Full nodes behind TOR and other proxies

Currently it’s impossible to run full node behind censorship-resistant proxies such as tor. This poses a problem for nodes; and even bigger trouble for stakers.

As far as I understand, TOR doesn’t support UDP while it’s required for current gossip. What’s needed to be kept in mind while designing an alternative networking protocol? How feasible is this, at all?

LLARP (Low-Latency Anonymous Routing Protocol) and it’s reference implementation Lokinet supports UDP.
