This is an actual issue which neither you nor the industry is going to change anytime soon. I was asking for a nice little feature or a workaround which doesn't involve rudely intercepting and terminating connections the software makes. If there is no such feature then I will file a feature request, however noone could yet give me a conclusive answer to my question: > […] is there a way to change go-ipfs' behaviour in that regard (using swarm filters or similar)? > And if not, would I file an issue with go-ipfs or is this within boundaries of other projects like libp2p?
