Node operators are experiencing issues on Hetzner where nodes attempt to dial old nodes (last active 2 years ago). The likely cause is the IPFS reconnection job looping over these nodes non-stop without filtering. Added a filter that only returns nodes seen after a specific datetime and a config value to specify the accepted period. By default, the node will attempt to reconnect to other peers seen at most a day ago.
