I don't intend on routing public tx when I move to mainnet though, I planned on routing through TOR with a private address. So, my use-case might not be the best because if everyone did it this way, it would defeat the purpose of LN.
The thing is that even when i'm not an expert in the subject, Tor could solve many security issues and not only DDoS. It's a somewhat simple solution for what could potentially be bigger problems specially today when DDoSing or hacking security systems is becoming increasingly easy.
The point of view of the administration to improve security couldn't come in a better time.
