Download the ban list and:

./monerod --ban-list

Best solution when connecting to public nodes would be through Tor. Even if the public node is a spy node somehow with tor enabled, they would still be able to see requested blocks but would not be able to pinpoint who is requesting. It still adds a good layer and is recommended by most, but it is not perfect because Tor is also somewhat under a timing attack.
