DigitalOcean /Satoshi:24.0.1/ spy nodes connected during IBD

Observations
1

While setting up a nodes for https://demo.peer.observer, I noticed on the netinfo.html page that I immediately get inbound connections for spy nodes. These connect even while during IBD.

These seem to be the same IP addresses connected to both nodes.
