Just wanted to know what you guys consider to be better when torrenting. Is it I2P network or a VPN like Mullvad, Proton or IVPN?

    Which is sort of obvious because Tor discourages using ADSL etc. for relays. The question is if I2P will be doing better.

      I mean it’s not ideal but if you don’t mind the extra electricity, have some old laptop or raspberry pi you can use to run relay or bridgde and limit your bandwidth than I don’t see why you shouldn’t.

      Also I2P is really faster than tor since you contribute to the network just by using it unlike tor. Although I’m not sure how many users this network has nowadays :/

        I don’t see why you shouldn’t.

        You shouldn’t because sysadmins everywhere block you from their networks, even if you’re just a relay.
        Been hosting a relay for 5 years and it’s been a thorn in my side the whole time but I refuse to stop.

            It’s not your ISP that blocks you and your ISP doesn’t care. All your ISP sees is encrypted data going in and out.

              Nah I get what you said earlier but what I’m saying is that you should also inform you ISP. And that they don’t care isn’t necessarily true for every ISP especially if they may get a letter about it.
