If a user sends Monero through a remote node, then the remote node operator would know the originating IP of that transaction. What are the steps that a user is able to take to reduce this potential privacy concern while using a remote node?

3Kinda duplicate of monero.stackexchange.com/questions/1134/…, but not quite. This will have information you will find interesting. – user36303 Nov 28 '16 at 8:34

1I'd say this is the better one: monero.stackexchange.com/questions/38/… , but yeah, this is different because its two questions. OP, can you change your question to "How can you minimize risks when using a remote node?" – Ginger Ale Feb 16 '17 at 0:26

If it's only about sending moneroj, one could generate locally a signed transaction and forward it through a service like https://xmrchain.net/rawtx using tor/i2p/vpn to hide the originating IP.

I believe that the remove node will have access to your IP and can know the transactions that your wallet asked to mix yours
I dont think there is any way to prevent this, the only advice that I can think of is using diferent nodes at diferent times
