 Serious technical questions about #cashu

#cashu enhances privacy at the custodian level by leveraging ecash and blinded signatures, I got it and the inner worling ofnthe mechanism.

If I connect to a mint from the same IP (being that with VPN or my true IP) isn't that ruining my privacy that I supposedly gained with the cryptographic tweaking?

And if I use tor to connect to a mint, am I supposed to create a new tor connection every time in order to break any correlation and link between token requests?

Since creating a new tor connection for any interaction with the mint is a bit redundant and slow, could NWS somehow solve this issue? Is NWS a viable service for anonimizing the requests to mints?
