Hey,

I'm running a Ƀ full node on Umbrel and I'm a little confused about this one option:

Make All Outgoing Connections to Clearnet Peers Over Tor
(proxy)
Connect to peers available on the clearnet via Tor to preserve your anonymity at the cost of slightly less security.

Why are outgoing connections through Tor less secure?
