I tested I2P a number of years ago and havent messed with it since. Been wanting to get back into setting it up for torrenting on my server. Will have to do some research and set it back up this weekend. Nows a better time than any I guess. Thanks for the reminder to start again.
How do you get started?
If I remember correctly its setting up a software I2P router on your OS and setting up your browser to only go through that router. Like I said its been a long time since I used it and need to look it up how to set it up and use it again.
I tried it again recently as a comparison to Tor and I much prefer the "everyone is a node" system + full TCP and UDP support, but the main downside is throughput/bandwidth.
It's excellent if you've got time but I wish they would bump the default node share limits so thst the network runs faster.
Yeah, I do know its alot slower. I at least want to get it set up as a fallback if this bullshit the governments are doing actually happens.
