monerod 0.17.3.0 now support proxy option
A proxy option has long been missing from monerod, meaning it was always problematic to conceal your traffic from ISPs. A bit ironic considering monero is supposed to be privacy focused, and other blockchain software has had proxy option forever.
But starting with 0.17.3.0 you can send all your traffic over a proxy such as tor or a proxy your VPN service may offer.

Re: monerod 0.17.3.0 now support proxy option
This is a nice addition, but previously you could run monerod over tor pretty easily using something like torsocks or whonix (but these require more technical chops)
From the commit logs: "This patch eliminates the need for torsocks by introducing a command line argument for setting the socks proxy. This will also allow the GUI to spawn monerod without using torsocks to fix simple and bootstrap mode on Tails."
It's worth noting though that the monero wire protocol is designed to be secure even over insecure networks using things like dandelion++. An attacker (like your ISP) can only know that your using monero, they can't tamper or really find out much useful information even with a complete man-in-the-middle interception. This feature just makes running monero over tor easier to setup. You can also run monero over I2P that has been available for a while now.
