i use monero.fail website to cycle through some nodes specially the tor ones which i usually use it with my mobile wallet.
ofcourse i use my own node on my desktop . I also prefer to run the node over vpn to avoid any tracing.

Right, this is kind of the behavior we’re looking to prevent, because randomly choosing nodes from public lists is harmful for privacy. Since it is now proven that malicious nodes can provide valuable data to blockchain analysis companies.
Actually, cycling through random nodes is probably even worse than picking a random one and sticking with it, for the same reason random entry relays are worse than static Guard relays on Tor.
Of course, only using Tor nodes definitely helps lol

For those wondering how malicious nodes can de-anonymize users.

Quite mad that still in 2024 enabling TLS is being celebrated and even something used in marketing asking for applause. I am lost here.
