e7cf8657e1test: add unit test for local address advertising (Martin Zumsande)f4754b9dfbnet: restrict self-advertisements with privacy networks (Martin Zumsande)e4d541c7cfnet, refactor: pass reference for peer address in GetReachabilityFrom (Martin Zumsande)62d73f5370net, refactor: pass CNode instead of CNetAddr to GetLocalAddress (Martin Zumsande) Pull request description: The current logic for self-advertisements works such that we detect as many local addresses as we can, and then, using the scoring matrix from `CNetAddr::GetReachabilityFrom()`, self-advertise with the address that fits best to our peer. It is in general not hard for our peers to distinguish our self-advertisements from other addrs we send them, because we self-advertise every ~24h and because the first addr we send over a connection is likely our self-advertisement. `GetReachabilityFrom()` currently only takes into account actual reachability, but not whether we'd _want_ to announce our identity for one network to peers from other networks, which is not straightforward in connection with privacy networks. While the general approach is to prefer self-advertising with the address for the network our peer is on, there are several special situations in which we don't have one, and as a result could allow self-advertise other local addresses, for example: A) We run i2p and clearnet, use `-i2pacceptincoming=0` (so we have no local i2p address), and we have a local ipv4 address. In this case, we'd advertise the ipv4 address to our outbound i2p peers. B) Our `-discover` logic cannot detect any local clearnet addresses in our network environment, but we are actually reachable over clearnet. If we ran bitcoind clearnet-only, we'd always advertise the address our peer sees us with instead, and could get inbound peers this way. Now, if we also have an onion service running (but aren't using tor as a proxy for clearnet connections), we could advertise our onion address to clearnet peers, so that they would be able to connect our clearnet and onion identities. This PR tries to avoid these situations by 1.) never advertising our local Tor or I2P address to peers from other networks. 2.) never advertising local addresses from non-anonymity networks to peers from Tor or I2P Note that this affects only our own self-advertisements, the rules to forward other people's addrs are not changed. [Edit] after Initial [discussion](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27411#issuecomment-1497176155): CJDNS is not being treated like Tor and I2P at least for now, because it has different privacy properties and for the practical reason that it has still very few bitcoin nodes.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.
What is Bitcoin Core?
Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.
Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
