What happens when the bootstrap mode finishes downloading the blockchain? The wallet stays in the same mode (bootstrap) or does it change to another mode, like advanced mode using local node?

(in monero GUI)

does 'Carbon Chamaeleon' (v0.15.0.5-release) node required to be launched with ALL RPC restricted (--restricted-rpc)? Or rpc-restricted-bind-port would be enough?

* for RPC payment enabled node

probably rpc-payment-allow-free-loopback will help, but it is not released yet

rating89us: It remains in the same mode. However, the wallet switches to utilizing the local node
