So this is how I understand it. Hopefully I can explain it correctly.

Everything is still encrypted like normal of course. Dandelion only protects you from malicious nodes on the network knowing what node broadcasted a transaction.

But your ISP would still know you were the one who broadcasted a transaction (they still wouldn't be able to see amounts/receivers). Does that make sense?

Damn. Is there a way to get monero running in start9? We need that.

Not sure, but all you have to do to protect yourself from your ISP is use Tor or at least a good VPN. But even if you didn't, all they would know is you used Monero. They wouldn't know how much Monero you sent or who received it.

Good to know

Start9 will run monerod over TOR and is setup using the community marketplace. You then connect your client to your start9 server.
