Description

Reachability is not consistent information, and for some unknown reason, some public nodes with public IPs are shown as private [Example [here](https://bootstrap1.pactus.org/node)].
Any idea why this happens? Probably, this may have some effects on other modules, which I believe should be taken care of.

Research direction

Start with the reachability data shown for public nodes at https://bootstrap1.pactus.org/node and compare nodes with public IPs that are classified as private. Trace where reachability is determined and check which other modules consume it; done means the classification is consistent and affected consumers are addressed.
