get a vpn

I think it’s even more important to pipe up about i2p

If we’re making it more our own again, and harder for them to understand it we then as people regain our Internet.

They wanna play whack a mole with millions bring it on 😅

This is really interesting, but I guess I don’t fully understand it. Does this replace your ISP (like Comcast for example), or am I just reconfiguring my browser to access these sites and not send my traffic through the regular Internet?

  What AI had to say about it:
  
  Yes, I2P (Invisible Internet Project) does require an internet service provider (ISP) for its functionality. While I2P is a decentralized network, it relies on your existing internet connection to function. You still need an ISP to connect to the internet and access I2P’s network.
  
  I don’t really understand it either. Sounds like a series of tubes.

  Nah, you run it over your existing ISP connection but set up an “i2p router” on a PC / laptop / server to connect to others on the i2p network.
  
  Here’s a vid on some discussion about what it is

  It’s kinda like Tor, but different, more secure from what I understand. You also can’t access normal internet sites while properly connected to i2p

are there any downsides like speed and connectivity?
or has all that been worked out since it’s been around since 2002 (and apparently I’ve never heard of it like Tot, which has its own drawbacks)?

  Obviously there’s not as many seeds for torrents as there is on the Clearnet, but recent uploads saw me getting reasonably decent speeds while some of the older torrents can take some time or be dead…just like the ones on the Clearnet.
  
  There is something that while it doesn’t affect me here in the UK (yet…) there are issues with connectivity in certain dictatorships listed on their site

  Try it out, there’s even an Android app which I never really used and only have i2p on my server at home. Reading the reviews it seems to be hit and miss on a phone, and I should really give it a try sometime.
