P2P and Network Changes

Improved Onion Connectivity

To enhance censorship resistance and mitigate network partitioning risks, Dash Core now aims to maintain at least two outbound onion connections and generally protects these connections from eviction. As a result of the low percentage of gossiped addresses being onion nodes, it was often the case where, unless you specify onlynet=onion, a node would rarely if ever establish any outbound onion connections. This change ensures that nodes which can access the onion network maintain a few onion connections. As a result, network messages could continue to propagate across the network even if non-onion IPv4 traffic is blocked, reducing the risk of partitioning. Additionally, this update improves security by enabling p2p encryption for these peers. (#6147)
