU usage

My incoming data to the node suddenly spiked from the usual 200 kbit/s to 11 Mbit/s. It has already tapered off, but I wonder what could have caused this. It is IOTA traffic. It is one node which pushed that data to me. I think I was told that it is…

Why do public nodes use http instead of https?

All public nodes are configured in HTTP. Why aren't they using HTTPS? I can figure out that it's easier to setup and that a TCP connection is also a little faster. But is there any other reason to use HTTP? Is it possible to setup a node with…
